For your machine to work quietly and without any vibration, it should it be settled
on a flat, non-slippery and tough ground.
Loosen the plastic adjustment nut.
Adjust the feet upward and downward by rotating them clockwise and anti

When the correct balance has been achieved, tighten the plastic adjustment nut
again by rotating it upwards.
Never put cardboard, wood or other materials under your machine to try and
stabilise the unit.
Electrical connection
Your washing machine is set to 220-240V and 50Hz.

plug. This plug should always be inserted to a grounded socket of 13 amps. The
current value of the fuse should be 10 amps.
We do not take responsibility for any damage that occurs due to
ungrounded usage.

Water inlet connection
Only a qualified engineer should install this machine
Your machine has a single water (cold) inlet.
To prevent 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 bracketed end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve at the
rear of the machine and the other end to your tap.
Water pressure of 0,1-1 MPa from your tap will enable your machine to work more
efficiently, (0,1 MPa pressure means water flow of more than 8 litres in 1 minute
from a fully opened tap).
After all connections are completed, check for leakages around the connection
joints by turning on your tap completely and seeing if any water escapes.
Be sure that water inlet hose is not folded, broken or crushed.
Mount the water inlet hose to a 3”/4 geared water tap.
Water discharge connection
Be sure that the water inlet hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or elongated by
stretching.
The 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 can be fitted directly to the drainage hole.
Never attempt to extend the water drain hose by adding extra parts.
