3.4 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.
CIf you are going to use the double water-
inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet
unit, you must install the supplied stopper
to the hot water valve before operating the
product. (Applies for the products supplied
with a blind stopper group.)
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.
AWARNING: Do not use old or used water
inlet hoses on the new product. It may
cause stains on your laundry.
1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the
product to the water inlets on the product. Red
hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet,
blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water
inlet.
AWARNING: Ensure that the cold and hot
water connections are made correctly when
installing the product. Otherwise, your
laundry will come out hot at the end of the
washing process and wear out.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool
when tightening the nuts.
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.

3.5 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

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.
3.6 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

Operating the product
5.2 Preparing the machine
1. Make sure that the hoses are connected tightly.
2. Plug in your machine.
3. Turn the tap on completely.
4. Place the laundry in the machine.
5. Add detergent and fabric softener.
5.3 Programme selection
1. Select the programme suitable for the type,
quantity and soiling degree of the laundry
in accordance with the "Programme and
consumption table" and the temperature table
below.
90˚C
Heavily soiled white cottons and linens.
(coffee table covers, tableclothes, towels,
bed sheets, etc.)
60˚C
Normally soiled, coloured, fade proof
linens, cottons or synthetic clothes (shirt,
nightgown, pajamas, etc.) and lightly soiled
white linens (underwear, etc.)
40˚C-
30˚C-
Cold
Blended laundry including delicate textile
(veil curtains, etc.), synthetics and woolens.
2. Select the desired programme with the
Programme Selection button.
CProgrammes are limited with the highest
spin speed appropriate for that particular
type of fabric.
CWhen selecting a programme, always
consider the type of fabric, colour,
degree of soiling and permissible water
temperature.
CAlways select the lowest required
temperature. Higher temperature means
higher power consumption.
CFor further programme details, see
"Programme and consumption table"
5.4 Main programmes
Depending on the type of fabric, use the following
main programmes.
• Cottons
Use this programme for your cotton laundry (such
as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels,
bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be
washed with vigorous washing action for a longer
washing cycle.
• Synthetics
Use this programme to wash your synthetic
clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends,
etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a
shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons
programme.
For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C
programme with prewash and anti-creasing
functions selected. As their meshed texture causes
excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting
little amount of detergent into the main wash
compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash
compartment.
• Woollens
Use this programme to wash your woolen clothes.
Select the appropriate temperature complying
with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate
detergents for woolens.
5.5 Additional programmes
For special cases, additional programmes are
available in the machine.
CAdditional programmes may differ
according to the model of the machine.
• Cotton Economic
You may wash your normally soiled durable cotton
and linen laundry in this programme with the
highest energy and water saving compared to
all other wash programmes suitable for cottons.
Actual water temperature may differ from the
declared cycle temperature. Programme duration
may automatically be shortened during later stages
of the programme if you wash less amount (e.g. ½
capacity or less) of laundry. In this case energy and
water consumption will be further decreased giving
you the opportunity for a more economical wash.
This feature is available for certain models having
remaining time display.
