Instructions for washing machine Siemens IQ300

When you urgently need instructions for your washing machine, there is no need to look for a printed version, especially if you don’t remember where you put it. It’s faster to find such instructions on the Internet, and a shortened and adapted version. For example, for the Siemens IQ300 washing machine, the instructions are presented below.

Installation and Safety

Installation of the washing machine begins even before it is delivered home, you need to:

• prepare a place to place equipment by leveling the floor;
• make a branch in the water supply and sewerage systems;
• install a grounded outlet.

Once the machine is unpacked, you need to remove the shipping bolts. Place the machine closer to the communications and start connecting. We take an inlet hose with a ¾ thread and screw one end of it onto the water supply outlet and the other onto the machine. We connect the drain hose to the outlet in the siphon, tightening it with a 24-40 mm clamp, or we organize a drain into the bathroom, securing it to a clothespin by the edge.

The minimum lifting height of the drain hose is 60 cm, and the maximum is 100.

In addition, when connecting the machine, remember the safety rules:

• carefully lift the washing machine, it is better to do this together, as it is heavy;
• position all hoses so that you do not trip over them later;
• do not lay connection hoses in a room with low temperatures, this may lead to their rupture;
• when installing the washing machine on a plinth, be sure to fix the legs using pads WX975600;
• save the shipping bolts for subsequent transportation of equipment;
• connect the washing machine only to cold water and only using the hose included in the kit;
• Tighten the screw connections of the inlet hose only by hand, avoiding overtightening;
• After final installation, check whether the hoses are kinked.

Powder tray

In Siemens washing machines, the cuvette has a rectangular shape and is divided into three compartments. The compartment labeled I, the one in the picture on the right, is intended for filling detergents for pre-washing. Powders and gels are placed in the compartment numbered II during the main wash. And fabric softener is poured into the central compartment marked “flower”.

To remove the cuvette for rinsing from residual detergents, just press your finger on the central part of the cuvette, where there is a small notch, and then pull it towards you. Inserting the cuvette is also simple and should not cause any difficulties.

Machine control

Before the very first wash, run the machine in any mode without laundry, adding a small amount of powder. This will allow you to wash it free of debris and dust. After that, load the laundry, sorting it by color, fabric type according to the drum capacity and the maximum load for a particular mode. Next, follow the algorithm:

1. plug in the machine;
2. open the water supply tap;
3. press the On button;
4. turn the toggle switch to the desired program;
5. Click the Start button.

Separately, you can set and change the following washing parameters:

• spin – you can change the speed or turn it off;
• program start time – you can delay the start for no more than 24 hours;
• Speed ​​Perfect wash reduction;
• additional rinse.

For your information! Unfortunately, you cannot change the water temperature for a separate program in this washing machine model.

In addition to the above, there are several more useful functions. For example, locking the control panel.This is done by holding the Start button for 5 seconds, after which the key lights up on the display. When you start the program, you can reload the drum if you need to put something in or vice versa take it out.

To do this, press the Pause/Start button and wait about a minute until the word YES appears on the display. While a program is paused, it can also be changed to another program. The complete operating instructions contain detailed descriptions of each of these programs.

Equipment care

The new generation Siemens IQ300 automatic washing machine is truly capable of caring for laundry with almost no human intervention, and housewives quickly get used to this, paying attention to the “home assistant” only when they need to wash something. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with this, you just need to remember that the machine also needs minimal care.

If you don't take care of your machine while it's new and clean, it will soon become very dirty and begin to emit a terrible stench. Mold may grow inside, which will smell unpleasant and contaminate the laundry. It turns out that the machine does not wash, but rather contaminates the laundry - a pun, and that’s all! After each wash you need:

• Dissolve a little soap in warm water and take a soft cloth.
• Wash the hatch cuff, the inside of the drum, and the powder receptacle with this solution.
• Take a dry cloth and wipe all indicated surfaces so that no moisture remains.
• Leave the hatch and powder receptacle open for ventilation.

Let's imagine that the machine is already pretty much running. Quite a lot of dirt has accumulated in it and there are traces of mold, and when you open the hatch, an unpleasant smell hits your nose, in general, the complete set.You can’t get away with this with soapy water and a cloth; you’ll have to wash it using special odor removers and dirt.

Then you will have to thoroughly clean the garbage filter, pipes and inner walls of the tank, which can be reached by partially disassembling the washing machine (through the hole for the heating element). Only then will the machine acquire almost pristine cleanliness. The question arises: is it worth bringing your machine to this condition? Isn’t it better to take care of it a little after each wash? Answer this question for yourself!

In our opinion, the instructions for the Siemens IQ300 are exactly what they should look like, everything is short and clear. No unnecessary information, I read and understood everything in a couple of minutes. Well, if something is not clear, you can read the factory instructions. Good luck!
