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!
2.4 Connecting water supply
CThe 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.
AWARNING: 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.
1. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when
tightening the nuts.
2.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.
AWARNING: Your house will be flooded if the hose
comes out of its housing during water discharge.
Moreover, there 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.

7/ EN Washing Machine / User’s Manual
• 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
AWARNING: Inordertoensurethattheproduct
operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand
level and 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.
AWARNING: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock
nuts.Otherwise,theywillgetdamaged.
