ADJUSTMENT OF FEET

• Do not install your machine on rugs or similar surfaces.

• For your machine to work silently and without any vibration, it should

be settled on a flat, non-slippery and tough ground.

• You can adjust the balance of your machine from its feet.

4

• First, loosen the plastic adjustment nut.

• Adjust by rotating the feet upwards or downwards.

• After the balance has been reached, tighten the plastic adjustment

nut again by rotating it upwards.

• Never put cartons, wooden blocks or similar materials under the
machine to balance the irregularities on the level of the ground.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

• Your washing machine works with 220-240V and 60Hz.

• A special grounded plug has been attached to the network cable of

your washing machine. This plug must definitely be inserted to a
grounded socket with 10 ampere. The fuse flow value of the
electricity line attached to this should also be 10 ampere. If you have
no such sockets and fuses in your house, let it be made by a qualified
electrician.

• Our company will not be responsible for any damages that may
occur as a result of usage without grounding.

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTION

• Your machine has a single water (cold) inlet.

• To prevent from the leakages on the connection joints, 1 seal is

included in the hose packing.(Fit this seal on the end of the water
inlet hose at the tap side.)

• Connect the end with bracket of the water inlet hose to the water inlet
valve at the rear of the machine and the other end to your tap. In
situations where you are not assured, let a qualified plumber make
the connection works.

• Water pressure of 1-10 bars from your tap will enable your machine
to work more efficiently.(1 bar pressure means water flow of more
than 8 liters in 1 minute from a fully opened tap).

• After connections are completed, check for the non-leakage of the
connection joints by turning on your tap completely.

• Be sure that water inlet hoses are not folded, broken or crushed.

• Mount the water inlet hoses to a 3”/4, geared water tap.

Cold water inlet

WATER DRAIN CONNECTION

• Be sure that water inlet hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or
elongated by stretching.

• Water drain hose should be mounted at a height of minimum 60 cm,
maximum 100 cm from the ground.

• The end of the water drain hose may directly be fitted to the dirty
water outlet hole or a special apparatus mounted on the outlet
bracket of the wash-stand.

• Never attempt to extend the water drain hose by adding extra parts.
