Makes the difference Instructions for the use and care of your BCW106 Washing machine 124985920
YOUR NEW WASHING MACHINE Your new washing machine is part of Blanco’s Jet-System range, which meets all requirements for modern handling of laundry with reduced consumption of water, energy and detergent. It is very economical with small loads of laundry, since water and electricity consumption is proportional to the quantity of laundry being washed. ■ The automatic cooling of the washing water from 95°C to 60°C before draining will prevent plastic drain pipes from being deformed.

INSTALLATION Unpacking Before starting the machine up, the packing must be removed as follows. You are advised to keep all the packaging for reuse in case the machine has to be transported again. Using a spanner unscrew and remove the rear right bolt. Lay the machine gently on its back, making sure that the hoses are not squashed. P0255 Remove the polystyrene blocks from underneath the machine. Release the two polythene bags by removing the adhesive strip.
Positioning The appliance has two inlet hoses, hot and cold, with female 3/4” BSP thread connectors. If this connection is not compatible with the plumbing of the existing installation, a variety of connectors are available from good hardware stores and plumbers merchants to suit most domestic plumbing. Any alteration to your existing plumbing must be carried out by a competent person, or qualified plumber. Water inlet The inlets on the back of the appliance are colour coded, blue for cold and red for hot.
Water drainage If the machine is permanently plumbed in, hook the end of the drain hose into a standpipe installed for the purpose. The standpipe must have an internal diameter of at least 40 mm (1 1/2") in order that there is an air gap between the drain hose and the standpipe. Make sure, that it is designed in such a way, that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. The drain hose may be extended to a maximum of 4 metres.
Note Please ensure that when the appliance is installed it is easily accessible for the engineer in the event of a breakdown. All plumbing and electrical work required to install this appliance must be carried out by competent persons or qualified plumbers or electricians. Electrical connection Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that: 1. the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage given in the technical specifications; 2.

i Washing hints Do NOT overload the machine. Weigh the laundry the first few times you use the appliance. The average weights of the most common items are listed below as a guide: ■ Use a good quality detergent suitable for automatic washing machines. ■ Use the correct quantities of detergent. ■ For wool, use gentle detergent only in small quantities. ■ Bleach is very corrosive; it should be used with care and kept out of reach of children. ■ Some stains such as fruit, wine, grass, rust etc.
ENERGETIC PROGRAMMES FOR COTTON AND LINEN Maximum load: 5 kg Progr./Temp.
GENTLE PROGRAMMES FOR SYNTHETICS, MIXED FIBRES, DELICATES AND WOOLLENS Maximum load: 2 kg, woollens: 1 kg Progr./Temp.
Which detergent to use?.... LOW SUDS For most clothes and household textiles, CONVENTIONAL DETERGENTS will give good washing results. Conventional detergents are available in either a biological, or a non-biological form, and are particularly suitable for whites. Biological detergents provide improved stain removal, especially at lower temperatures.
i Wash Care Symbols Wash care labels inside garments recommend how to launder your clothes with the best results. The symbols used make it easy to select the correct programme on your washing machine. WASHING SYMBOL WASH ACTION 95 Normal (Maximum) White Cotton or Linen without Special Finishes 60 Normal (Maximum) Cotton, Linen or Viscose without Special Finishes Colourfast at 60°C. 50 Reduced (Medium) Nylon, Polyester/Cotton, Viscose with Special Finishes, Cotton/Acrylic Mix.
USING YOUR MACHINE Washing 5 kg of white cotton at 95°C Suppose you have 5 kg of normally dirty laundry to wash. It is white cotton and is suitable for high temperature washing. 1. Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch outward. Load the items one at a time and close the door. 2. Measure out the detergent Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer from the control panel. Measure out the amount of detergent required and pour into the main wash compartment.
Washing 2 kg of synthetic fabrics at 60°C Suppose you have 2 kg of synthetic fabrics to wash. They are rather delicate fabrics and should not be washed at a high temperature. 1. Load the laundry Open the door by pulling the catch outward. Load the items one at a time and close the door. 2. Measure out the detergent Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer from the control panel. Measure out the amount of detergent required and pour into the main wash compartment.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Before any maintenance or cleaning is carried out you must DISCONNECT the appliance from the electricity supply. Descaling The water we normally use contains lime. It is a good idea to periodically use a water softening powder in the machine. Do this separately from any laundry washing, and according to the softening powder manufacturer's instructions. This will help to prevent the formation of lime deposits. After each wash Leave the door open for a while.
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.
