Your BDW1300W’s Control Panel
Key to above figure:
P – Programme Selector
Turn this knob to select a washing programme, depending on the
dirtiness of your laundry. To set the programme, firstly ensure that
your appliance is OFF (i.e., the position of the ‘ON/OFF’ button is
out) and turn the knob clockwise until the needle points to the mark
matching the programme you want to use.
T- Temperature Selector
This knob adjusts the washing temperature so you can select the most
suitable programme for the fabrics to be washed.
A temperature equal to or lower than that indicated in the PROGRAMME
TABLE (SEE PAGES 13-14) can be chosen. To select the temperature, just
turn the knob until it is lined up with the corresponding marker.

6
S – Drying time selector
This knob adjusts the drying time according to the weight and type of
material. See the notes below for guidance.
 Resistant materials drying : A drying cycle can be selected at the end
of the washing cycle for all available programmes for cotton by using this
knob to select the required position as indicated in the PROGRAMME TABLE
(SEE PAGES 13-14).
 Delicate materials drying : In the same way, a low temperature drying
cycle can be selected at the end of the washing cycle for all available
programmes for synthetic materials by using this knob.
NEVER DRY WOOLLENS IN A DRYER!
A – Rinse and Hold Push-Button
Pressing this button IN will make the wash cycle of the synthetic and
wool programmes stop during the last rinse with the drum still full of
water.
Use this setting to prevent creasing in certain fabrics which
need to be drip-dried.
NOTE: To end the cycle, press the button again so that it is
OUT.
C – No Spin Push-button
Pressing this button IN will activate the programme so that there is no
spin on any selected washing programme.
Use this setting for certain types of delicate fabrics.

7
R – 550 / 1000 – 1200 – 1300 rpm Push-Button
Selects the spin speed of last minutes of the cotton programmes.
Pushing the Button OUT will make the spin speed go through a 1000 – 1200
– 1300 rpm cycle.
Pushing the Button IN will reduce the spin speed to 550 rpm for this cycle.
X – ON / OFF Push-button
Pushing the button IN (ON position) will START your washer-dryer so that it
will begin a selected washing cycle through to the end of that programme
(when programme selector knob –
P - points to ‘STOP’). Pushing this button
again (so that it is OUT) will turn your washing machine OFF.
Y – Extra Rinse Push-button
Pushing this button IN will use more water in the rinse. Because of this, you
should only use it when washing bigger loads. Leave it OFF for half-loads or
less in order to conserve water.
L – Pilot Lamp
When lit, this indicates that your machine is switched on. It also stays on at the
end of each programme and when the door lock is not activated.
*NOTE: Your Washing Machine has soft-touch buttons. You
only need to press these lightly to operate your appliance.

Cautions & advice about using your washer-dryer
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your
washer-dryer, please ensure you follow the instructions given below:
9Select the clothes load correctly and choose the appropriate programme.
9Before opening the door, check that there is no water in the machine
and the pilot light is off.
9Put the washing products in the right proportion and in the right compartment.
9Small garments such as socks, belts, etc. are best put inside a bag to
avoid their being lost.
9Before putting clothes into the washing machine, make sure that there is
nothing in the pockets (coins, buttons, clips, etc.) and that the zips are
undone.
9If your machine has a filter, you should check regularly that it is clean &
not blocked. Be especially wary of coins, brassiere wire & fluff/hair.
9The interior of the washer-dryer should be handled by specialists only. NEVER
attempt to repair or modify it yourself.
9After each wash, leave the door ajar to prevent the rubber seal from
becoming misshapen or mouldy.
9When the clothes to be washed are heavily soiled or splattered with mud, it is
advisable to run a programme with pre-wash.
9Unless doing half-load washing, always put the machine on fully loaded
to save energy.
9Do not use the dryer function if the clothes have been treated with any non-
aqueous solution.
9Do not use the dryer function for items containing any kind of spongy rubber or
similar elastomer materials.
9The washer-dryer must be installed in a well-ventilated place, away
from the influence of gases from other appliances and from
defective installations.
9The lower ventilation, between the floor and the base of the machine must not
be obstructed (by carpet, cloths, etc.).
9When the machine has just been installed, or after a long time without
its being used, it is advisable to run a washing programme with the
machine empty, to eliminate any rusty water in the tubes.

