lLoading
the Machine
Use only those detergents and additives which
are designed for automatic washing machines,
especially when using the TOWELS
programme. Do not use any agents containing
solvents, as these may damage certain parts of
the machine, or cause them to emit poisonous
gases. There may also be a risk of ignition and
explosion.
Ensure no unwanted objects are put inside the
appliance. Completely empty all pockets in the
clothing to be washed and fasten buttons and
zips. Place small, loose objects in a washing
bag, or inside a pillow case, as they may be
destroyed or else damage the drum or internal
tank. Do not exceed the recommended maximum load of washing.

NOTES ON SAFETY
Checking stability
Once the washing machine is in position and levelled, it must
be checked to ensure it rests rmly on all four legs.
In order to check this, press down each corner of the appliance in turn to see if it moves. Safe, long-term and reliable operation of the washing machine depends on it being
correctly positioned and level.
Important! Level the appliance, remove the drum locking bolts and wait 3 hours before using the appliance
for the rst time.
Important! Incorrect levelling, especially instability,
may cause the washing machine to move around during operation.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless
continuously supervised.
DISPOSAL OF THE APPLIANCE
To ensure safety, the washing machine must be rendered
unsuitable for use once its useful life comes to an end. First
unplug it and then cut off the power lead. Scrap the appliance
in line with local waste disposal legislation.

Press the [Start/ Pause] button.
- Connect the water intake properly.
- Replace the load evenly in the drum, clean the pump lter.
- Run a hot wash cycle with detergent and no load.
- Turn on the tap with the water supply.
- Firmly press the button in the middle container
- Use the correct amount of cleaning agent, depending on how dirty
the washing is and the hardness of the water (see the instructions on
the cleaning agent’s packaging).
- Clean the pump lter
- Turn on the water valve
- Check the programme setting
- Check the water pressure
- Reconnect the water supply hose.
- Close the door of the appliance.
- Check the water intake is not bent or blocked.
- Check that the end of the outlet hose is higher than the level of the
water in the appliance (the hose should be at a height of 0.6m to 1m).
- Check the pump lter
- Check the outlet lead
- Check the height of the outlet hose, which should be 0.6m to1m
from the bottom of the washing machine.
- Check that the transport safety devices have been removed.
- Level the appliance
- Secure the legs (tighten the nuts).
- Reduce the amount of detergent used.
- Check the water hardness and amount of detergent used, as well
as the type of detergent used in the drum.
- Check power supply, water supply and water outlet.
- The water has been removed from the drum, but small amounts
remain in the pump and outlet lead. Constant operation of the outlet
pump causes air to be sucked in leading to the characteristic noise,
which does not mean that anything is wrong.
- The water in the appliance is being automatically relled.
- Pause caused by removal of excess foam.

IV. Conservation
Stubborn stains
Before washing garments, apply an additional stain remover according to the instructions for use
Heavily soiled:
lOne-off washing of smaller amounts of clothes
lAdd more detergent
lAfter washing heavily soiled clothes (e.g. working clothes) or
garments which are shedding bres, it is recommended that the
washing machine is rinsed out by running a programme cycle
at a temperature of 60°C, e.g. COTTON, without a load. Lightly
soiled:
lSee pt. „Conservation”.
Reducing energy and water consumption
Garments which are only lightly soiled should be washed using the
appropriate wash programme, i.e. ULTRA SHORT The washing
machine detects partial load. For partial load, when using the Towels and Cotton programmes, washing machine will reduce water
and energy consumption and shorten the wash cycle.

VIII. Even load
distribution control
Hard water causes sediment to form.
Information about water hardness is available from your nearest
water works.
It is advised that water softeners are used for every wash.
Power cuts or unplugging the machine does not cancel the setting. This has been memorised and the cycle will continue once
the power is restored. Do not open the doors of the washing
machine during a power cut.
Maximum drum capacity 6 kg:
Load the washing into the drum according to the following instructions:
lcotton, denim, children’s clothes – max full drum (do not force clo-
thes into the drum as this will reduce the quality of the wash!).
lsynthetics - max 1/2 drum
lwool, silk, delicate fabrics - max. approx. 1/3 of the drum.
Important! Do not overload the machine! Overloading the machine
may cause damage to the clothes being washed!
The maximum load amounts depending on the program are
given in table of programs.
The electronic control device includes a load distribution control
system. In the event that the system detects uneven distribution
of load in the drum, the washing machine will try to relocate it.
Sometimes the trials will not be sufcient for the proper location of
the clothes (in the case of frotte dressing gowns washed with other
types of clothes, ball-shaped sheets which closes several objects
inside it). The system may react in the following way:
lit may accept the uneven distribution of clothes but will decrease
the spin speed
lit may not allow spinning as the clothes are distributed
unevenly.)
In both cases, after the wash is over, open the door of the washing
machine, place the laundry manually, close the door and select the
spin programme again.
