Before Use
This instruction manual was prepared for the
user of the washing machin e. Read the manual
carefully and get to know your washing
machine so that you will know how to use it
safely and correctly.
This instruction manual was prepar ed for various
models of washing machine, and they vary in
function and design. Make sure to cons ider only
those switches and knobs your machine is
equipped with.
• When you find your appliance is out of use and
no longer needed, try not to burden the
environment with it. Call your nearest
authorized "collecting service for used
appliances".
Tips for Energy Savings
Through correct use and considering our
recommendations, you can make substantial
energy savings.
For economical washing, always refer to the
table of programmes with recom mended wash
loads.
• Skip the pre-wash whenever possible (if laundr y
is lightly soiled).
• Laundry which was usually washed at 95°C may
be washed at 60°C when using either the TAED
washing agent (bleaching agent activator) or
concentrated washing agents (any of the
...SUPER or ...ULTRA).
• Use an adequate washing agent, and always
consider the recommended amount, and pay
attention to water hardness and degree of
soiling.
• In the course of time (depending on water
hardness) lime deposits on the heater and inside
the appliance. This increases the consumption of
energy for heating water. Occasionally remove
the lime deposit with a special agent.
52
Instructions for Use
Important
Before putting the machine into use, don't
forget to remove the transport brackets.
Switching on a blocked machine may damag e
the machine. Our guarantee does not cover
such damage.
• Before switching the machine on, check that the
transport brackets has been removed.
• Don't place the appliance in a room where the
temperature may fall bellow 0°C, causing
individual parts of the machine to freeze and
become damaged (hose may crack).
• The appliance should stand firmly and
horizontally on a solid base (a machine standing
on an uneven floor is very likely to vibrate during
the spinning cycle).
• Always consider the instructions for correct
placing and installation of the machine to the
mains and water supply. This will help you avoid
accidents and protect your machine against
damage.
• The appliance is to be connected to the water
mains using new hose-sets and that old
sets should not be reused.
• The appliance my not be built-in under the
kitchen worktop in a row of cabinets,
because the use of the appliance without
the top cover is not allowed for safety
reasons. Likewise, the removal of the rear
panel and the bottom of the appliance are
also not allowed.
• The appliance should be positioned in such way
to provide normal ventilation.
• The end of the outlet hose should not be
immersed in the discharge water (the machine
may pump the discharge water back).
• During the washing cycle, the door of the
machine cannot be opened. It can only be
opened 2 minutes after washing is finished.
• The glass door gets very hot during washing, so
take care of children.
• Use only washing powder and other agents
specially designed for machine washing.
We do not take any responsibility for damage
caused by the improper use of bleaching or
colouring agents (coloured gasket and other
plastic parts).
• Lime dissolving agents contain acid, so only use
those containing rust-protection agents. Always
consider the manufacturer's instructions. When
you have finished removing lime deposit, run a
few rinse cycles to make sure that the acid is
thoroughly rinsed. Even traces of acid can cause
substantial damage to component parts.
• Never use washing agents containing solvents individual component parts m ay be damaged or
toxic gases may be produced. There is also a
risk of ignition or explosion.
hose-
• When washing is finished, remember to close
the tap.
• Your washing machine can only be transported
with transport brackets. It is usually enough to
use only one of the rods, that is the upper one. It
is much easier to insert the rod if you remove the
top cover. Before doing anything, however, don't
forget to disconnect the mac hine from the power
supply.
• Data plate with essential information on the
appliance is fitted above the opening for laundry
insertion under the door frame.
Instructions for Use
53
Removing the Transport Brackets
The washing assembly is blocked with two metal
rods which protect the machine during transport
(fig.1).
• Undo the screws on the rear wall (fig. 2).
• Remove the squares, rotate them 180° and
use them to pull out the rods (fig. 3).
• Disengaged parts may remain at the bottom
since they do not obstruct the operation of the
machine (4 rubber hoses and 4 paper spools).
• Use the enclosed plastic caps to plug the holes
(fig. 4).
Save the brackets: you may need them later.

