4.1 Installation
•Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the place of installation is under customer's responsibility.
•Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses as well as the power cable are not folded, pinched or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or cleaning procedures.
•Prior to installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have it installed.
Damaged products cause risks for your safety.
4.1.1Appropriate installation location
•Place the product on a hard and level floor. Do not put it onto a carpet with high pile or other similar surfaces.
•When the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight –when loaded– amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the product on a solid and flat floor that has sufficient load carrying capacity!
•Do not place the product on the power cable.
•Do not install the product in the environments where the temperature falls below 0 ºC.
•Leaving a gap at the sides of the machine is suggested to reduce vibration and noise
•On a graduated floor, do not place the product next to the edge or on a platform.
•Do not place heat sources such as Hobs, Irons, Ovens, etc. on the washing machine and do not use them on the product.
4.1.2Removing packaging reinforcement
Tilt the machine backwards to remove the packaging reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement by pulling the ribbon. Do not make this operation alone by yourself.
4.1.3 Removing the transportation locks
1Loosen all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
2Remove the transport safety bolts by turning them slightly.
3Insert the plastic covers in the bag containing the user manual to the openings on the rear panel.
A CAUTION: Remove the transportation safety bolts before operating the washing machine! Otherwise, the product will be damaged.

4.1.4 Connecting water supply
C The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to have
10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
A CAUTION: Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
1Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
2When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak
problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.
4.1.5Connecting the drain hose to the drain
•Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.
A CAUTION: Your drain 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! In order to prevent such situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.
100 cm 40 cm
•Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100 cm.
•In case the drain 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 the waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for 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.
