Cautions

• Be sure to remove transport brackets prior ﬁ rst 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 brand new water inlet hose and appropriate sealing gaskets (attached).

• Do not locate the machine in a room with temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may be damaged if frozen.

• Install the washing machine in a perfectly horizontal position, on solid ﬂ at concrete ﬂ oor.

• Follow the instructions for correct installation and water and mains connections.

• 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.

• Door may not be open during the washing cycle.

• We recommend running the self-cleaning program before the ﬁ rst 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 discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or coloring 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.

• 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 washing operation close the water faucet.

• Before any transport block the machine by inserting at least one transport blocking rod. Prior this operation disconnect the appliance from the mains power!

Installation and connection

Package removal

Removal of transport brackets

In removing the wrapping be careful not to damage the

appliance with a sharp object.

Before connecting the appliance, let it warm up to room

temperature (wait for two hours).

• Our appliances are packed in environmentally friendly materials which may be recycled, deposited or decomposed without any threat to the environment.

• To this end all wrappings are marked accordingly.

• Move the pipes.

• Loosen screws (A) at the rear of the machine (Fig. 1).

• Remove the brackets (B) (Fig. 1) and slide them into the groove on the blocking rod (Fig. 2) - the right one should be turned around.

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

• Close the openings with attached plastic pegs.

Save transport brackets for eventual later use.

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Leveling the appliance

Be sure to remove the transport brackets prior ﬁ rst use,

otherwise the appliance may be permanently damaged. In such cases the warranty conditions are void.

• 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 ﬁ rmly (A) - 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.

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.

Page 6

• If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can place it on top of the washing machine.

Water inlet connection

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.

• Take the water inlet hose from the drum and attach the inlet hose angle extension (1) to the washing machine by screwing it onto the provided thread (certain models only).

• Insert the gasket with a ﬁ lter net into the straight inlet hose attachment nut (2) and screw the nut onto the water tap. (With some models, the gasket with ﬁ lter net is already ﬁ tted and any additional ﬁ tting into the nut on the straight attachment is not required).

• 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).

The inlet hose should be tightened manually, ﬁ rmly

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.

Partial Aqua-stop (water stop system)

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.

390909

Complete 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. Security system also detects whether there is any water leakage within the interior of the machine. In such cases washing is suspended, machine switches on the pump and signals error.

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into the

water, because it contains the electric valve!

Page 7

Water outlet connection

• Fix the outlet hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or connect it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm).

• Wall drain must be installed properly and must enable occasional cleaning.

• Fasten the outlet hose support with a piece of rope led through the hose elbow, to prevent the hose from slipping to the ﬂ oor.

The end of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60

cm and maximum 100 cm above the ﬂ oor level.

Connect the appliance to the mains supply

• Plug the mains power cable to the wall mains socket.

• Required voltage and other information are written on the rating plate above the door opening of the machine.

The wall socket must be accessible at all times and

must be equipped with an earth lead (in accordance with the local safety regulations).

The permanent connection must be ﬁ tted by an

authorized personnel only.

Damaged mains power cable may be replaced only by

the producer or his authorized personnel.

Never plug the appliance into the electric shaver socket

or hair dryer socket.

Tips for washing and energy saving

• Before washing sort out the laundry according to the type, degree of dirtiness and color resistance.

• Prior selecting the washing program consult the sewn tab with information on a particular piece of laundry (see Maintenance Chart on the last page).

• Wash separately the new colored textile products for the ﬁ rst time.

• Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities and add more detergent.

• Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it will save energy.

• With lightly stained laundry select washing program without pre-wash, use short program and select lower washing temperature. This way you may save up to 50% of energy.

• Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry because of energy saving and for better performances of the appliance.

• The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is indicated in the Program chart.

• Before washing empty the pockets, close zip fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or badges that might clog the drain or damage the laundry or drum interior.

• Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it into the drum.

• Use only detergents for machine wash.

• Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• For different washing temperatures and selected washing programs, please note the recommendations provided by detergent manufacturers.

