• If you are using a programme without

pre-washing, do not put detergent in the

pre-wash compartment (compartment

no. “1”).

• If you are using a program with prewash,

start the machine after adding powder

detergent to the prewash and main wash

compartments (compartments 1 and 2).

• Do not select a programme with pre-

washing if you are using a detergent pod

or dispensing ball. Place the detergent

pod or the dispensing ball directly among

the laundry in the product.

• If you are using a liquid detergent, follow

the directions under “Liquid detergent

use” and do not forget to bring the liquid

detergent apparatus to the correct posi-

tion.

Choosing the Detergent type

Detergent type to be used depends on the

washing programme, fabric type and col-

our.

• Use different detergents for coloured and

white laundry.

• Wash your delicate clothes only with spe-

cial detergents (liquid detergent, wool

shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delic-

ate clothes and at suggested pro-

grammes.

• When washing dark coloured clothes and

quilts, it is recommended to use liquid

detergent.

• Wash woollens at suggested programme

with special detergent made specifically

for woollens.

• Please review the programme descrip-

tions part for suggested programme for

different textiles.

• All recommendations about detergents

are valid for selectable temperature

range of programmes.

Only detergents, softeners and ad-

ditives suitable for washing ma-

chines should be used.

Do not use soap powder.

EN / 17

Adjusting the Detergent Amount

The amount of detergent depends on the

amount of laundry, how soiled they are and

the water hardness.

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage

values on the detergent packaging in or-

der to eliminate excessive foam and poor

rinsing problems, to save money and pro-

tect the environment.

• Use less amounts of detergent for fewer

or less soiled laundry.

Using Softeners

Put the softener in the softener compart-

ment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign in

the softener compartment.

• If the softener is not fluid, dilute with wa-

ter before placing in the softener com-

partment.

WARNING

Do not use liquid detergents or

other materials with cleaning prop-

erties unless they are intended for

use in washing machines for

softening the laundry.

Using Liquid Detergents

If the Product Has a Liquid Detergent

Apparatus

• Press and rotate the apparatus at where

it is shown when you want to use liquid

detergents. The part falling below will

serve as a barrier for liquid detergent.

• Clean with water at its place or by remov-

ing from its place when it is necessary.

Do not forget to place the apparatus in

the main washing compartment (com-

partment no. “2”) after cleaning.

• The apparatus should be up if you will

use a powder detergent.

Use of Gel and Tablet Detergents

• If the detergent is fluid and there is no li-

quid detergent compartment in your

product, place the gel detergent in the

main washing detergent compartment in

first water intake. If your product has a li-

quid detergent compartment, fill the com-

partment with detergent before starting

the programme.

• If the gel detergent is not fluid or is in a

capsule liquid tablet, place directly inside

the drum before washing.

• Put the tablet detergent in the main

washing compartment (compartment no.

“2”) or directly inside the drum before

washing.

Using Starch

• Put in the liquid starch, powder starch or

fabric dye in the softener compartment.

• Do not use softener and starch in the

same washing programme simultan-

eously.

• Wipe the inside of the product with a

damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using Anti-Limescale

• When necessary, only use anti-limescale

produced for washing machines.

Using Bleach and Decolourants

• Select a programme with pre-washing

and add bleach at the start of pre-wash-

ing. Do not put detergent in the pre-wash

compartment. As an alternative applica-

tion, select a programme with additional

rinsing and add the bleach while the

product is receiving water to the deter-

gent compartment in the first rinsing

step.

• Do not mix and use bleach and detergent

together.

• As bleach may cause skin irritation use

only small amounts (1/2 tea cups - ap-

proximately 50 ml and rinse the laundry

well.

• Do not pour bleach directly onto the laun-

dry.

• Do not use bleach for coloured clothes.

EN / 18

• Select a programme with low temperat-

ure washing while using oxygen-based

decolourants.

• Oxygen-based decolourants can be used

together with detergents. However, if it

does not have the same viscosity as the

detergent, first place the detergent in

compartment no. “2” in the detergent

drawer and wait for the product to rinse

away the detergent during water intake.

Add the decolourant to the same com-

partment while the machine continues

taking in water.

5.8 Displayed Programme Duration

You can view the programme duration on

the display of your machine while selecting

a programme. Depending on the amount of

laundry you have loaded into your machine,

foaming, unbalanced load conditions, fluc-

tuations in power supply, water pressure

and programme settings, the programme

duration is automatically adjusted while the

programme is running.

SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of Cot-

tons and Cotton Eco programmes, display

shows the duration of half load. It is the

most common use case. After programme

EN / 19

starts, in 20-25 minutes actual load is de-

tected by the machine. And if the detected

load is higher than half load; washing pro-

gramme will be adjusted accordingly and

programme duration increased automatic-

ally. You can follow this change on the dis-

play.

Please read Installation section of

the manual before first use.

The auxiliary functions in the table

may vary according to the model of

your machine.

Water and energy consumption

may vary subject to the changes in

water pressure, water hardness and

temperature, ambient temperature,

type and amount of laundry, selec-

tion of auxiliary functions and spin

speed, and changes in electric

voltage.

Selection patterns for auxiliary

functions can be changed by the

manufacturer company. New selec-

tion patterns can be added or re-

moved.

The spin speed of your machine

may vary according to the pro-

gramme; this spin speed cannot ex-

ceed the max. spin speed of your

machine.

The amount of noise and humidity

varies according to the spin speed;

when the higher spin speed is se-

lected during the spinning phase,

the laundry contains less moisture

but higher noise occurs at the end

of the programme.

You can see the washing duration

on the display of your machine

while selecting a programme. De-

pending on the amount of laundry

you have loaded into your machine,

there may be a difference of 1-1.5

hours between the duration shown

on the display and the actual dura-

tion of the wash cycle. Duration will

be automatically updated soon

after the washing starts.

Always select the lowest appropri-

ate temperature. The most efficient

programmes in terms of energy

consumption are generally those

that wash at low temperatures for a

long time.

6.4 Programme Selection

1. Determine the programme suitable for

the type, quantity and soiling level of the

laundry in accordance with "Programme

and consumption table".

Programmes are limited with the

highest spin speed appropriate for

that particular type of fabric.

When selecting a programme, al-

ways consider the type of fabric,

colour, degree of soiling and per-

missible water temperature.

2. Select the desired programme with the

Programme Selection knob.

6.5 Programmes

• EnergySpin

This feature works in all programs indic-

ated by the symbol on the product

dashboard.

It ensures more effective use of your deter-

gent with high mechanical movement dur-

ing washing. Thus, it preserves your wash-

ing quality without the need to apply to heat

your laundry for a long time and reduces

your energy consumption.

• Eco 40-60

In the Eco 40-60 programme, you may

wash normally soiled cotton laundry that

are specified to be washed together at

40°C or 60°C. This programme is the stand-

ard test programme according to the EU

environmentally friendly design and energy

labelling regulations.

Although this programme washes longer

than other washing programmes, it is more

efficient in terms of energy and water con-

sumption. Actual water temperature may

be different from the stated wash temper-

ature. When you load the machine with less

laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in

programme stages may automatically get

shorter. In this way, energy and water con-

sumption would be much less.

• Cottons

You can wash your durable heavily soiled

cotton and linen laundry (sheets, bedlinen,

towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this

programme. When the quick wash function

button is pressed, programme duration be-

comes notably shorter but effective wash-

ing performance is ensured with intense

washing movements. If the quick wash

function is not selected, effective washing

and rinsing performance is ensured for

your heavily soiled laundry.

• Synthetics

You can wash your laundry (such as shirts,

blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics

etc.) in this programme. When the quick

wash function button is pressed, the pro-

gramme duration will be shortened signific-

antly and effective washing performance is

provided for your laundry that is not very

dirty. If the quick wash function is not se-

lected, effective washing and rinsing per-

formance is ensured for your heavily soiled

laundry.

• Hand Wash

Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry.

Select the appropriate temperature comply-

ing with the tag of your clothes. Your laun-

dry will be washed with a very gentle wash-

ing action in order not to damage the

clothes.

• Hygiene+

Applying a steam step at the beginning of

the programme allows to soften the dirt

easily.

Use this programme for your laundry (baby

clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear,

etc. cotton items) that requires an anti-al-

lergic and hygienic washing at high temper-

ature with intensive and long washing

cycle. The high level of hygiene is ensured

thanks to the steam application before the

programme, long heating duration and ad-

ditional rinsing step.

EN / 24

• Spin+Pump

You can use this program to remove the

water on the garment/inside the machine.

