•The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.
AYour house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent
such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
9 EN
•The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
•In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.
•To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
•The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.
•If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

Preparing laundry for washing
•Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
13 EN
•Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
•Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
•Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
•Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.
•Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
•Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
•Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
•Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
•Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
•Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.
Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired.
The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water according to the weight of the loaded laundry.
AFollow the information in the “Programme and consumption table”. When overloaded, machine's washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur.

Detergents and softeners
Detergent Drawer
Detergent drawer of your washing machine consists of four different compartments for powder main wash detergent, liquid main wash detergent, liquid softener and powder pre-wash detergent. Each of these laundry additives are dispensed automatically in the relevant time during the washing Programme.
Do not place the laundry additives directly into the drum. Always use the detergent drawer.
Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the laundry additives. This may cause the additives be dispensed early, creating unsatisfactory washing results and fabric damage.
C Do not open the drawer during washing Programme.
The detergent drawer compartments are indicated below:
1)Left compartment with number “II” (Main wash compartment for powder detergent or powder bleach/stain remover)
2)Left compartment with number “II 
” (Main wash compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain remover)
3)Middle compartment with number “I” (pre-wash compartment for powder detergent, powder stain remover or liquid bleach - liquid bleach must be added either during the pre-wash
or during the first rinsing step of the washing Programme). Liquid bleach must be added manually while the machine takes in water.
4)Right compartment with “
” symbol (liquid softener compartment)
2
1
3 4
(II) Main Wash Compartment
Before starting the washing Programme, put powder detergent into the left compartment with number “II”. Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package. Powder bleach/stain remover must also be put into this compartment.
Put the liquid detergent into the main wash compartment with number “II 
” before starting the washing Programme. Liquid stain remover must be put into this compartment.
Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the left compartment with “II 
” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. II 
) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated detergents must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will reach the laundry without water and may cause stains on the garments.In this case you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid Softener Compartment
Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the right compartment with “
” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. 
) with warm water.
15 EN
Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get mixed with the washing water and you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the final rinsing step of the washing Programme.
(I) Pre-Wash Compartment
Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover into the middle compartment with number “I”.
You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or first rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in water allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the laundry.
You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach in a washing
Programme. Bleach must be removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on the skin.
C Read the dosage instructions and label of your garments carefully before using the liquid bleach.
Starch
•Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package.
•Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle.
•Wipe the inside of the drum after using starch.
Bleaches
If you are going to use regular bleach in your machine, it is suggested to select a Programme with pre-wash step and add the bleach at the beginning of the pre-wash without putting detergent into
the pre-wash compartment. Alternatively, it is suggested to select a Programme with extra rinsing and add the bleach while the machine takes in water from the detergent drawer in the first rinsing step. Bleach should not be mixed with
detergent. Since the bleach may cause irritation on skin, little amounts must be used and rinsed thoroughly. Do not pour bleach directly onto the laundry and do not use it with colour laundry.
When using oxygen based bleach, follow the instructions on the package and select a Programme at low temperature. Oxygen based bleach can be used together with the detergent. However, if it is not at the same thickness with the detergent, then it must be added from the compartment number “II” right after the detergent foams with water.
Eliminating lime formation
•When required, use only appropriate lime removers developed specifically for washing machines and always follow the instructions on the package.
