Before using your Amica WA 15EX, ensure all 4 transport bolts are removed. The machine requires a cold water connection and a stable, level surface. Perform the calibration procedure before the first wash to optimize energy and water consumption.
Safety instructions
- Children: Keep children under 3 years away unless supervised. Children 8+ can use the device under supervision.
- Electrical: Connect only to a properly grounded outlet. Do not use extension cords or power strips.
- Water: Ensure water pressure is between 0.05 MPa (0.5 bar) and 1 MPa (10 bar). Use only cold water.
- General: Do not climb on the machine or sit on the open door. Do not wash items containing solvents.
Installation
Transport bolts: Unscrew the 4 transport bolts using a wrench and remove them along with the rubber/plastic bushings. Plug the holes with the provided caps.
Leveling: Place the machine on a hard, level floor. Adjust the feet to ensure the machine is stable and does not vibrate.
Water connection: Connect the inlet hose to a cold water tap. Ensure the drain hose is secured at a height between 60 cm and 100 cm.
Operation
Calibration: To calibrate, remove all items from the drum, close the door, and plug in the machine. Turn it on, press 'Ready in' and 'Spin' simultaneously for one second until 't19' appears. Press Start/Pause. The process takes 5 minutes.
Control Panel: Use the program knob to select cycles. Buttons allow adjustment of temperature, spin speed, and additional functions like 'SteamPower PRO' or 'Extra Rinse'.
Maintenance
Pump filter: Clean the pump filter after approximately every 20 wash cycles to ensure proper drainage.
Detergent drawer: Clean the drawer at least once a month under running water.
