Clothes coming out wrinkled
Got a Siement Siwamat 5040 second hand - been trying to figure out how to use it without ruining my clothing but - it's still a learning loop and all my stuff is coming out WRINKLED. Does anyone have in their possession the knowledge or the manual on how to use a gentle cycle without all the wrinkles? When I attempt to move the dial to the necessary temp and program the dial just moves all around without stopping and the program does not engage.
Thanks for any help. This is an emergency because I cannot lose any more clothing to not knowing how this machine operates and all attempts at finding the manual online have failed.

Siement Siwamat 5040 laundry coming out badly creased
- The problem
- A second-hand Siement Siwamat 5040 was producing very wrinkled clothes. The user also reported difficulty selecting a programme, saying the dial moved around without stopping and the chosen programme did not engage.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply suggested the creasing was most likely due to use of the wrong wash cycle. It also suggested checking whether the machine was connected to the correct water supply, particularly if the washing was coming out quite warm. The programme selector issue was mentioned by the user but no fault diagnosis was confirmed in the discussion.
- What fixed it
- Use basic operating guidance/manual information to identify the correct gentle cycle and wash symbols, and check that the machine is connected to the correct water supply. No specific repair or confirmed fix for the programme dial was documented.
- Checks to try
- Checked whether the laundry was coming out quite warm
- Checked that the machine was connected to the right water supply
- Sought the instruction manual/basic operating guidance to choose the correct wash cycle

Hello. Try this article which offers basic advice - using washing machine without an instruction manual which not only has advice about trying to figure out how to use the washer but there's a link to my appliance instruction manuals download page as well as other useful links about wash symbols.
Also, just make sure it's connected up to the right water supply. If the laundry is getting creased it could just be that you are using the wrong wash cycle but if the washing is also quite warm when it comes out you need to check it is connected up properly - why is my laundry badly creased after washing?