9
Before Using your BWD1300
NOTE: (*VERY IMPORTANT*) – You must
ensure that the transportation bolts
have been removed before you attempt
to use your Washing Machine,
OTHERWISE you will damage or
destroy your appliance. See page 27
for instructions.
Only once you are sure this has been done can you do
the following:
1) Plug in your machine
2) Turn on the water supply
Note on using your
Washer-Dryer for
the first time:
There may be
water left inside
your machine
after factory tests
and trials.
•The first time you run a
wash cycle, you should not
put laundry in your machine
as it may need to drain water.
•Pour half a measuring cup of
normal or all purpose detergent
into compartment 2 ( ) in your
detergent dispenser and select a
short washing programme (without
pre-wash).
•Start the programme.
•Wait until the programme finishes.
*FOR NORMAL USE, SEE NEXT PAGE

10
Before Loading your
Washer-Dryer
NOTE: Before putting the clothes into the machine:
oSeparate the clothes into 3 lots (cotton,
synthetics and wool).
9Within each group, separate the coloureds from
the whites. *NOTE – see next page for tips.
9Once the clothes have been separated, you can
put them into the drum of the washing machine,
separately and according to colour and group,
loose, piece by piece. Do not exceed the
maximum weight of clothes as given below:
Cotton Maximum: 5.5 kg
Synthetics Maximum: 2.75 kg
Wool Maximum: 1 kg
HOW TO
OPEN THE
DOOR
Pressing the hidden
lever (1) with the
index and middle
fingers, pull
outwards.
oLoad your clothes inside the drum one item at a
time and spread them about well.
oShut the door of your machine, being careful
that no pieces of clothing are jammed between
the door and the gasket seal. Make sure the door
is closed tightly otherwise appliance won’t work.

11
Tips for loading your laundry:
:Never wash
your white
and
coloured
clothes
together.
ÂSince your
new
coloured
clothes may
shed dye on
the first
wash,
wash them
separately.
ÂBe careful that
no metal
pieces are in
the pockets of
your clothes.
There is the
chance of rust
residues
coming off and
causing stains.
ÂZip-up and
button your
clothes.
ÂRemove the
plastic or metal
hooks of curtains
or place them
inside a washing
bag and tie.
ÂPull textiles
like trousers,
knitted fabric, T-
shirts and
sweatshirts inside
out.
ÂWash small
clothes like socks
and handkerchiefs
in a washing bag.
(PLEASE SEE THE CHART BELOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR WASHING LABELS)
WASHING LABELS & THEIR MEANINGS

12
Filling your Washer-Dryer’s
Dispenser Drawer with Detergent
•‘HOW MUCH DETERGENT SHOULD I USE?’
•NOTE: You will need more detergent for washing
cycles containing dirtier clothes.
oFor very dirty clothes, select a
programme with pre-washing,
fill compartment 1 with ¼ of
the amount of the detergent
you are putting in
compartment 2.
oFor clothes that are only slightly
dirty, do not pre-wash and put only
a small amount of detergent into
compartment 2 in your washing
machine’s dispenser drawer.
* CAUTION: Only use detergents for automatic washing
machines. The amount needed for different washing loads and
types will be written on the packaging of your detergent.
The harder the water in your area, the more detergent you will need
to use.
SOFTENERS
9Fill the softener compartment in your detergent drawer with softener. Do
not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing
water through the siphon. Dilute high density softeners first.
FLUID DETERGENTS
9You can use fluid detergents in all programmes without pre-washing. For this,
move the fluid detergent level plate in the second compartment of the
detergent drawer and pour in the amount of fluid detergent according to the
levels on this plate.

Tips on washing your clothes.
Dirtiness
Sort the clothes according to
dirtiness. Give special
treatment to those which are
very dirty or have got difficult
stains.
Treat very dirty areas like
collars and cuffs before
washing.
Wash clothes that are only
slightly dirty in short
programmes. In this way,
you will save energy as well
as get better results.
Wash averagely dirty clothes
in a normal wash programme.
Wash very dirty clothes in a
Long Programme with a
Prewash.
Sensitivity
Certain clothes, either because of their
fabric or the way they are made, may
be sensitive to the action of your
machine. When washing them, it is
best to use DELICATE PROGRAMMES.
You can wash woollen garments( ) in
the SPECIAL WOOL PROGRAMME. Make
sure, first of all, that your woollens are
washable.
Do NOT use the Half Load option with
wool and synthetic programmes.
The Rinse and Hold button only
operates in the synthetic and in the
wool programmes.
Only use BLEACH with white cotton
materials. Bleach must be non-
concentrated for use in washing
machines and must be added in the
correct part of the soap drawer.
Running your Washer-Dryer
Programme Selection and Features
Select the programme that’s right for the clothes you want to
wash according to the Table on the previous page.
THE PROGRAMME KNOB
With this knob, you select
the programme you’d like to
wash your clothes with. You
adjust the programme by
turning the knob until the
marker points exactly to the
washing programme you want.
*NOTE: If you turn the Programme Knob to the STOP position while your
machine is running, you will end the washing cycle prematurely.

