(C).
(P)
Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to
reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved
again in the future.
Never move the product without the transportation safety
bolts properly fixed in place!
The water supply pressure required to run the product is
between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to
have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open
tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly.
Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is
higher.
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product
(cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the
as a single
supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating
the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a
blind stopper group.)
warning: Models with a single water inlet should not be
connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry
will get damaged or the product will switch to protection
mode and will not operate.
warning: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the
new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
2.3 Removing the transportation locks

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when
tightening the nuts.
Washing Machine / User’s Manual
3. Open the taps completely after making the hose
connection to check for water leaks at the connection
points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the
nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To
prevent water leakages and damages caused by them,
keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.
2.5 Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to
the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.
warning: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes
out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there
A
is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures!
To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40
cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor
level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the
ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow
the heights described in the figure.
• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine
and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose
end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more
than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be
stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between
the drain and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding
an original extension hose. Length of the hose may
not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures,
the connection between the extension hose and the
drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an
appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.
2.6 Adjusting the feet
warning: In order to ensure that the product operates
more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and
A
balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting
the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place
and cause crushing and vibration problems.
1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and
balanced.
3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.
warning: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts.

3 Preparation
3.1 Sorting the laundry
• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and
degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.
3.2 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments such as,
underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will
damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash
the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow
case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins,
pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and
brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause
noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon
stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove
curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and
tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled
products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark
coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If
unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers
suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions
on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer
for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour,
lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off
before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders
on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the
machine in time and can cause damage.
3.3 Things to be done for energy saving
Following information will help you use the product in an
ecological and energy-efficient manner.
• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by
the programme you have selected, but do not overload;
see, "Programme and consumption table".
• Always follow the instructions on the detergent
packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly
soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry
that is not heavily soiled or stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the
highest spin speed recommended during washing
process.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount
recommended on the detergent package.
3.4 Initial use
Before starting to use the product, make sure that all
preparations are made in accordance with the instructions in
sections “Important safety instructions” and “Installation”.
