Cautions and advice
In order to get maximum satisfaction and performance from your washing machine,
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 you 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 washing machine 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.
9Always put the machine on fully loaded. This will conserve 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 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 it being used, it is advisable to run a washing programme
with the machine empty, to eliminate any rusty water in the tubes.

Using your BWD12
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 32
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
Washing Machine
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
wash programme 2 (without
prewash) for 90
° C.
•Start the programme.
•Wait until the programme finishes.
*FOR NORMAL USE, SEE NEXT PAGE

9
Before Loading your
Washing Machine
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: 4.5 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 it won’t work.

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

Filling your Washing
Machine’s Dispenser Drawer
with Detergent
The dispenser drawer consists of three compartments:
1) Pre-wash / Bio-wash Compartment
This compartment should be used only when programmes involving pre-wash or bio-
wash have been selected. The amount of power used will depend on the fabric type
to be washed. We recommend following the detergent manufacturer’s directions.
2) Main wash Compartment
This compartment is used to store detergent that is going to be used in the main
washing cycle of any complete washing programme.
3) Fabric Conditioner Compartment
This compartment is used for fabric softeners. At the end of the washing programme,
water will automatically be siphoned out, leaving the compartment ready for the next
wash. NOTE: THERE IS A SIDE COMPARTMENT ON THE RIGHT (‘CL’) THAT IS FOR
BLEACH.
IMPORTANT!
The detergent dispenser drawer and housing must be cleaned periodically
to ensure that detergent and fabric softener do not build up and reduce
the appliance’s efficiency. To remove the drawer, pull it forward to its
fullest extent, lifting the front edge at the same time, then give a firm tug.
The dispenser drawer should now be rinsed, dried and replaced.
Dispenser Drawer

12
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.
NOTE: 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 programs 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.

13
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
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.

oSHORT SPIN (12)
The slower spin speed (500 rpm) can be selected by
turning the knob to position ‘12’ and must be used for
delicate items and woollens. Note: Even if you have
pressed the spin speed button for 1200rpm, the short
spin will only turn the drum at 500rpm.
Never use a fast spin programme on wool!
