If the door lock indicator light remains illuminated, it means the conditions are not safe to open the door, and the function cannot be used.

The CREDA CRWM1014W has an automatic detection system for eccentric loads. During the spin cycle, if clothes are unevenly distributed, the washer will attempt to level and adjust the clothes. If it cannot distribute the load evenly within a specified time, the washer will not spin at high speed to avoid severe vibration. In this case, you should check if clothes are knotted or entangled, and then select the “Spin” program after reorganizing them. When washing a small load (e.g., one pair of jeans), the machine might not complete the spin process due to this balance protection. It is recommended to wash large and small items together to help the clothes balance more easily.

1. Unpacking:

• Remove the washer from its packaging.

• To remove the bottom cushion, do not tip the washer on its front. Lay the washer down carefully on its side to remove the carton base.

2. Carrying:

• Tilt the washer backward. One person should hold the protruding part of the top plate from behind, while another person holds the bottom of the front panel.

3. Removing Transport Bolts:

• Before first use, you MUST remove all 4 transport bolts from the back of the appliance using the supplied wrench.

• Undo and remove the four bolts (A).

• Remove the four spacers (B). They will fall to the floor when you tip the machine.

• Insert the four cover caps (C) from the accessories bag into the holes.

4. Location:

• Install on a level and stable surface.

• Do not install in a damp area, in direct sunlight, or where temperatures may reach 0°C.

• Ensure sufficient clearance: 3cm or more above, 5cm or more behind, 2cm or more on the left and right sides, and 64cm or more in front.

5. Levelling the Appliance:

• If the floor is uneven, adjust the washer feet. Have someone lift the washer slightly to take pressure off the foot being adjusted.

• Turn the feet as required to level the washer. Do not extend the feet more than necessary.

• Use a spirit level to check it is level side-to-side and front-to-rear.

• Press down on each corner to ensure it doesn’t “wobble”.

• Once level, tighten the locknuts against the washer bottom to lock the feet in place.

6. Connecting Water and Drain Hoses:

• Follow the specific instructions for connecting the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and the back of the appliance.

• Connect the drain hose to a standpipe, sink siphon, or wash basin, ensuring the height is between 60cm and 100cm from the floor.

Your new washer was factory tested, so a small amount of water may remain. Before your first load of laundry, you should clean the system:

1. Run a ‘Drum Clean’ cycle with no laundry.

2. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of detergent to chamber I (main wash).

3. Wait for the cycle to finish.

When preparing laundry for washing:

• Remove any loose items or metal objects from laundry (check pockets and cuffs, close zips, button up items).

• Use a net bag or pillowcase for smaller items like tights, socks, and lace.

• Sort laundry according to colour, degree of soiling, and recommended wash temperature.

L = Liquid Detergent, P = Powder Detergent

Follow these steps for a standard wash cycle:

1. Load Laundry: Open the door and load articles one at a time, loosely, without overfilling. Observe the load sizes given in the wash cycle table.

2. Close Door: Ensure no laundry is stuck between the door glass and rubber seal. Close the door until it clicks shut.

3. Open Water Tap: Ensure the washing machine is connected to the water mains and open the water tap.

4. Set The Desired Program: Turn the wash cycle selector knob to the required program. The display will show the cycle duration and default temperature/spin speed.

4a. Change Temperature (Optional): Press the ‘Temp.’ button to adjust the temperature setting.

4b. Change Spin Speed (Optional): Press the ‘Speed’ button to adjust the spin speed.

4c. Select Options (Optional): Press the relevant button to select an option (e.g., Steam, Extra Rinse). The indicator will illuminate.

5. Add Detergent: Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer. Add powder or liquid detergent and softener to the correct compartments. Do not exceed the Max fill line.

6. Delay The End of a Program (Optional): If you want the cycle to finish later, set the ‘Delay End’ time.

7. Start Program: Press the START/PAUSE button. The door will lock, and the cycle will begin.

8. End of Cycle: The message “End” will show on the display. The DOOR LOCK indicator will turn off. Turn the wash cycle selector knob to the OFF position, open the door, and remove the laundry. Leave the door ajar to allow the interior to dry.

If the machine does not switch on:

• Check that the appliance is plugged into the socket fully.

• Check for power at the socket or if the fuse has blown in the mains plug.

If the wash cycle does not start:

• Ensure the door is closed properly.

• Make sure the on/off button has been pressed.

• Confirm the start/pause button has been pressed.

• Check that the water tap has been turned on.

• Check if a delayed start has been set.

If your machine is not filling with water or shows the error “E02”, check the following:

• The water inlet hose may be kinked.

• The water inlet hose may not be connected to the water supply.

• The water pressure might be too low.

• The water tap may not be turned on.

• There may be no water supply to the house.

• The inlet valve filter could be blocked.

• The start/pause button may not have been pressed.

This issue is typically related to the drain hose positioning:

• The top of the drain hose is too low: It must be fitted at a height between 60 and 100 cm from the floor.

• Incorrect connection to a sink trap: The drain hose must be positioned higher than the bottom of the sink to prevent water from siphoning back into the machine.

• Drain hose is too far down the standpipe: The “U” bracket should be fitted 100mm from the end of the drain hose to prevent it from going too deep.

If the machine fails to drain or spin, or displays “E03”, check these possible causes:

• The pump filter is blocked.

• The drain hose is kinked.

• For new installations under a sink, check if the blanking cap or spigot has been removed.

• The drain hose or sink trap is blocked.

• The spin cycle might be turned off (all spinning speed value indicator lights will be off on the display).

Always disconnect the washer from the power outlet before cleaning. Turn off the water tap after every wash cycle.

• Cleaning the Exterior: Use hot soapy water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Rub dry with a soft towel.

• Cleaning the Drum: To remove rust spots from metallic debris, use a chlorine-free cleaning agent according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use steel wool.

• Checking Water Inlet Hose: Check the hose at least once a year for cracks and replace it immediately if any are found.

• Cleaning the Detergent Dispenser:

1. Open the tray fully, press down on the drawer catch (1), and pull the tray (2) out.

2. Remove the liquid detergent cover (3) by pulling it upwards.

3. Clean both parts under running water.

4. Re-attach the cover and slide the tray back in securely.

Cleaning the Mesh Filter:

1. Close the water tap and unscrew the water inlet hose from the tap.

2. Clean the mesh filter at the hose’s end with a fine brush.

3. Unscrew the inlet hose from the back of the washer. Pull out the mesh filter from the valve with pliers and clean it.

4. Insert the mesh filter again and reconnect the hoses. Open the water tap and check for leaks.

Cleaning the Drain Pump:

This may be necessary if the appliance fails to drain.

1. If water is in the drum, try to drain it by selecting the Spin cycle and turning the spin speed off. If the pump is blocked, it won’t drain.

2. Shut off the water tap, switch off the appliance, and unplug it.

3. Open the drain filter cover at the bottom of the machine.

4. Use the pull-out drain hose to drain remaining water into a container (up to 20 litres). Pull the sealing cap from the hose to drain. When finished, replace the cap and restore the hose.

5. Turn the pump cover to remove it. A small amount of water may flow out. Clean the interior of the pump housing, removing any debris. Check that the impeller at the back can turn freely.

6. Replace the pump cover by screwing it tightly into position (handle must be vertical).

7. Close the drain filter cover.
