User manual TRICITY BW650

[. . . ] I A programme without prewash is sufficient for normally soiled laundry. I Try to load the maximum drying capacity of the machine as small loads are uneconomical. The higher the spin speed, the lower the electricity consumption and the shorter the drying times. I I Materials marked with the symbol are recyclable. Check with your local Council or Environmental Health Office to see if there are facilities in your area for re-cycling this appliance. [. . . ] Drying at high temperature Drying at reduced temperature Do not tumble dry Important: As a dryer, the machine works on the condensation principle. Therefore, the water taps must be open and the drain hose must drain water into a sink or into the drain pipe, even during the drying cycle. 16 Which detergent?. . . . To ensure you obtain the best wash results from your appliance, it is important to use the right detergent in your everyday wash, and only detergents recommended for use in automatic machines. To maintain the appearance of your clothes and household textiles and to make them last longer you should use different types of detergent for different washes, whether for whites, colours or delicates. And in which form? Not only are there different types of detergent, but they are also available in different forms. Whether you chose a powder or liquid in traditional or compact form is to your personal choice. TRADITIONAL POWDERS Pour the powder directly into the dispenser drawer. Do not sprinkle powder onto clothes in the machine drum. WHITES We recommend the Ariel product range which is biological and designed to provide excellent cleaning and stain removal even at low temperatures. TRADITIONAL LIQUIDS Liquid can be placed in the main wash compartment of the detergent drawer marked with the symbol , start the machine immediately upon placing the detergent in the dispenser drawer. Alternatively the detergent is measured into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. NON BIOLOGICAL If you prefer to use a non biological detergent, which does not contain enzymes we recommend Fairy. Fairy provides good cleaning and stain removal. COMPACT POWDERS AND LIQUIDS Compact detergents (or concentrates as they are also known) are available in liquid or powder form, and generally require a smaller dosage. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure the most economical usage. Pour the detergent directly into the dispenser drawer, or alternatively measure the detergent into the specially designed dosing device* which should be placed on top of the laundry, and at the back of the machine drum. * If you use a dosing device in a washer dryer, please ensure the dosing device/ball is removed before carrying out a drying programme. COLOUREDS For coloured items you should use a detergent which is designed to clean while maintaining the original colour. Ariel Color does not contain bleach and therefore helps to preserve colours. DELICATE ITEMS When washing delicates such as woollens, you should use a product which is specially designed to care for fine fabrics. To aid cleaning, the top part of the additive compartment should be removed. C0023 C0027 Cleaning the drawer recess Having removed the drawer, use a small brush to clean the recess, ensuring that all washing powder residue is removed from the upper and lower part of the recess. Replace the drawer and run the rinse programme for a few minutes without any clothes in the drum. P0038 19 Cleaning the filter The water drain filter A clean filter is important for the correct functioning of the machine, and should therefore be cleaned after every washing programme. Open the filter door and place a container underneath to catch any spillage. If the filter is blocked and the machine is unable to drain you will need to drain the water manually from the machine at this stage. To do this, unhook the drain hose from the standpipe or sink and hold the end of the hose over a bowl on the floor. Clean carefully under a fast running tap. P0011 P0132 Warning When the appliance is in use and depending on the programme selected there can be hot water in the filter. Never remove the filter during a wash cycle, always wait until the appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty. When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely retightened so as to stop leaks and young children being able to remove it. P0133 P0040 The water inlet filters If your water is very hard or contains traces of lime deposit, the water inlet filters may become clogged. Tighten up the inlet hoses. The dangers of freezing If the machine is exposed to temperatures below 0°C, certain precautions should be taken. I Unhook the drain hose from the rear support and position the end of this hose and that of the inlet hoses in a bowl. I When you intend to start the machine up again, make sure that the room temperature is above 0°C. Maintenance Wash With the use of low temperature washes it is possible to get a build up of residues inside the drum. [. . . ] When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90cm (35. 4'') and no less than 60cm (23. 6'') above floor level. The upright standpipe should have a minimum length of 30cm (12'') from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. An additional drain hose and joining piece is available from your local Service Force Centre.
