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

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.

Washing Machine / User’s Manual

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.

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)

(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.

Washing Machine / User’s Manual

11 / EN

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. 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.

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 prewash 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.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

4.4.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend. If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter. In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

2. Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:

a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter. b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you

have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.

c. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.

4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.

5. Install the filter.

6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
