SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please, do not use the washing machine

without reading and understanding these instructions or use first.

Be sure to remove transport brackets prior first use of the appliance. Attempted operation of the blocked machine may result in irreparable damage which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty!

When connecting your washing machine to water supply, be sure to use the supplied

water inlet hose and sealing gaskets.

Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate use of the washing

machine may result in damage to the laundry or machine, or injury to the user. Keep the instructions for use handy, near the washing machine.

Do not install the machine in a room where temperature can drop below 0°C. Parts of

the machine may be damaged if the water inside them freezes.

Install the washing machine in a perfectly horizontal position, on solid flat (concrete) floor.

Follow the instructions for correct installation and water and mains connections (see chapter "Installation and connections").

Door may not be open during the washing cycle.

We recommend running the self-cleaning program before the first wash in order to

remove any impurities from the washing machine drum. (See chapter on” Selecting additional functions”.

Use only detergents and softeners for machine wash. Manufacturer may not

assume responsibility for any damage and eventual discolouring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or colouring agents.

For removal of lime residues use such agents with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to remove completely eventual acid residues (e.g. vinegar etc.).

Never use detergents containing solvents,

since there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion.

This product does not release silver ions during the washing cycle.

Upon completion of the washing cycle, close the water faucet and unplug the mains cord.

Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the draining water.

Prior starting the washing cycle lock the door by pressing them at the designed spot.

354011

Before transporting the machine after it has been used, block the drum by inserting at least one transport blocking rod. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power before inserting the rod!

Rating plate with basic information is located above the opening of the machine.

Leave any repairs and similar tasks on the washing machine to an expert.

Unprofessional repair may result in an accident or major malfunction.

The warranty shall not apply to consumables (bulbs), minor discoloration or deviations of colour, increased noise level as a consequence of appliance age, which does not affect appliance functionality, and aesthetical deficiencies which do not affect appliance functionality or safety.

The appliance is intended exclusively for use in households. If the appliance is

used for professional purposes, for profit, or for purposes beyond regular use in a household, or if appliance is used by a person who is not a consumer, the warranty period equals the shortest warranty period possible as stipulated by the relevant legislation.

THE APPLIANCE IS MANUFACTURED IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL RELEVANT SAFETY STANDARDS.

THIS APPLIANCE CAN BE USED BY CHILDREN AGED FROM 8 YEARS AND ABOVE AND PERSONS WITH REDUCED PHYSICAL, SENSORY OR MENTAL CAPABILITIES OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE IF THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SUPERVISION OR INSTRUCTION CONCERNING USE OF THE APPLIANCE IN A SAFE WAY AND UNDERSTAND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED. CHILDREN SHALL NOT PLAY WITH THE APPLIANCE. CLEANING AND USER MAINTENANCE SHALL NOT BE MADE BY CHILDREN WITHOUT SUPERVISION.

BEFORE CONNECTING THE WASHING MACHINE:

Carefully read the instructions for use before connecting the washing machine. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall not be covered by the warranty.

354011

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

REMOVAL OF TRANSPORT BRACKETS

Move the pipes.

Loosen screws at the rear of the machine.

Remove the

brackets.

Slide brackets

into the groove on the blocking rod - the right one should be turned around.

Close the openings with attached plastic pegs.

Be careful to prevent personal injury.

In removing the wrapping be careful not to damage the appliance with a sharp object.

Remove transport protection devices; as running the washing machine with the blocking rods in place could result in damage. Save transport brackets for eventual later use.

Warranty shall be void in cases of such damage.

354011

Use the

brackets to rotate blocking rods for 90° and pull them out.

SELECTING THE ROOM

The appliance should be placed on a surface with concrete base; the surface should be dry and clean in order to prevent slipping. The adjustable feet should also be cleaned before installation.

INSTALLATION

Use a water scale and spanner No. 22 (for feet) and 17 (for the nut).

Put the appliance

in horizontal position by turning the adjustable legs. The legs are adjustable up to +/1 cm.

After the

adjustment tighten the nuts firmly - towards the bottom of the machine!

Vibrations, moving of the appliance and loud operation due to incorrect setting of the adjustable feet shall not be covered by this warranty.

354011

If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can place it on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feet or side by side.

354011

Before connecting the appliance, let it warm up to room temperature (wait at least two hours).

WATER INLET CONNECTION

Insert the gasket with a filter net into the straight inlet hose attachment nut and screw the nut onto the water tap (with some models, the gasket with filter net is already fitted and any additional fitting into the nut on the straight attachment is not required).

AQUASTOP

TOTAL AQUA-

STOP

REGULAR

ATTACHMENT

To ensure correct operation of the appliance, water pressure inlet must be between 0,05 and 0,8 MPa. Minimum water pressure can be established by measuring the quantity of poured out water. 3 litres of water must be poured out from completely opened tap in 15 seconds.

If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back wall of the appliance (letters C and H) (C - cold; H – hot). Hot water (a mixture of hot and cold water) is added only on the programs of 60° or more.

354011

If your washing machine features both cold and hot water attachments, but you only wish to connect it to the cold water supply, please remove the hot water inlet hose from the back of the appliance. Then, use the supplied cover to close the hot water inlet. (picture 1) If your washing machine allows connecting both hot and cold water with total Aqua-Stop (option B), but you only wish to connect it to the cold water supply, then seal the hot water tube with a suitable 3/4" plug which is not attached to the machine.

The inlet hose should be tightened manually, firmly enough to prevent any leaks. After tightening the hose, check for any leaks. Use of pliers, wrenches, or other similar tools is not allowed when installing the hose, as these tools can damage the nut thread.

AQUA - STOP

(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. In such cases display (A) turns red. Inlet pipe must be replaced.

POPOLNI AQUA - STOP

(CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. Protection system will also detect whether there is any water leakage in the washing machine interior. In such cases, washing is suspended, water supply is cut off, and machine switches on the pump and signals an error.

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into the water, because it contains the electric valve!

354011

WATER OUTLET CONNECTION

Fix the drain hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or connect it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm). The end of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60 cm and maximum 100 cm above the floor level. It can be attached in three ways (A, B, C).

max 150 cm

Outlet hose

can be led into a wash basin or a bathtub. Use a string to attach the hose to the opening in the elbow support to prevent it from slipping to the floor.

max 100 cm

min 60 cm