If the floor is uneven, use the adjustable feet to
level the machine.
• Undo the nuts. Rotate the feet to level the
machine (fig. 5).
• Fix the nuts (fig. 5.1).
Maximum height of the washing machine is
850 mm.
IMPORTANT
The floor on which the mac hine stands should be
dry, otherwise the machine may slide during the
spinning cycle.
Connection to the Water Supply
The elbow connection of the inlet hose is fixed to
the coupling on the rear wall of the appliance.
Insert a rubber washer with a net (filter) into a nut
on the other end of the hose, and fix the hose to a
tap. To ensure efficient operation, the water
pressure of the water supply should be between
0.5 and 8.0 bars.
If the pressure exceeds the maximum allowed
limit, fit a pressure regulator. (O pen the tap fully in 15 seconds, 3 litres of water should pour out;
and this is the minimum pressure of the water
supply).
hot cold
IMPORTANT
The highest allowed temperature of hot water is
60°C.
Water Outlet
Hook the outlet hose securely over the edge of the
washbasin or bath tub. The outlet hose can also be
connected directly to the plumbing outlet, the
diameter of which should be not less than 4 cm
(fig. 7).
Wall s iphon drain must be correctly fitted in such
manner to enable cleaning.
If water is drained through a washbasin, always
check it is drained quick ly enough, otherwise an
overflow may occur or the machine may pump
the water back. Pull a string through the hole on
the plastic knee, and secure the outlet hose to
prevent it from falling off (fig. 8).
Connection to cold water
Insert the enclosed washer with filter into the loose
end of the hose and connect the hose to water tap
(fig. 6).
Connection to hot/cold water
Washing m achines designed f or the connection to
hot/cold water are equipped with two inlet hoses.
The attachment and the inlet hose for hot water are
marked with red colour.
Insert the enclosed washers with filter into the
loose ends of the hoses and connect the red
marked hose to hot water tap and the other hose
to cold water tap (fig. 6.1).
Instructions for Use
The end of the outlet hose should be raised fr om
the floor by not more than 100 cm and not less
than 60 cm. If the hose is pos itioned higher than
recommended, the m ac hine will not pum p out the
water.

Connect the appliance to the power supply with a
cable cord. The wall socket should be equipped
with an earth contact (safety socket).
Fixed connection should be carried out by an
expert.
Rated voltage, frequency and other data are
listed on the rating plate of the machine.
Your washing machine should be grounded
and connected to the power supply according
to local electricity board regulations and
standards.
The Door
WARNING!

replaced by the manufacturer or his s ervic e agent
or a qualified person in order to avoid hazard.
• The appliance should be placed in the position,
where the plug is within reach.
The door can only be opened two minutes after
the washing programme has finished.
Open the door by pulling the door handle (fig. 9).
When closing the door, push it towards the
machine until it locks (fig. 10).
If the door is not correctly closed, the machine will
not operate.
IMPORTANT
• When closing the door, be careful not to trap
fabric between the door glass and the rubber
gasket.
• If you need to open the door after the machine
has been switched on, first switch it off and wait
for about two minutes.
When opening the door, be careful, as the
water level may be high and water may pour out
when you open the door.
• Don't even try to open the door while the
machine is operating.
• If the machine won't start after switching on,
push the door once again towards the m achine
(at handle).
• An inadequately closed door is the most
common cause of malfunctions.
Direction of Opening the Door
Certain models of appliances allow the possibility
of changing the direction of door opening. This is
an option that has to be ordered separately and
paid for by the customer.

Instructions for Use
Preparing the Laundry
11
Sort the laundry before washing according to the
type, quality, colour and soil degree of the laundry.
Type of Fabrics
Most clothes nowadays have labels describing the
type of fabric they are made of, the kind of
recommended wash, and the recommended
washing temperature.
These labels will help you choose the most
suitable washing programme for your clothes.
Put delicate laundry (stockings, fine underwear...)
into a sack or into a pillow case if washed
together with other laundry.
WASHING
White laundry - resi stant.
Coloured laundry - resistant
Fine and delicate laundry
Hand wash.
No washing.
DRY CLEANING
Dry cleaning.
Dry cleaning not allowed.
DRYING
Drying in tumble drier allowed.
Higher temperature (resistant laundry)
Lower temperature (delicate laundry)
Drying in tumble drier not all owed.
IRONING
Ironing: up to 200°C - up to 150°C - up to 110°C
No ironing
Loading
The maxim um load of dry laundry is stated in the
table.
Excessive loads cause cr eases and dec rease the
washing effect.
Always check the pockets before loading the
laundry. Remove keys, coins, hair-pins and
similar objects that may clog the water outlet
hose.
Zip the zippers and remove metal pins that may
damage the laundry or even the drum (fig. 11).
Folded clothes should be loosened before
loading.
The best washing ef fect is ob tained by mixing
larger and smaller items of laundry in one
load.
Colour Fastness
Pay special attention to colour fastness, and
always choose the correct washing temperature.
When washing new clothes, always check colour
fastness first - wash separately the first time.
Degree of Soil
Stained and heavily soiled laundry should be
washed in small loads or with a larger amount of
washing powder.
Heavily stained or soiled areas on the fabric can
be treated before washing using special agents.
Use the energy-saving programme for lightly
soiled laundry (no pre-wash, economic
programme, lower washing temperature).
Instructions for Use
57
Washing Agents and How Much to Use
12
13
Use only washing powder for machine washing.
Use special washing agents for delicate and
woollen fabrics.
This washing machine was designed for washing
powder as well as for liquid detergent. As to the
quantity of the washing agent, refer to the
manufacturer's recommendation. The quantity of
washing agent recommended on the packaging is
usually sufficient for 4.5 to 5 kg of norm ally soiled
laundry, depending on the hardness degree.
Hardness degrees Degrees of hardness
(Water hardness) °dH(°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m.
(soft)
(medium)
(hard)
(wery hard)
If your water is hard, we recomm end using water
softener. This means that you can then use the
same quantity of washing powder as if the water
was soft (hardness degree 1). Follow
manufacturer's instruction.