• Rinse

Use when you want to rinse or starch sep-

arately.

• Steam Refresh

Use this programme to reduce the creases

and ironing times of a small amount of un-

spotted cotton, synthetic or mixed laundry.

This is not a washing programme.

Do not add chemicals such as de-

tergent, bleach, stain remover, etc.

to the detergent drawer during this

program.

• Shirts

This programme is used to wash the shirts

made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic

blended fabrics altogether. It reduces

wrinkles. Steam is applied at the end of the

programme to help the wrinkle reducing

function. The special spin profile and

steam applied at the end of the programme

reduce the wrinkles on your shirts. When

the quick wash function is selected, the

Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.

• Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your

garments directly or add it together with

the detergent in the powder detergent

compartment. Thus, you can obtain the

same performance as you obtain with

normal washing in a much shorter period

of time. Usage life of your shirts in-

creases. Do not use pre-wash detergent

if you are planning to use delay function

of your machine. Prewash detergent may

pour out on your clothes and cause

stains.

** It is recommended to operate the cycle

with no more than 6 shirts to minimize

wrinkles in your shirts using this cycle.

When washing more than 6 shirts, there

may be differences on the wrinkle levels

and humidity on shirts at the end of cycle.

• Fast Full Load / Mini 14’

Use this programme to wash your lightly

soiled or unspotted cotton clothes in a

short time but not for towels or heavy cot-

tons. The programme duration can be re-

duced down to 14 minutes when the quick

wash function is selected. When the quick

wash function is selected, maximum 2

(two) kg of laundry must be washed.

• Drum Clean

Regularly clean (once every 1 to 2 months)

the drum for ensuring the required hygiene.

Turn on the programme when the machine

is completely empty. For better results, use

powder anti-limescale (drum cleaning ma-

terials) suitable for washing machines

when the powder detergent function is se-

lected. Leave the loading door half closed

after the programme ends for the inside of

the machine to dry.

This is not a washing programme.

This is a maintenance programme.

Do not turn this programme on

when there is something inside the

machine. When you attempt to op-

erate, the machine automatically

senses that there is load inside, and

may quit or resume the programme

as per the model of your machine.

An effective cleaning is not

achieved if the programme is re-

sumed.

• Mix

Use to wash your cotton and synthetic

clothes together without sorting them.

• 20°C

You can wash your lightly soiled cotton

laundry in this program.

• ColdWash

Use to wash your medium dirty and durable

cotton/synthetic laundry. Thanks to the

washing algorithm specially developed for

the program, effective washing is ensured

without exposing the laundry to high tem-

peratures.

EN / 25

• Stain

The machine has a special stain pro-

gramme which enables the removal of dif-

ferent types of stains in the most effective

way. Use this programme only for durable

colourfast cotton laundry. Do not wash del-

icate and pigmenting clothes and laundry in

this programme. Before washing, garment

tags should be checked (recommended for

cotton shirts, trousers, shorts, t-shirts, baby

clothes, pyjamas, aprons, table clothes, bed

sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, bath-

beach towels, towels, socks, cotton under-

wear that are suitable for washing at high

temperature and long time).

In the automatic stain programme, you can

wash 24 types of stains divided into three

different groups according to quick func-

tion selection. Depending on the selected

stain group, a special washing programme

for which duration of rinse hold, washing

action, washing and rinsing duration are

modified.

Below you can find the soil groups that

can be selected with the “Quick/Intens-

ive” setting button:

When “Intense” is selected;

Sweat, collar dirt, food, mayonnaise, salad

dressing, make-up, machine oil, baby food.

When “Quick/Intense” is not selected;

Blood, chocolate, pudding, grass, mud,

eggs, butter, curry.

When “Quick” is selected;

Tea, coffee, juice, ketchup, red wine, cola,

jam, coal

1. Select the stain programme.

2. Select the stain you want to clean by

locating it in the groups above and se-

lecting the related group with the Quick/

Intense auxiliary function button.

3. Read the garment tag carefully and en-

sure that correct temperature and spin

speed are selected.

6.6 Temperature Selection

fore starting the programme. Whenever a

programme is selected, icons of the auxili-

ary function symbol that is selected to-

gether with it illuminates.

When an auxiliary function button

that cannot be selected with the

current programme is pressed, the

washing machine will make a warn-

ing sound.

