Siemens iQ500 WG54G210GB Instruction Manual

To start a washing cycle, first load your laundry into the drum. Add detergent to the detergent drawer. Turn the program selector to choose the desired wash program. Adjust any additional settings such as temperature or spin speed if needed. Press the Start/Pause button to begin the cycle.
To clean the drum, run an empty wash cycle at the highest temperature with a drum cleaning detergent or vinegar. This helps remove detergent residues and prevents mold growth. It’s recommended to perform this maintenance every few months.
If the washing machine does not start, ensure it is plugged in and the power socket is working. Check if the door is properly closed. Verify that the water supply is turned on and there is adequate water pressure. Check if the child lock is activated and deactivate it if necessary.
To activate the child lock, press and hold the "Start/Pause" button for about 5 seconds. The display will show a key symbol indicating that the child lock is activated. This prevents accidental changes to the machine settings.
To reduce vibration, ensure the washing machine is level by adjusting the feet. Avoid overloading the drum and distribute the laundry evenly. Using the appropriate program and spin speed for the load can also help minimize vibrations.
Clean the detergent drawer every few weeks to prevent build-up of detergent residues. Remove the drawer, rinse it under warm water, and use a brush to clean any remaining residues. Allow it to dry completely before reinserting it into the machine.
Error code E18 indicates a drainage issue. Check if the drain hose is kinked or blocked. Make sure the pump filter is clean by accessing it from the front of the machine. Clear any debris and restart the washing cycle.
To adjust the spin speed, turn the program selector to choose your desired wash program. Use the spin speed button to select the desired spin speed. The available options will be displayed on the control panel.
If there is a bad odor, run an empty hot wash with a drum cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda. Ensure the door is left open after each wash to allow the interior to dry and avoid mold growth. Clean the detergent drawer and door seal regularly.
To reset the washing machine, turn the program selector to the "Off" position. Wait for a few seconds, then turn it to your desired program. This can help clear minor electronic glitches.
