If you want to use both water inlets
C
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
A
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
A
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

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
A
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.
9
EN
• 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

them. Remove curtain attachment
items.
• 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.
• Use only dyes/colour changers
and limescale removers suitable 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
pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to
materials such as flour, lime dust,
milk powder, etc. intensely must be
shaken off before placing into the
machine. Such dusts and powders
on the laundry may build up on the

Detergents and softeners
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
C
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

(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.
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.

EN
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
C
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 pre-wash 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
16
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.