Some functions cannot be selected

together. If a second auxiliary func-

tion conflicting with the first one is

selected before starting the ma-

chine, the function selected first

will be cancelled and the second

auxiliary function selection will re-

main active.

An auxiliary function that is not

compatible with the programme

cannot be selected (See "Pro-

gramme and consumption table")

Some programmes have auxiliary

functions that must be operated

simultaneously. Those functions

cannot be cancelled.

6.8.1 Auxiliary Functions

• Express/Intensive

You can shorten or extend the programme

duration with this function. Depending on

the programme selection, there may be dif-

ferences in time increases and decreases.

In case the FAST or INTENSIVE led is not lit,

the appropriate programme duration is

shown for your normally soiled clothes/

laundry.

Depending on the programme selection, the

Intensive feature can be selected automat-

ically. In this case, the Intensive LED on the

panel will be lit. You can use the Intensive

EN / 27

selection to achieve a better washing per-

formance when washing heavily soiled

laundry.

You can reduce the time for your lightly

soiled laundry by pressing the Fast/Intens-

ive button in the programmes which come

with intense being selected. When you

press the button once, the LED will turn off

and you will reach the appropriate pro-

gramme duration for your normally soiled

clothes/laundry. When you press the same

button a second time, the fast LED will light

up, the time will decrease a little and it will

show the minimum programme duration,

which is suitable for your less soiled laun-

dry. The duration of programmes may

shorten by 50% when this function is selec-

ted. While the duration shortens, due to op-

timized washing steps, mobility and op-

timum water consumption of the high

mechanics, high washing performance is

achieved.

• Steam

This function helps to reduce the creases

of your cotton, synthetic and mixed clothes,

shorten the ironing time and remove the

dirt by softening.

* Under conditions where the steam func-

tion is applied at the end of the programme,

your laundry may be warmer at the end of

the washing. This is expected within the

programme working conditions.

When you activate the steam func-

tion, do not use liquid detergent if

there is no liquid container or liquid

detergent dosing feature. There is

the risk of staining of the clothes.

• Water Mode

This auxiliary function key allows you to se-

lect the additional functions of Water Sav-

ing, Pre-Wash, and Extra Rinse or Extra wa-

ter depending on the model of your ma-

chine. You can find detailed information

about the selection in the description of the

respective auxiliary function.

• Water Saving

Select this function by pressing the Water-

Mode additional function key once for all

programs indicated as selectable in the

Program and Consumption table.

This function is intended for lightly soiled

laundry that requires only a small amount

of detergent (see “Tips for Correct Wash-

ing”). It enables environmentally friendly

washing by reducing the amount of water

used, without compromising on washing

performance.

• Extra Rinse

You can use this function for all programs

indicated as selectable in the Program and

Consumption table. Select this function by

pressing the WaterMode key twice for pro-

grams where the additional Water Saving

function can be selected, or by pressing the

WaterMode key once for programs where

the additional Water Saving function can-

not be selected.

This function enables the product to make

additional rinsing in addition to the one

already made after the main wash. Thus,

the risk for sensitive skins (babies, allergic

skins, etc.) to be effected by the minimal

detergent remnants on the laundry can be

reduced.

6.8.2 Functions/Programmes Selec-

ted by Pressing the Function

Keys for 3 Seconds

7 Maintenance and Cleaning

Please read the “Safety Instruc-

tions” section first!

Service life of your product extends and fre-

quently experienced problems will be re-

duced if it is cleaned at regular intervals.

EN / 31

7.1 Cleaning the Detergent Drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular inter-

vals (once every 4 to 5 wash) as mentioned

below to prevent accumulation of powder

detergent.

Clean the syphon if excess amounts of wa-

ter and fabric softener mixture remains in

the softener compartment.

1. Press the marked part of the syphon

within the softener compartment and

then pull the drawer towards yourself to

take it out.

2. Lift and remove the syphon from behind

as shown.

3. Rinse drawer and syphon in the sink

with plenty of warm water. Use gloves

or suitable brush to prevent contact of

residues in the drawer with your skin.

4. Firmly fit the syphon and the drawer

back after cleaning.

7.2 Cleaning the Loading Door and

the Drum

For products with drum cleaning pro-

gramme, please see the Operating the

product section.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in

every 2 months.

NOTICE: Use an anti-limescale

suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no for-

eign substance is left in the product.

