Connecting to the water supply.
Important:
•The water supply pressure required to run the machine must be 1-10 bar (0,1 – 1 MPa).
•Connect the special hoses supplied
with the machine to the water intake valves on the machine.
• If you are going to use your double water-inlet machine as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the stopper*, supplied with your machine to the hot water valve.
• If you want to use both water inlets of the product, you can 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.
When returning the appliance to its place after maintenance or cleaning, care should be taken not to fold, squeeze or block the hoses.
Connecting to the drain
The water discharge hose can be attached to the edge of a washbasin or bathtub. The drain hose should be firmly fitted into the drain as to not get out of its housing.
Important:
•The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.
•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 wet.
•The hose should be pushed into the drainage for more than 15 cm. If it is
3 - EN
too long you may have it shortened.
• The maximum length of the combined hoses must not be longer than 3.2 m.
Electrical connection
Connect the machine to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity.
Important:
• Connection should comply with national regulations.
• The voltage and the allowed fuse protection are specified in the section “Technical Specifications”.
• The specified voltage must be equal to your mains voltage.
• Connection via extension cords or multi-plugs should not be made.
B A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
B The appliance must not be operated unless it is repaired! There is the risk of electric shock!
Correct load capacity
C Please follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded.
Loading door

3 Initial preparations for washing
Preparing clothes for washing
Laundry items with metal attachments such as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar.
•Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels.
•Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.
•Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate program.
•Do not wash colors and whites together. New, dark colored cottons may release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
•Use only dyes/color changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
•Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out.
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
Add detergent and softener before starting the washing program.
Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running!
When using a program without pre-wash, no detergent should be put into the prewash compartment (Compartment no. I).
Detergent quantity
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.
•Do not use amounts exceeding the quantities recommended on the package to avoid problems of
excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
•Never exceed the (> max <) level marking; otherwise, the softener will be wasted without being used.
•Do not use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.
