This button should be used to start the chosen wash
program. When the button is pressed, the appliance will begin the
cycle within a few seconds. You can also press this button to pause
a wash cycle in progress and continue after. When a program is
selected, wait for the STOP light to flash before pressing the

hours. See the section “Delay start feature” for instructions.
Pre-wash button
This option is useful for heavily soiled loads and can be
used only on some programs.
Extra rinse button
This button will program the machine to add an additional
rinse to the cycle. This function is ideal for people with sensitive
skin as it removes more of the detergent from washing. It is
advisable to use this function for very dirty loads where extra
detergent has been used. This option can be used only on some
programs.
Anti-crease button
Use this button to select the anti-crease function. This will
minimise creases in mixed fabrics, delicate fabrics and woollens and
silk. It works in the following ways:
Fabric
(according to
program
selected)
Process
Mixed fabrics The water is gradually cooled throughout the final
2 rinses with no spinning and then a delicate spin
assures the maximum relaxation of the fabrics.
Delicate fabrics The final 2 rinses are carried out with no spinning
and then the fabrics are left in water until it is
time to unload. When you are ready to unload,
press the anti-crease button (G) to drain.
Woollens / silk After the final rinse the fabrics are left in water
until it is time to unload. When you are ready to
unload, press the anti-crease button (G) to drain
and spin.

ne.
The spin cycle is important to remove as much water as possible
from the laundry without damaging the fabrics. You can adjust the
spin speed of the machine to reduce the maximum speed. The
machine is fitted with an imbalance control system to cancel the
spin cycle if the load is unbalanced. This reduces the noise and
vibration in the machi
You can rotate the dial to this symbol to select “No Spin”.
Wash temperature control knob
This control knob enables you to
reduce, but not increase, the
washing cycle temperature. Please
refer to the program table for
information on the maximum
temperature advised for each wash
cycle.
Door open button
A safety device prevents the door from being opened
immediately after the end of the cycle. You should wait for 2
minutes after the program has finished and ensure the door
security light on the cycle progress indicator has gone out before
opening the door. If the door is not closed, the indicator will
continue to flash.
Wash program selection knob
This control knob allows you to
select the wash program of your
choice. You can rotate the knob in
both directions.
Detergent drawer
Pre wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it, if you are going
to select a wash program that has a pre wash as part of it.
Main wash section
This compartment should have detergent placed in it (you should also
put a water softening agent in this section, if you use one). The
detergent will be added to the drum at the start of the main wash
program.
12
Conditioner section
This compartment should be used for liquid conditioners (fabric
softener, starch). They will be added to the wash load during the final
rinse.
Preparing the wash cycle
Preparing your garments for washing
o Your washing should be sorted out, according to
the fabric type and the wash care symbol that is
printed on the garment’s wash care label. (See
separate section on wash care symbols).
o Your washing should also be sorted out
according to the degree of soiling.
o Check all pockets on a garment to make sure
that they are empty.
o Remove any detachable metal items (badges,
paperclips, safety pins etc).
o Zips should be closed, duvet covers and pillow cases should be
buttoned up and any loose straps should be tied up. This will
help to prevent other garments from getting damaged during the
wash.
o Woollens and knitted coloured fabrics should be turned inside out
before being washed in the appliance.
o Small delicate items (tights, baby socks) should be placed in
either a washing net or a zipped pillow case.
o Curtains should be handled with particular care. All plastic hooks
or metal strips must be removed before being washed in the
appliance.
13
o Coloured items and whites should be washed
in separate wash cycles.
o New garments often contain an excess of
dye, therefore it is advisable to wash them separately for their
first wash.
o Garments should be unfolded and shook out before being placed
inside the machine.

o The wash care symbols should be used to help you to select the
most suitable wash program. They will also help you to sort your
laundry into different loads, depending on the fabric type and the
highest temperature which the garment can be washed at.
o If the wash care label does not appear in the above table, then
please refer to the washing machine program chart. This gives
more detailed descriptions of the types of fabric that are suitable
to be washed using a particular wash program.
14
Detergents and conditioners
The amount of detergent that you need to use in your appliance, will
depend on
o The degree of soiling. Lightly soiled garments in general
require less detergent.
o The size of the wash load. A smaller wash load will require a
reduction in the amount of detergent.
o The hardness of your tap water. The harder your water is,
then the more detergent you will need to use. The detergent
manufacturers normally give guidance as to how much extra
detergent should be used, depending on the hardness of the
water.
Liquid detergent
If you are using liquid detergent, then in the majority of cases the
liquid should be placed inside the dosing device supplied by the
detergent manufacturer. All instructions on the detergent packaging
should be followed.
Water softening agents
If your tap water is hard, then it may be prudent to utilise a water
softening agent. This will help to ensure that the appliance does not
become clogged with hard water deposits. You may also find that it will
allow you to lessen the amount of detergent that you are using.
When using any detergent or water softening
agent, the recommendations of the
manufacturers should be followed.

