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.
• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less
than 65 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 15cm.
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 3.2m. 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.
•
•• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 65 cm, and 100 cm at most.

6.1.2. 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 colors and whites together. New, dark colored 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/color changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always
follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• 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.