16
Starting a Washing Programme
•Adjust the PROGRAMME KNOB to a programme you want to run
•Adjust the TEMPERATURE
KNOB (pictured at right) to the
temperature at which you want to
wash your laundry. NOTE: You
cannot select a higher
temperature using this knob than
the temperature of the washing
programme you have selected
with the programme knob.
•The ‘PROGRAM READY’ light will come on.
oIf you want, you can select one or more additional
functions at this point (Rinse & Hold / No Spin / 550-
1300 / On-Off)
And then…
•Run the programme which you have selected by pressing the
‘ON/OFF’ button.
Note:
•The button will be depressed on the console.
•The ‘ON’ light will come on .
•The door safety mechanism will engage at this time.
WARNING – DO NOT INSERT ANY KIND OF PLASTIC
CONTAINER FOR DETERGENTS IN THE DRUM. THE DRYER
COULD MELT THIS AND CAUSE DAMAGE!
Interrupting a Programme
You can interrupt a programme at any time by pressing the
‘ON/OFF’ button. Simply do this and wait two minutes if you
have to add or remove garments. Caution: Be careful that the
water level inside the drum is not too high and that the
temperature is not very hot – scalding and /or flooding hazard!
To resume, once you have re-closed the door, simply press the
‘ON/OFF’ button once again. The programme will pick up where it
had left off.

17
At the end of a Washing
Programme
NOTE : YOU CAN ONLY SET YOUR APPLIANCE TO WASH
AND DRY A WASHLOAD BEFORE A WASHING CYCLE IF YOU
HAVE SET A HALF-LOAD PROGRAMME AND ARE WASHING
A HALF LOAD OF LAUNDRY.
CAUTION: YOU CANNOT DEFEAT THIS RESTRICTION
BY PLACING A FULL LOAD IN YOUR APPLIANCE’S DRUM
AND SELECTING THE HALF LOAD FUNCTION FROM THE
CONTROL PANEL.
Provided the programme completes without
interruptions, you can open the loading door 2
minutes after it has completed. Take out your
clothes. If you have just washed a full load,
take out half of the laundry in the drum if you
intend to use a drying cycle, being mindful of
the fabric type/s you are about to dry.
YOUR DRYER
The drying section of the washer-dryer operates like
any other by blowing heated air onto wet clothes. This air
is then extracted from the machine.
In your washer-dryer, the moisture-laden air is blown
over cold water which causes the moisture to condense. It
is then pumped out of the machine. Therefore, it is
important that the machine is turned on and the drain
hose is correctly located during the drying cycle.
IMPORTANT: The appliance can be used
just as a tumble dryer but remember that the
cold water tap must be turned on and the drain
pipe must be in position.

18
TO USE THE DRYER:
1) Place or leave a maximum of 2kgs of clothes in the drum of
your appliance.
2) Select the required heat level either on FULL HEAT for normal
fabrics or HALF HEAT for delicates.
3) Turn the dryer timer to
the required time. Note
the knob can be set up to
a maximum of 140
minutes but we suggest
that you select a lower
time of approximately
30/40 minutes firstly.
You can check if the
laundry is dry and, if not,
add more minutes as
needed to prevent your
clothes from being over-
dried.
4) *Press the half-load button and make sure that the ‘No
Spin’ button has NOT been pressed.*
5) Press the ON/OFF button.
NOTE: At the end of the drying cycle, there is a 10 minute
cool down period. This will minimise creasing due to
allowing the fabric to cool down gently.
WARNING!
During the wash and drying cycles, the glass porthole in
the door will become hot so keep children away. NEVER
USE THE DRYER WITH A PLASTIC DETERGENT
DISPENSING CUP IN THE DRUM.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Do not dry clothes containing
plastic, foam or rubbery materials. Do not dry clothes in
the dryer that have not been cleaned in a water solution.
REMEMBER NOT TO DRY WOOL IN YOUR DRYER!

19
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Please note: Disconnect the power supply before
attempting maintenance or cleaning your washing machine.
Cleaning the outlet filter.
If you are using the drying feature on your appliance, you
will need to clean this out after every 3-4 washes. If you
have been drying clothes that will leave a lot of fluff or lint,
you will then need to clean this filter out after each such
cycle.
If, however, you have only been using the washing function, you should then clean this
filter after every 25 washing cycle programmes to keep the drain pump running
efficiently (this will enable more efficient washing and rinsing).
* NOTE: If you do not fit the filter cover properly, it
will leak water!
Cleaning the Inlet Valve Filter