If the holes on the door gasket shown in the

figure is blocked, open the holes using a

toothpick.

Foreign metal substances will cause rust

stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the

drum surface by using cleaning agents for

stainless steel.

Never use steel wool or wire wool. These

will damage the painted, chrome coated

and plastic surfaces.

We recommend you to wipe the door gas-

ket with a dry and clean cloth at the end of

the programme. This will remove residues

on the door gasket in your machine and

prevent formation of malodours.

7.3 Cleaning the Body and Control

Panel

Wipe the body of the product with soapy

water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents

as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.

Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the

control panel. Do not use cleaning products

that contain bleach

7.4 Cleaning the Water Intake Fil-

ters

There is a filter at the end of each water in-

take valve at the rear of the product and

also at the end of each water intake hose

where they are connected to the tap. These

filters prevent foreign substances and dirt

in the water to enter the product. Filters

should be cleaned if they are dirty.

1. Close the taps.

2. Remove the nuts of the water intake

hoses to access the filters on the water

intake valves and clean them with an ap-

EN / 32

propriate brush. If the filters are too

dirty, remove them from their places

with a pliers and clean in this way.

3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of

the water intake hoses together with the

gaskets and clean thoroughly under run-

ning water.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully

and tighten their nuts by hand.

7.5 Draining Remaining Water and

Cleaning the Pump Filter

The filter system in your product prevents

solid items such as buttons, coins and fab-

ric fibres clogging the pump impeller during

draining of washing water. Thus, the water

will be drained without any problem and the

service life of the pump will extend.

If the product fails to drain water inside it,

the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be

cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3

months. Water must be drained off first to

clean the pump filter.

In addition, prior to transporting the product

(e.g., when moving to another house) water

should be drained completely.

NOTE:

Foreign substances left in the

pump filter may damage your

product or may cause noise prob-

lem.

If you live in areas prone to frost, re-

member to turn off the water tap,

disconnect the main hose, and

drain the water from the product

when it's not in use.

After each use, turn off the tap to

which the mains hose is connected.

In order to clean the dirty filter and drain

the water:

1. Unplug the product to cut off the supply

power.

Temperature of the water inside the

product may rise up to 90 ºC. To

avoid the risk of scalding, clean the

filter after the water inside the

product is cooled down.

2. Open the filter cover.

3. Follow the below procedures in order to

drain water.

If the product has an emergency water

draining hose, in order to drain the wa-

ter:

• Pull the emergency draining hose out of

its seat.

• Place the end of the hose in a large con-

tainer. Drain the water into the container

by pulling out the plug at the end of the

hose. When the container is filled, close

the end of the hose with the plug. Drain

all water by repeating the procedure spe-

cified above after draining the container.

• When the water drain is finished, close

the end with the plug again and fix the

hose in its place.

• Unscrew the pump filter.

1. Clean any residues inside the filter as

well as fibres, if any, around the pump

impeller region.

2. Replace the filter.

3. If the filter cap is composed of two

pieces, close the filter cap by pressing

on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the

tabs in the lower part into their places

first, and then press the upper part to

close.

Does Blomberg offer replacements?

This is a repair-only guarantee. On occasion, the Manufacturer may at its sole discretion,

replace your product with a new product instead of carrying out a repair. Where a replace-

ment is offered, this would normally be an identical model but when this is not possible, a

model of similar specification will be provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and

arrange for the delivery of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs

related to disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will not

be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The original guarantee

will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new product will not come with a

new guarantee.

When will the repair take place?

Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside these

hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but cannot be guaran-

teed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize inconvenience and to meet requests

for specific timed appointments, this cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays

or if it is unable to carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be ar-

ranged.

Will there be any charge for the repairs?

It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your product is covered by

this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for

the reasonable cost of any service call if:

• You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.

EN / 40

• Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with

your product.

• That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User In-

structions Booklet.

• That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective compon-

ents or manufacturing defects.

• For missed appointments.

Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you with an in-

voice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the guarantee if you fail to pay the

costs for the service call in a timely manner.

If you are a resident of the United Kingdom, this guarantee will be governed by English law

and subject to the English Courts, save where you live in another part of the United King-

dom, in which case the law and courts of that location will apply.

If you are resident in the Republic of Ireland, this guarantee will be governed by Irish law

and the Irish courts will have jurisdiction.
