INSTALLATION
Removing transit bolts
Before operating the washing machine,
remove the 4 transit bolts and rubber
spacers from the back of the machine.
If the bolts are not removed, it will
cause heavy vibration, noise and
product malfunction, (invalidating the
guarantee).
For this reason, the transit bolts should be
loosened by being rotated counterclockwise
using an appropriate wrench.
The transit bolts are removed by
pulling out.
Fit the plastic transit bolt caps (in the
accessories bag) into the holes left by the
removal of the transit bolts.
The transit bolts should be stored to be
used in case of future transportation.
REMEMBER - You must remove the
transit bolts of your machine
before rst use. Faults occurring
to the machine if operated with
transit bolts tted will be out of
scope of warranty.

0333 3052260
INSTALLATION
Adjusting the feet
Do not install your machine on a carpet or
anything that will prevent ventilation under
the base.
To ensure silent and vibration-free operating
of your machine, it should be sited on a
non-slippy rm oor.
You can adjust the level of your machine
by the adjustable feet.
Loosen the plastic adjustment nut.
Adjust the feet upwards or downward by
rotating them.
After maintaining the level, compress the
plastic adjustment nut upwards again.
REMEMBER - The appliance must
be level
Never put cardboard, wood or
other materials under your machine
if you are trying to level any
distortion in the oor.
When cleaning the oor, on which
your machine stands, be careful not
to disturb the balance of the
machine.

0333 3052260
INSTALLATION
Installation (Electrical Connection)
Your washing machine is set to 220-240V and 50Hz.
The mains cord of your washing machine is equipped with a
specic earthed plug. This plug should always be inserted to an
earthed socket of 13 amps. The rating of the fuse should be 13 amps.
NOTE: Operating your machine below the recommended
voltage will cause the life cycle of your appliance to be
reduced and its performance to be restricted.
Installation (Water Inlet Hose Connection)
Your machine may have either a single inlet (cold) or
double water inlets (cold/hot) based on its specications.
A white-capped hose should be connected to the cold
water inlet and a red-capped hose to a hot water inlet
(applicable for machines with double water inlets).
To eliminate water leakages in the connection points, 1
or 2 nuts are provided in the hose package (applicable for
machines with double water inlets). Fit these nuts to the
ends of new water inlet hoses on the tap end of the hose.
Connect the new water inlet hoses to a 3/4 “, threaded
inlet pipe.
Connect the white-elbow end of the water inlet hoses
to the white ltered water inlet valve on the rear side of
the machine and the red-elbow end to the red-ltered
one (applicable for machines with double water inlets).
Tighten plastic parts of the junctions using your hand. If
you are unsure of this process get the work done by a
qualied plumber.
Flow of water with pressure of 0.1-1 Mpa will allow
your machine to operate more efciently. (0,1 Mpa
pressure means that more than 8 litres of water will ow
per minute).
Ensure that the new water inlet hoses are not bent, broken, crushed or the wrong
size.
If your machine has a hot water connection, the temperature of the water inlet
should be maximum 70 Degrees Centigrade.
NOTE: Use only the new water inlet hose supplied with your machine while
making water inlet hose connections. Never use old, used or damaged water
inlet hoses.

0333 3052260
INSTALLATION
Installation (Water Discharge Connection)
The end of the water discharge hose can be
tted to a specic outlet pipe.
Never attempt to extend the water discharge
hose by joining two pieces of hose.
Do not put the discharge hose of your machine
into a bucket or sink.
Make sure that the water discharge hose does
not bend, buckle, become squashed or stretched.
Please note:
The water drain hose should be mounted at a
height of minimum 60cm, and maximum of
100cm from the ground.

Main wash detergent compartment:
In this compartment, use only detergent (liquid or
powder). Limescale remover can be used.
Fabric conditioner, starch, detergent compartment:
You may use fabric softener for your laundry (recommended
amount and type by the manufacturer). Sometimes the fabric
conditioners you use for your laundry may remain in this
compartment. The reason for this is that the conditioner is
not viscous. To prevent this situation, more viscous liquid
softeners are recommended to be used or the softener could
be thinned and then used.
Pre-wash detergent compartment:
This compartment must only be used when the pre-wash
feature is selected. The Pre-wash feature is
recommended for very dirty laundry.
Select the program you wish to use with the program knob. Set the program
selection operation by rotating the program knob in either direction. Ensure that the
program knob is exactly on the program you want to use.

WASHING YOUR LAUNDRY
Preliminary Preparation of Laundry
Laundry has product labels on them that state their specications. Wash
or dry your laundry according to the specications on the product label.
Separate your laundry according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, wool etc), their temperatures (cold, 30º, 40º, 60º, 90º) and
degree of contamination (slightly stained, stained, highly stained).
Never wash your coloured and white laundry together.
Wash your coloured laundry separately in the rst washing as colours
may run.
Ensure that there are no metallic materials in your laundry or in pockets.
CAUTION: Faults that emerge due to foreign objects in the
machine will not be included in the scope of warranty.
Zip up and button up clothes.
Remove the metallic or plastic hooks from curtains.
Turn items such as pants, knitwear, t-shirt and sweat shirts inside out.
Place socks, handkerchiefs and suchlike small laundry in a washing net.
13
Putting Laundry in the Machine
- Open the door of your machine.
- Spread your laundry in your machine.
NOTE: Maximum loading capacity may vary based
on the laundry type you will wash, degree of
contamination and the program you have chosen. Do not
exceed maximum dry loading capacity indicated in the
program table for washing programs.
- Put each item of laundry in separately.
- Ensure that no laundry is stuck between the cabinet and click
rubber seal when closing the door of your machine.
- Push the door of your machine until you hear the locking
sound.
- Close the door of your machine properly, otherwise the
machine will not start.
Adding detergent to the machine
The amount of detergent put into the machine will depend on the following criteria:
- Only use detergents produced specically for automatic washing machines. The
amount of detergent to be used for your laundry is printed on the detergent packet.
- The higher the degree of hardness of the water the more detergent you need to use.
- Put the fabric softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer. Do not
exceed the MAX level.
- Softeners with high density (thick) will need to be thinned before being put into the
drawer. High-density (thick) softeners can clog the compartment and prevent the ow of
the softener.
- You can use liquid detergents in all programs. For this, t the liquid detergent level
plate found in the accessories bag or the liquid detergent apparatus (*) into the 2nd
compartment of the detergent drawer and set the amount of liquid detergent according
to the levels on this plate. Remember to remove the liquid detergent plate.
