Brandt BT16524QE User Guide

To start a wash cycle, first load your laundry into the drum, then add the appropriate amount of detergent to the dispenser. Select your desired wash cycle using the control panel, and press the 'Start' button to initiate the wash.
If the washing machine does not start, ensure it is properly plugged into a power outlet and that the door is securely closed. Check the fuse or circuit breaker to ensure there is power. If the machine still doesn't start, consult the user manual or contact customer support.
To clean the detergent drawer, remove it from the machine by pulling it out gently. Rinse it under warm water to remove any detergent residue. Use a soft brush to scrub away any stubborn deposits, then dry thoroughly before reinserting.
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the detergent drawer, checking and cleaning the filter, inspecting hoses for leaks or damage, and running an empty hot wash with vinegar or a washing machine cleaner to remove build-up.
Unusual noises may be caused by unbalanced loads, foreign objects in the drum, or worn bearings. Ensure the machine is level and not overloaded. Check the drum for any objects and contact a technician if the noise persists.
Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Clean the pump filter located at the bottom of the machine. Ensure the drain hose is at the correct height and not submerged in water. If the issue continues, consult a technician.
Run a maintenance wash with a washing machine cleaner or a cup of white vinegar. Leave the door open between washes to allow air circulation. Regularly clean the detergent drawer and the rubber seal to prevent mold and mildew.
To prevent tangling, avoid overloading the drum, mix large and small items in each wash, and use the appropriate cycle settings for delicate items. Consider using a mesh laundry bag for smaller items.
You can adjust the spin speed by selecting the desired wash program and then using the spin speed button on the control panel to choose the preferred setting. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions.
Inspect hoses for cracks or loose connections. Ensure the detergent drawer is not overfilled. Check the door seal for damage or debris. If the leak persists, it may require professional assessment.
