CAUTION!
INFORMATION
4.1.4 Connecting water supply
C
• 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.
A
• 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

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 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.
A
• 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.
CAUTION!
• 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.
4.1.6 Adjusting the feet
A
• In order to ensure that the product
operates more silently and vibrationfree, 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.
• Do not use any tools to loosen the lock
nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.
CAUTION!

4.1.7 Electrical connection
Connect the product to a grounded outlet
protected by a 13 A fuse. 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.
• The wiring for the electrical outlet circuit
must be sufficient to meet the appliance
requirements. Use of a Groud Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended.
• Power cable plug must be within easy reach
after installation.
• 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 voltage specified in the “Technical
specifications” section must be equal to
your mains voltage.
• Do not make connections via extension
cables or multi-plugs.
A
• Damaged power cables must be replaced
by the Authorised 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.
CAUTION!
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.
B
• 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.

INFORMATION
4.2 Preparation
4.2.1 Sorting the laundry
* Sort laundry according to type of fabric,
color, and degree of soiling and allowable
water temperature.
* Always obey the instructions given on the
garment tags.
4.2.2 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments such
as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal
buttons will damage the machine. Remove
the metal pieces or wash the 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” 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
to machine wash. Always follow the
instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned

• 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 inner parts of
the machine in time and can cause damage.