• If water hardness in your pipeline exceeds 14°dH, we recommend using water softeners. Any damage to the heater due to failure to use a water conditioning agent shall not be covered by this warranty.

• Chlorine-based whitening agents are not recommended, as it can damage the heater.

• To improve your washing results we recommend 2/3 load on Cotton programs.

Hardness scale

1 - Soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150 2 - Medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250 3 - Hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250

In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for degree and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see manufacturer’s instructions).

• If you do not apply the program which includes the pre-wash feature, you may add washing detergent directly into the drum.

• If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment ducts.

• Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser partition gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment. If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down.

• Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without pre-wash.

• Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings, delicate female underwear, etc.) into the special bag.

Degree of hardness

• High spin RPM leave less moisture in laundry which dries out much quicker in the tumble dryer, thereby saving energy.

Do not put clods of detergent into the soap dispenser

as the tube in the washing machine may clog.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the washing machine from the mains

before cleaning!

• The casing should be cleaned with soft cloth and mild detergent.

• The interior of the drum and the door gasket is cleaned by washing at 60°C without laundry and adding half quantity of detergent.

• Frequent, or predominant, washing at low temperatures, using liquid detergents, may result in development of bacteria which causes odor in the washing machine. To prevent this, we recommend running the auto-clean program occasionally (see chapter “OPERATION / selecting additional functions”).

• If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Pull it out from its casing completely by pressing the ﬂ ap (see Fig.).

• If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running water.

390909

Page 18

• Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing.

• Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing chamber.

• Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running water.

• After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong its useful life.

• Open the ﬁ lter lid using ﬂ at screwdriver or similar tool.

390909

• Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily shaggy or old laundry.

Page 19

• Carefully turn the ﬁ lter insert in anticlockwise direction and let the water slowly drain; then remove the ﬁ lter and clean it under running water.

• Insert the ﬁ lter back as shown on the picture, and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.

Troubleshooting

Washing machine controls the operation of particular functions during washing. If irregularities are detected, the fault is signaled by displaying a message (Fx) on the display, and by rhythmical ﬂ ashing of the LEDs. The machine signals the fault as soon as it is detected, and the program progress is paused. If the fault is in the heating system, the machine completes the washing program, but without the heating function.

If the fault is signaled during washing machine operation, the error code and remaining washing time are indicated alternately on the display. The fault is indicated until the washing machine is turned off.

Failures: 2 - Two ﬂ ashes: door is not correctly closed 3 - Three ﬂ ashes: inappropriate water intake 7 - Seven ﬂ ashes: inappropriate water outlet. In these cases, you will be able to remedy the failure by yourself (See Troubleshooting table).

1 - One ﬂ ash: temperature sensor failure 4 - Four ﬂ ashes: spinning sensor failure 5 - Five ﬂ ashes: motor failure 6 - Six ﬂ ashes: Heater failure In these cases, turn off the machine, then turn it back on and repeat the program. If the failure reoccurs, contact your nearest authorized service center. The LEDs will continue to ﬂ ash until the machine is turned off.

390909

Page 20

Various interferences from the environment (e.g. electric devices) may also cause the machine to signal faults. In such case:

- turn off the appliance and wait a few seconds;

- turn on the appliance and repeat the washing program. If the fault reoccurs, call the service center.

The warranty does not cover faults caused by interference from the environment (lightning strike, electric circuit, natural disasters, etc.).

the dispenser dish. Unpleasant smell in the

washing machine drum.

• Remains of fabrics, washing agent and softener in the ﬁ lter.

• Development of germs

• Check whether the ﬁ lter is clean.

• Run the auto-clean program (see chapter: selecting additional functions)

Washing time is longer than usual. Time indicated on the display is corrected during the washing cycle.

• Low temperature of inlet water.

• Due to unevenly distributed load, the machine has activated the UKS*.

• Low mains voltage.

• There has been a failure in the power supply.

• Washing program time may be up to 60% longer; however, this does not imply a fault in the machine.

• Washing time is extended by the power supply down-time.
