4.1.4 Connecting water supply

40 cm

100 cm

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.

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.

1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when

tightening the nuts.

2 When 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.

4.1.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain

• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.

CAUTION: Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there

A

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.

• 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.

4.2.1 Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.

• Always observe the instructions given on the garment care labels.

4.2.2 Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the
product. Remove the metal pieces or wash such clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• 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.

• 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.

• Only use the dyes / color changers and descaling agents which are appropriate 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
piling.

• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken
off before placing into the product. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts
of the product in time and can cause damage.
