The Beko CM 8101 T is an automatic washing machine designed for domestic use, specifically for washing and rinsing laundry. It features various programs and auxiliary functions to cater to different fabric types, soiling levels, and user preferences. The machine automatically detects the amount of laundry loaded and adjusts the program duration accordingly. It also incorporates safety features such as a locked loading door during operation and a system to prevent overheating of electrical parts.
The machine complies with EU WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU) and RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU), indicating its adherence to environmental and material safety standards. Its service life is stated as 10 years, with original spare parts available during this period.
The washing machine offers a comprehensive control panel with a Programme Selection Knob, Display, End Time Adjustment Button, Programme Follow-up Indicator, Start/Pause Button, Auxiliary Function Buttons, Spin Speed Adjustment Button, and Temperature Adjustment Button.
Programme Selection: Users can select from a variety of main programmes based on fabric type, soiling degree, and desired temperature. Examples include:
Auxiliary Functions: The machine includes auxiliary functions such as Prewash, Fast Wash, Extra Water, AntiCrease+, Rinse Hold, Steeping, AutoDose, and Liquid Detergent Selection, which can be combined with main programs to enhance washing performance.
Detergent and Softener Usage: Instructions are provided for selecting the correct detergent type (liquid, powder, gel/tablet) and amount based on laundry load, soiling, and water hardness. Users are advised not to exceed the maximum level for softener and to dilute thick softener with water. Specific warnings are given against using non-fabric softeners or soap powder.
Loading Laundry: Laundry should be sorted by fabric type, color, and soiling. Metal attachments should be removed or protected, and pockets emptied. Small items should be placed in a laundry bag. The loading door should not be forced open and will unlock automatically after the cycle.
End Time Function: This feature allows users to delay the start time of a program. However, liquid detergent is not recommended when using this function to avoid stains.
Pause Mode: The machine has a "Pause Mode" function for energy saving if no program is started or if the machine is left idle after a program ends.
Cleaning the Detergent Drawer: The detergent drawer should be cleaned regularly to prevent accumulation of powder detergent.
Cleaning the Loading Door and Drum: Regular drum cleaning is recommended to prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The manual advises using the "Drum Cleaning" program or a specific method if the program is unavailable.
Cleaning the Water Inlet Filters: Filters at the end of the water inlet hose and at the tap connection should be cleaned periodically to prevent blockages and ensure proper water flow.
Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter: In case of a clogged pump filter or if the machine fails to drain water, users are instructed to manually drain the remaining water and clean the pump filter. This procedure involves opening the pump filter lid, removing the emergency handle, and carefully draining water into a container.
Troubleshooting: A comprehensive troubleshooting section addresses common issues such as the loading door not opening, water not being taken in or drained, poor washing performance (e.g., gray laundry, persistent stains, stiff laundry, unpleasant smell), and excessive foam. Solutions often involve checking detergent usage, filter cleanliness, hose connections, and water pressure.
Transportation Locks: The manual emphasizes the importance of removing transportation safety bolts before operating the machine and reinstalling them if the machine needs to be moved again.
Electrical Connection: The product must be connected to a grounded outlet with a 16 A fuse. Users are warned against using extension cables or multi-plugs and to ensure the power cable is undamaged.
Hot Surface Safety: The loading door glass can become very hot during high-temperature washes, and children should be kept away.
