After removing the packaging are the first transport screw to remove. After that, the machine is completely flat set up with the aid of a spirit level. Possibly Uneven floors can be compensated by means of screws at the four adjustable feet of the machine. In our unit one of the four screw was so tight that we had difficulty to solve them.
The waste tube is already mounted on the machine. It can be connected to the siphon an existing sink or mounted on the sink rim. An appropriate accessory for hooking is available through the Bauknecht parts service.
The water inlet hose is in the drum during transport and therefore must be connected to the washing machine and the tap.
But do not worry, even if you are not so technically savvy, you get the out everything, because in addition to the user guide / manual is the washing machine and a 15-page guide for the installation (and safety) at. Here all the steps for setting up / connecting the device are explained in detail.
The cable is unfortunately only 1.20 meters long and should be plugged directly into an electrical outlet without using an extension cord. We have in our utility room on the right and left of the location of the machine outlets, however, have on both sides of a few centimeters from it, so we had to change other devices in order to reach a power outlet.
First, an empty wash cycle is at 95 degrees recommended to allow any residues to be removed from the assembly plant. Already in the first wash, I noticed how pleasantly quiet Bauknecht Prime 754 PM runs. One actually hears only the sound of the drum umherschwappenden in water. From the engine can be heard almost nothing during washing. Only when Draining and spin it out loud.
My last two machines were a Hoover and Siemens. Both have one when they ran, heard throughout the house.
The optics of Prime 754 PM are not different significantly from other front loader. Only the door opening with a diameter of 33 cm larger. The panel is clearly laid out, the various programs and options are well organized. The display shows the remaining runtime is displayed during washing.
There are eight different washing programs, in which one can change the temperature and the number of revolutions during the spin cycle individually. I already know from my Siemens and have these features often used.
Moreover, there are a number of options that can be co-opted. These are
* A warm final rinse (to relax the material fibers)
* A special stain treatment (works really well)
* Heavy contamination
* Intense Rinse
* Prewash
* Short Program
Additionally, you can choose for each program, whether
* At 15 degrees would wash (with asymemetrischen drum movements) in order to protect the colors and to save energy,
* Wishing to use automatic dosing of washing machine, where the amount of detergent is determined analogously to the weight of the drum filling and shown on the display,
* Wants to switch Fresh-Care function, in which the drum rotates repeatedly at regular intervals after the completion of washing. The purpose is that the clothes, if that is not taken immediately after the end of the wash cycle, relatively wrinkle free will. One knows that the Waschetrockner. Especially with men's shirts and blouses a great thing.
Two other features are the rinse hold, in which eliminates the spin and the washing remains in the final rinse water and the delay start, at the time of start of the washing operation can be selected with a delay of up to 24 hours.
Although not every option at each program selected, but there is a table with an overview. In it you will also find the program-specific maximum loading amounts, which is a maximum of 7 kg for cotton and 1.0 kg for wool minimal.
The Quick Start / Manual there is fortunately also a table for water and energy consumption for the individual programs.
In practice, it looked like that at first I was sitting with the manual before the machine in order to really find the optimal program for the upcoming lingerie. This time was worth it because the Prime 754 PM offers a much wider range of possibilities, as all the machines that I know this and I would like to use.
For my taste, the wash programs for cotton, the eco-programs have too long a duration. Even as a short program and a recognition of the loading and subsequent determination of the required duration to get in any 60-degree program at 3 hours 30 minutes.
Although there are electricity and water consumption in the Eco-programs in the low range, but the length of the washing time for me is crucial.
My favorites are mixed wash at 40 (runs 1 hour) and at 60 degrees (1 hour 20 minutes), as well as synthetic 40 and 60 degrees, but this only in the short program (each 1 hour 20 minutes. Here I can towels (at 60 degrees) Wash and cotton-wool nightwear and underwear well to 40 or 60 degrees.
Socks I wash on "Colorful" with 40 degrees (also 1 hour 20 minutes).
Since we do not work or washing heavily soiled laundry, these programs range from completely for cleaning.
The short wash program I choose 30 minutes if I want to give a fresh scent in lightly used clothing or a blanket for example. I also like to use the dosing aid, where then informed me after 3 seconds test that I have to admit 27 ml detergent (eg). But even in this short program I noticed that small amounts of dirt to be effortlessly beseitig.
Unlike my previous washing program is delicates when Bauknecht defined to be very gentle here delicate fibers (ie without many drum rotations) cleaned.
This program I've used only for delicate, embroidered curtains.
What I also like; Prime 754 PM checks the programs cotton and synthetic and blended linen during the first few seconds, the weight of the wash load. If less than 3.5 kg of laundry available, the washing time is reduced automatically and shown on the display. Thus, for example, reduce the standard 60 minutes at mix wash on 50 minutes. So I can plan in time, what I see as optimization.
The spin takes in some programs much time, for example in organic cotton with 60 degrees, the last spin cycle takes (at 1400 revolutions) 12 minutes. However, I'd never wash with as little residual moisture.
After much shorter spin the mix wash program the drum is still approximately one minute gently rotated to loosen the spun washing again. I think that's fine, because I do not like crumpled lingerie festgepappt stuck in the drum rounding.
When wool program, the time for the final spin (max. At 1000 rpm possible) just 2 minutes, although the woollens are sufficiently pre-dried.
The machine offers the ability to change an already running program! A running program can be interrupted and even the door, are to lower the water level, open !. A reset of the current program is also possible.
At the beginning of each wash program, the machine pumps for about 5 seconds from any residual water that is nothing to worry about, but completely normal. Mich had initially confused it because I thought a previous program had not been completed.
Bauknecht gives a 24 month base warranty. But you should be registered by phone.
The washing machine lying next above manual and the installation instructions at a water hardness rapid test and a brochure "clever tips for radiant laundering" (collective work of Ariel and Bauknecht).
Conclusion:
The advantages of Bauknecht WA Prime 754 PM are you silent motor and the variety of programs with more zuwählbaren options. A device with which you can get any type of laundry washed gently, saves energy and time.
