Sometimes situations arise when we urgently need operating instructions for a washing machine, but it takes a very long time to search for it and it is not a fact that it will lead to a positive result. It’s easier to go to the Internet, make the appropriate request and receive a detailed answer. At the same time, real photographs and explanations are often attached on the Internet. Sometimes you can stumble upon nuances about which there is more than a word in the instructions. On this page you can read the instructions for the Siemens IQ300 washing machine.
Installation and safety features
There are things that need to be done before the Siemens IQ300 washing machine even crosses the threshold of your home. We are talking about the following operations:
- Preparing the site for installing the floor, namely leveling the floor or choosing a level place in the apartment;
- Creating a branch in a water and sewer pipe;
- Installing a grounded outlet.
In accordance with the instructions, after unpacking and removing all impact protection elements from the Siemens IQ300 machine, you must remove the transport bolts. Next, the machine is placed next to the future location of permanent installation for connecting communications. The thread of the inlet hose, dimension 3/4, allows you to freely screw it onto the outlet of the water supply and plumbing. Thus, we can assume that water is connected to the Siemens IQ300 machine.
The drain hose of the Siemens IQ300 washing machine is connected to a pre-purchased siphon, which is located on the drain pipe. It is tightened with a clamp measuring 2.4-4 cm. Of course, you can lower the drain hose into the bathroom, but this will spoil the whole look, and secondly, it is not entirely hygienic. To ensure that the Siemens IQ300 washing machine does not stop during operation because the water is not draining, it is necessary that the maximum lift of the drain hose be 60 cm and the minimum 100 cm.
The operating instructions state that the following safety precautions must be observed:
- You need to lift the Siemens IQ300 washing machine carefully, and do not trust it to children;
- The hoses should be located behind the washing machine so that they do not interfere with free movement in the room;
- Connection hoses should not be laid in rooms where the temperature may drop below zero, as this may render them unusable;
- If the Siemens IQ300 machine is installed on a plinth, it must be fixed. The supplied pads are used specifically for this purpose;
- It is important to preserve all fasteners, including shipping bolts, in order to effectively secure the SM in transport;
- The Siemens IQ300 washing machine must be connected to hot water, since it is heated in the installation;
- All screw connections must be tightened by hand so that the plastic element does not crack when using pliers.
- It is important to constantly pay attention to the condition of the hoses of the Siemens IQ300 washing machine. They should not break or bend.
Powder tray
The rectangular cuvette used in the Siemens IQ300 is divided into three parts. One contains detergents that carry out pre-washing.Powder or gel is poured into the other to carry out the main wash. And the last, central niche is filled with fabric softener.
The cuvette is obtained quite simply by pressing your finger on the middle of the element, where there is a small recess, and with a slight movement away from the Siemens IQ300 machine. This may be necessary to clean up dried powder and accumulated dirt. There shouldn't be any problems when installing it back.
Siemens IQ300 machine control
The instructions for the Siemens IQ300 washing machine indicate that the first time the machine should run idle, without laundry. In this case, powder should be poured in so that it washes and cleans any debris and dust that may have accumulated there. Then everything is as usual: the laundry is sorted by color and fabric, a certain volume is loaded into the drum and a certain mode is turned on.
Algorithm for starting the Siemens IQ300 washing machine:
- Connecting the machine to the network;
- Opening the cold water supply tap;
- Select the required program by turning the toggle switch;
- Turning on the SM by pressing the start button;
- If necessary, additional inclusion of some parameters is performed.
In addition to the main mode, you can add a spin function, as well as independently adjust it. The higher the rotation speed of the drum of the Siemens IQ300 washing machine, the stronger the laundry will be wrung out. But be careful when setting the highest rotation speed for all fabrics. Some clothes may become unusable after spinning at 1000 rpm.
Many modern washing mashines have a delayed start function. It allows the user to set the installation startup time to a specific time. This is very convenient if you need to do laundry in the morning rather than at night.
The Siemens IQ300 washing machine is equipped with a wash reduction function, which speeds up all operations several times. If desired, you can use an additional rinse to rid the fabrics of powder.
The instructions indicate that the washing machine has a control panel lock. It allows you to protect small children who constantly strive to turn on and start the washing mashine or simply click on different buttons. This can be done by pressing the start key and holding it down.
How to care for your Siemens IQ300 washing machine
Siemens IQ300 is a modern high-tech installation that is gentle on your laundry. In order to get the desired result, you just need to load the laundry and set the program. The washing machine will do the rest itself. It is highly reliable, so it never attracts attention to itself and does its job perfectly.
But if you don't take care of the "helper", then in the end it will become dirty and smell unpleasant. In addition, all rubber products will become unusable much faster. If you constantly leave sharp things, buttons, coins and other small items in your pockets, the Siemens IQ300 will eventually fail and, at a minimum, leak. And it is very difficult to detect a leak on your own.
In order for Siemens IQ300 washing equipment to please you for a long time, you need to perform the following operations:
- Wash the hatch, drum and powder receptacle with a soap solution in warm water;
- Wipe the hatch, drum and powder receptacle of the Siemens IQ300 machine with a dry cloth so that moisture does not accumulate in them;
- Do not close the hatch and powder receptacle immediately after washing so that they are ventilated.
The washing machine, no matter what it is, requires attention and periodic maintenance.Its durability and reliability depend on this.
