• 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.
4.1.1 Appropriate 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.
• If the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight –when loaded–
amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the products 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 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 raised 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

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 are no leak problems at the connection
smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if the 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.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper
to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with twin – inlet valves only.)
Connect the special water supply hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the
product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is
for cold water inlet.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when the product is
being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process
and may be damaged.

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

Washing Machine / User’s Manual
4.2 Preparation
4.2.1 Sorting the laundry
• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, 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
machine. 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.
• 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” labelled 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.
• Only use the dyes / colour 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 a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours before washing.
This can 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.
4.2.3 Tips for energy and water saving
Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy/water-efficient manner.
• Operate the product in the highest load capacity allowed for the programme you have selected, but do not
overload. See, "Programme and consumption table".
• Observe the temperature instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing
process.
• Do not use more detergent than the recommended on the detergent packaging.
4.2.4 Loading the laundry
1. Open the loading door.
2. Put the laundry items into the product in a loose manner.
3 Push the loading door to close until you hear a locking sound. Ensure that no items are caught in the door.
The loading door is locked while a programme is running. The door lock will open immediately after the
washing programme has ended. Then you can open the loading door. If the door does not open, apply the
solutions provided for "Loading door cannot be opened." error in the Troubleshooting section.
4.2.5 Correct load capacity
The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the desired washing
programme.
The machine automatically adjusts the water amount according to the weight of the laundry put inside it.
WARNING: Comply with the information in the section "Programme and consumption table". When overloaded,

When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach and descaling agents; read the manufacturer's instructions written
C
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent drawer open!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment
(compartment no. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the
detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the product.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent container into the main wash

• Wash woollens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woollens
• Please review the programme descriptions part for suggested programme for different textiles.
• All recommendations about detergents are valid for selectable temperature range of programmes.
A
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and
water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid
problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use less detergent for small loads, lightly soiled clothes and short duration programmes, especially in soft
water areas.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before adding it in the detergent compartment.
