Removing the transportation locks
A Donotremovethetransportationlocksbefore
taking out the packaging reinforcement.
A Removethetransportationsafetyboltsbefore
operating the washing machine, otherwise,
theproductwillbedamaged.
1. Loosenalltheboltswithaspanneruntilthey

Connecting water supply
C Thewatersupplypressurerequiredtorun
theproductisbetween1to10bars(0.1–10
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.
C If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.)
C Ifyouwanttousebothwaterinletsofthe
product, connect the hot water hose after
removing the stopper and gasket group from
the hot water valve. (Applies for the products
suppliedwithablindstoppergroup.)
AModels 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.
A 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.
AEnsure 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
wrench 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.
Connecting to the drain
• Theendofthedrainhosemustbedirectly
connected to the wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
A 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

4EN
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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

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.
Adjusting the feet

Service life of the product extends and
frequentlyfacedproblemsdecreaseifcleaned
at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals
(every4-5washingcycles)asshownbelow
in order to prevent accumulation of powder
detergent in time.
Press the dotted point on the siphon in the
softener compartment and pull towards you
until the compartment is removed from the
machine.
C Ifmorethannormalamountofwaterand
softener mixture starts to gather in the
softener compartment, the siphon must
becleaned.
Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon
withplentyoflukewarmwaterinawashbasin.
Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate
brushtoavoidtouchingoftheresiduesinthe
drawerwithyourskinwhencleaning.Insertthe
drawerbackintoitsplaceaftercleaningand
make sure that it is seated well.
Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake
valve at the rear of the machine and also at
the end of each water intake hose where they
are connected to the tap. These filters prevent
foreignsubstancesanddirtinthewaterto
enterthewashingmachine.Filtersshouldbe
cleaned as they do get dirty.
Close the taps. Remove the nuts of the water
intake hoses to access the filters on the water
intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate
brush.Ifthefiltersaretoodirty,takethemout
bymeansofpliersandcleanthem.Takeout
the filters on the flat ends of the water intake
hoses together with the gaskets and clean
thoroughly under running water. Replace the
gaskets and filters carefully in their places and
tightenthehosenutsbyhand.
Draining remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents solid
itemssuchasbuttons,coinsandfabricfibers
clogging the pump impeller during discharge
ofwashingwater.Thus,thewaterwillbe
dischargedwithoutanyproblemandthe
service life of the pump will extend.
Ifthemachinefailstodrainwater,thepump
filterisclogged.Filtermustbecleaned
whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months.
Watermustbedrainedofffirsttocleanthe
pump filter.
Inaddition,priortotransportingthemachine
(eg., when moving to another house) and in
case of freezing of the water, water may have
tobedrainedcompletely.
A Foreignsubstancesleftinthepumpfilter
