Notes on inlet hose safety system (delivery scope depending on model)
The safety system consists of a double-walled inlet hose. It guarantees to cut off the water supply when leakage of the inner hose. Switching off the water supply leads over an electronic contact.
If necessary, you can order an inlet hose safety system from your dealer or in our online accessories shop, www.bomann-germany.de. To order, use the reference number found under “Technical Data”.

Connect the water inlet hose (cold water connection)
NOTE:
The water pressure must be between 0.1-1.0 MPa.
With higher pressure: use a pressure regulator.

• Connect the water inlet hose to a water thread with ¾“. Screw the hose firmly in the direction of the screw thread; pay attention for a tight fit.
• Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the inlet valve on the appliance back; pay attention for a tight fit too.

Connect the water drain hose
NOTE:
The drain hose has a length of approx. 1.5 m and, contrary to the recommendation, could be extended to a maximum of 4 m with a suitable hose connector.
CAUTION:
To prevent backflow of contaminated water, the free end of the hose must not come under the water levelof the drain.

• Connect the drain hose to a drain pipe with a minimum diameter of 40 mm; alternatively, the drain hose can be fixed to a sink or directly to thdrainage.
• Always make sure that the hose is not bent or squeezed. For this purpose, use the delivered hose retaining bend (a).
•  The hose must be installed at a height of min. 700 mm and max. 1250 mm above the floor.
•  Secure the hose securely to avoid a change in position and with it a water leakage.

Startup / operation

Prior using for the first time

• Make sure that all transport securing devices has been removed.
• Remove the accessories and any material from the drum.
• Allow the appliance to wash the first time without any laundry, with the addition of some detergent (approx. 30 ml) in the program [Drum Clean] (see “Starting the program”).

Preparation of clothes

CAUTION

• Do not wash any items that are declared as nonwashable. Always follow the instructions on the care label of your laundry.
• Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, alcohol, or solvents.
• Foreign objects (e. g. nails, coins) can cause damage to garments and components.

• Check the pockets of all garments on content and empty them completely.
• Sort your fabrics by color and the symbols contained on the care label. Separate white and colored laundry. All new colored clothes should be washed separately.
• Turn buttons and embroidery inside.
• Close zippers, buttons and hooks before washing. Tie any loose straps and loops.
• Wash bras e. g. in a pillowcase to prevent leakage of the steel bracket.
• Particularly delicate fabrics such as curtains, crochet or small items (socks, handkerchiefs, neckties, etc.) should be washed in a closed bag.
• Remove always all the hooks from curtains.
• Washing large and heavy parts such as bath towels, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with the spinning cycle.
• The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise, the other articles can be stained with dust and thrum etc. Prefera- bly, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed separately because they can easily get stained with the thrums of other colors when being washed together.
• Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the clothes.
• For spot removing heavy soiling the laundry can be treated with a special prewash spray. Follow the operating instructions of the product packaging.

Select proper detergent

CAUTION:
Always consider the dosage and storage recommendations on the sales packaging.
WARNING:
Keep detergent and additives out of reach for children!

•  Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing machines according to type of fabric (cotton, synthetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise foaming can cause overflowing.
• Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing, preferably does not use bleach.
• Detergents often leave residue in the clothes, which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
• Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely if there is too much detergent or water temperature is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes and washing machines to pollute the clothes.
• Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty degrees, local water hardness as well as the recommendations from the detergent manufacturers. Consult the water company if you are not clear of water hardness.

• When washing heavily soiled whites, we recommend using cotton programs of 60°C or above and a normal washing powder (heavy duty) that contains bleaching agents that at medium/high temperatures provide excellent results.
• For washes between 40°C and 60°C, the type of detergent used needs to be appropriate for the type of fabric and level of soiling. Normal powders are suitable for „white“ or color fast fabrics with high soiling, while liquid detergents or „color protecting“ powders are suitable for colored fabrics with light levels of soiling.
• For washing at temperatures below 40°C we recommend the use of liquid detergents or deter- gents specifically labelled as suitable for low tem- perature washing.

Detergent dispenser

CAUTION:
The detergent drawer is designed exclusively for the use of detergents for washing machines!

NOTE:

• Always add the detergent powder just before starting the wash cycle, otherwise it could get damp and will not dissolve properly.
•  Recommendation: Do not use liquid detergents when the program start delay is activated.
• At the end of the wash cycle the drawer must be empty.

I Chamber for the prewash or soaking cycle. Detergent for the prewash or soak is added at the beginning of the wash program.
II Chamber for main wash cycle with powder or liquid detergent.
Chamber for detergent additives (fabric softener, starch). Follow the manufacture’s dosage recommendations. Do not exceed the MAX mark!

Foam detection
Excessive foam forms when too much detergent is used. This affects the wash and rinse cycle. The  function automatically checks foaming; excessive foam is removed by an extra rinse and spin cycle.
Fill in the laundry

• Unravel the clothes before putting them into the machine.
•  Each load should correspond to the nominal ca-pacity of the appliance. Do not overload the appliance. Different strengths, sizes and types of laundry can affect the actual loading capacity. It is advisable to load the appliance just that a normal circulation during washing is possible.

General information to the program table!

• The program „Eco 40-60“ is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry washable at 40°C-60°C, together in the same cycle. The program is used to check compliance with EU eco design legislation.
• The most efficient programs in terms of energy and water consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
•  Loading the household washing machine or household washing-dryer up to the capacity specified for the respective programs helps saving energy and water.
• Noise emissions and residual moisture are influenced by the spin speed: the higher the spin speed in the spin cycle, the higher the noise emissions and the lower the residual moisture.