o The washing machine requires an aperture of the size given in
the diagram on the previous page.
o Place the washing machine on a solid and level floor surface.
o DO NOT PLACE THE WASHING MACHINE ON A CARPET.
o The feet are adjustable to ensure that the appliance is level. This
is essential for quiet operation.
o Slacken off the lock nut on each
of the washing machine feet
using a spanner.
o Adjust the feet to level off the
washing machine.
o Once levelled correctly, you should tighten the lock nut back up
on each of the washing machine feet using a spanner.
IMPORTANT: When the washing machine is positioned in the location
where it will be used. Make sure that all four feet are resting firmly on
the floor, by pressing down on each corner and checking that the
appliance stands still.
Fitting the décor door
o The front of the appliance has been drilled to accommodate the
hinges to enable the door to be opened from the left or right
hand side.
o The following instructions demonstrate how to fit a standard
height décor door with dummy drawer.
o You will need these
screws to complete
the fitting.
31
o Screw the hinges onto the décor door (A) then fasten the
dummy drawer front to the top edge of the door. Ensure that the
gap between the door and drawer front matches the units on
either side.
o Fasten the magnetic catch (B) using screw (C) to the décor
door.
o Fasten the magnetic catch striker plate (D) to the front of the
appliance, placing the rubber washer (E) under the plate and
screw in place with screws (G).
o Snap mount the plastic cover cap (H) into the lower hinge
position.
32
o Mount the door and hinges to the front of the appliance using
screws (L).
o IMPORTANT: It is recommended that, where possible, the
décor door is hinged on the same side as the appliance
door as this will give greater space to load and unload the
washing.
Connecting to the mains water supply
o Connect and fully tighten the inlet hose to the threaded inlet
valve that is located at the rear of the washing machine. You
should connect the end with the right angle connector on it to
the back of your appliance.
o Connect the other end of the inlet hose to
your mains water supply. This machine only
uses cold water therefore only one hose is
needed to connect to the cold water supply.
DO NOT CONNECT TO A HOT WATER
SUPPLY.
o Tighten the inlet hose to your mains supply
fully.
o Test for any leaks.
33
Water outlet
o Secure the drain hose, so that it cannot move whilst the washing
machine is in use.
o Place the end of the drain hose on your drain pipe. Push it a
short way down into your drain pipe.
o IMPORTANT: Do not insert the drain hose too deeply into the
water pipe, as this may cause siphoning.
o NEVER EXTEND THE DRAINAGE HOSE FROM ITS ORIGINAL
LENGTH.
o For the washing machine to function properly, the end of the
discharge hose must be at a minimum of 50 cm and a maximum
of 85 cm from the ground.
34
Power supply
o IMPORTANT: As your appliance is a built in product, the
electrical socket must still be accessible once the
appliance is installed.
o Consult the rating plate, located on the inner rim of the porthole
door of the appliance BEFORE making the electrical connections.
Ensure that the voltage reaching the plug is the same as that on
the rating plate.
o DO NOT REMOVE THE RATING PLATE AS THE
INFORMATION ON IT IS IMPORTANT.
o The moulded plug that is supplied with the appliance must be
placed into an earthed and insulated socket.
o Broken or damaged power leads must only be replaced by a
suitably qualified person. A power lead of a similar type must be
used in replacement.
o Power lead type – H 0 V V – F 3G 1,5.
o IMPORTANT: We do not recommend that this appliance is
connected to an extension lead.
Before first use maintenance wash
o When your washing machine has been correctly installed, we
recommend that you perform a maintenance wash cycle.
o This will check that all aspects of the installation are correct; it
will also remove any deposits that may have been left in the
drum by the manufacturing process.
35
o Select the Cotton 90°C wash program.
o A small quantity of detergent should be used during this
maintenance wash.
IMPORTANT: If your appliance appears not to be
operating correctly, then you should disconnect it
from your mains supply and then contact
Baumatic Customer Care on telephone number
(0118) 933 6911.