>21 >3,8 >37 >370
Dispenser
Too much washing powder causes
− bubbling,
− reduced agitation and washing effect,
− inadequate rinsing.
We recommend that you gradually decrease or
increase the quantity of washing agent and at the
same time pay attention to the linen.
Fabric Conditioner and Starching
Agent
When using fabric conditioner or starching
agent, always follow the manufacturer's
instructions, but never fill higher than the level
marked on the dispenser. The excess is
immediately poured out before washing and is
therefore pure waste.
When using the high density liquid agent we
recommend m ixing it with water before filling, as
otherwise the dispenser outlet may clog.
In case the dispenser is clogged and the liquid is
not flushed, the dispenser should be washed.
Remove level indicator and wash with brush and
lukewarm water or rinse under the tap (fig. 13).
The detergent dispenser is divided into three
sections (fig. 12). The table of the programme
shows which section to use.
These sections are used for washing powder
This section is used for fabric conditioner and
starching agent.
Always add washing agents before switching on
and keep the dispenser clean and dry, so that the
washing agent can be efficiently rinsed from the
ispenser.
With programmes without a pre-wash cycle,
the washing powder can be put directly in the
drum. This is especially convenient if:
− you use larger amounts of washing powder (very
hard water),
− you use washing powder which is hard to rinse
from the dispenser,
− water pressure is low,
− you use a concentrated washing powder special
dosing sack which should be ins erted directly in
the drum.
Not enough washing powder causes
− the laundry to turn grey,
− greasy clots,
− lime deposit in the machine and on the laundry.
Never use both fabric conditioner and starching
agent together, as clots may clog the dispenser
opening.
58
Instructions for Use
Liquid Washing Agents
(for some models only)
If the washing machine is equipped with partition
plate, the middle section may also be used for
liquid washing agents.
Lift the partition plate when using washing
powders and push it in when using liquid
detergent.
We recommend using liquid detergent with
washing programme without prewash.

B
B
A
Programmes for non-delicates (A-F)
Programmes are intensive and concluded with
6-minutes spin cycle.
Programmes for delicates (G-L)
Programmes with gentle tumbling and are
concluded with short spin cycle (2 minutes).
Programme for Woolens (M)
Programme for woolens may as well be used for
washing delicates and specials. Laundry is
washed with higher water level and gentle
tumbling. The programme is concluded with 2
minutes spin cycle.
Spinning with interruptions
(only for models with 800 rpm. or more)
On programmes for resistant laundr y the first two
spinning cycles are three times interrupted at the
beginning. This prevents excessive foaming of
the washing powder and improves spinning
results.
On the position marked with a snow flake, the
heaters are switched off and you can select cold
wash on all programmes. The duration of the
programme is the same as if the heaters are on.
60
Instructions for Use
Spinning-OFF Knob
Switch the spinning-OFF knob, if you want
either:
− to switch off the spin cycle on all the
programmes for delicates and woolens;
or
− the programmes for delicates to rinse
without spinning and with short end spin
cycle (2 minutes).
Pump Stop Pushbutton
Use this switch for all programmes, except
for programmes for woolens, if you want
your laundry to remain in the last rinsing
water.
When this pushbutton is off, the washing
programme end with spin cycle.
Extra Rinsing Switch
All washing programmes are designed for
the optimum use of water, during the
washing as well as during the rinsing cycle.
Use the extra rinsing cycle if you are allergic to
washing agents. The switch may be pressed
either before washing or before rinsing.
Half programme switch may be used with all
programmes for non-delicates. On programmes
for delicates and woolens, this switch won't work.

prepare the laundry for washing and press
the ON/OFF switch to switch the machine
on.
Higher water level pushbutton
Washing under programmes for resistant
laundry (programmes A and B) is carried
out with a low water level, the quantity of water is
automatically adjusted to the amount of laundry.
This guarantees successful and economic
washing, regardless of the amount of laundry.
When you are washing laundry that is heavily
soiled or stained, press this pushbutton for a
higher water level for the pre-wash and the m ain
wash.
It is impossible to change the water level in
programmes for delicate linens and woolens.
Half Programme Switch
