Ò Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance – if it will not fit the
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Ò Be sure that the power cord is always accessible by the user after the
appliance is installed.
Ò Never use an extension cord or adapter to connect the appliance to the
electrical power due to the risk of electric shock and/or fire.
Ò It is the personal responsibility and obligation of the appliance owner to
provide a proper and grounded outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Ò Never use a damaged power cord since there is a risk of electric shock and/
or fire.
Ò The damaged power cord must be replaced by a qualified electrician as soon
as possible.
Ò Electrical supply voltage must conform to the voltage specifications (208-
240V, 60Hz) located on the appliance. For this purpose, a junction box (as
seen in picture below) must be obtained. Junction box is supplied with
Blomberg Clothes Dryer (model no: DV 16540 NBL00) and it works as a
voltage converter from 110/120V to 208/240V between the mains and
appliance.
Ò Only one appliance must be connected to a properly grounded individual
branch circuit outlet.
Ò Be sure to unplug the power cable before attempting maintenance or
cleaning of your appliance to minimize the risk of electric shock. Always
unplug the cable by grasping the plug, not the cord.
Ò Do not use wet hands when plugging/unplugging the power cable.

WARNING
Ò Be sure that there are rubber seals located on the hose connections. These
seals and adjustable bolts ensure a safe connection without leaking. After the
water connection is done, turn on both water faucets slowly and completely
to check any water leaks.
Ò Be sure that water supply hoses are not crushed and they have no kinking,
bulges or cuts before the water connection.
The water pressure must be between 15-145 psi (1-10 bar) for the proper operation of this washer.
1 bar corresponds to more than 2.1 US gallons (8 liters) per minute flow rate with a fully open faucet.
Water inlet hoses and valves should withstand a water pressure of 145 psi (10 bar) at maximum. If the
pressure is higher than 145 psi, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed before the water inlet.
If the water pressure is lower than 15 psi (1 bar), water fill time may extend or water inlet valve may
shut off completely.

About Detergent
C
CAUTION
Ò Your washer is designed to use only HE (high efficiency) detergents. You
should always look for the following symbol on the label of detergents:
If you use a non-HE detergent with this washer, high sudsing will occur. High sudsing will decrease
tumble action effectiveness, washing and rinsing performance worsen. Suds may flow out of
detergent dispenser giving damage to your washer.
C
CAUTION
Ò Thedetergentslabeledas“HEcompatible”mayalsoleadtohighsudsing

Always follow the instructions and information given by laundry detergent manufacturers when using
these products.
A
WARNING
Ò Storelaundrydetergentsandadditivesinacool,dryplaceoutofchildren’s
reach due to danger of chemical poisoning and skin irritation.
Detergent Quantity
The amount of washing detergent to use depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and
water hardness.
For small amounts of laundry or only slight soiling use accordingly less detergent.
Too much detergent causes an excessive amount of foaming, bad washing and rinsing results and a
strain on water resources.
Too little washing detergent causes laundry to turn grey and calcification of the machine.
Recommended amount of powder detergent is max. 1/3 cup (80 ml). Recommended amount of liquid
detergent is max. 1/4 cup (60 ml).

cause early dispensing of the additives thus poor wash results and fabric
damage.
Ò Do not open the drawer during wash program (except for addition of liquid
main wash detergent at the beginning of main wash water intake).

WARNING
Ò There may be water at 158F (70°C) in the drum. Therefore, the filter must
be cleaned only after the inside water is cooled down to avoid hazard of

2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be composed of one or two pieces according to the model of
your washer.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out

Descaling the washer
Hard water can cause scale build-up inside the drum and other parts of your washer in time. Scaling
may lead to some serious problems such as clogging in hoses, heater or pump failure eventually.
To prevent scaling, wash drum should be cleaned frequently. Do not use abrasive materials such as
metal wool while cleaning the drum.
