appropriate before calling the Authorized Service Agent. If they are not, call a

qualified technician and plumber to have any necessary arrangements carried out.

Preparation of the location and

electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the place of installation is under customer's responsibility.

Installation and electrical connections

of the product must be carried out

by the Authorized Service Agent.

Manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorized persons.

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.

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.

Appropriate installation location

• Place the machine on a rigid floor. Do

not place it on a long pile rug or similar surfaces.

• Total weight of the washing machine

and the dryer -with full load- when they are placed on top of each other reaches to approx. 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 at places

where temperature may fall below 0ºC.

• Place the product at least 1 cm away

from the edges of other furniture.

Removing packaging reinforcement

Tilt the machine backwards to remove

the packaging reinforcement. Remove the

packaging reinforcement by pulling the ribbon.

Removing the transportation locks

Do not remove the transportation

locks before taking out the packaging reinforcement.

Remove the transportation safety

bolts before operating the washing machine, otherwise, the product will be damaged.

1. Loosen all the bolts with a spanner until they rotate freely (C).

2. Remove transportation safety bolts by

turning them gently.

3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in

the User Manual bag into the holes on the rear panel. (P)

Keep the transportation safety bolts in

a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.

Never move the product without the

transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required

to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 10 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.

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 a blind stopper group.)

If you want to use both water inlets

of the product, connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper and gasket group from the hot water valve.

(Applies for the products supplied with

a blind stopper group.)

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.

Do not use old or used water inlet

hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special 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.

Ensure that the cold and hot water

connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench when tightening the nuts.

3. Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and

remove the nut. Retighten the nut

carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be

directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

Your 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! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a

height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.

• In case the 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 flowing of dirty water back

into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or drive it in the drain 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.

Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the product

operates more silent and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its

feet. Balance the machine by adjusting

the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.

2. Adjust the feet until the product stands

level and balanced.

3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

Do not use any tools to loosen the lock

nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

Electrical connection

Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the "Technical specifications" table. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.

• Connection must comply with national

regulations.

• Power cable plug must be within easy

reach after installation.

• The voltage and allowed fuse or

breaker protection are specified in the “Technical specifications” section. If the current value of the fuse or breaker in

the house is less than 13 Amps, have a qualified electrician install a 13 Amp

fuse.

• The specified voltage must be equal to

your mains voltage.

• Do not make connections via extension

cables or multi-plugs.

Damaged power cables must be

replaced by the Authorized Service Agents.

Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply. We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only

be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.

This appliance must be earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house. The moulded plug on this appliance

incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved

BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.

Important

Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains

lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1 Connect the green - yellow or green

(earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green.

2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the

terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the

terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must

be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.
