the transportation safety bolts
properly fixed in place!
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.
A
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.
Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a
tool when tightening the nuts.
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.
• Drain hose shall be attached to a wall drain,
stand pipe or sink siphon connected to the
foul water drain, do not connect to surface
water drains.
A
WARNING: 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.

Washing Machine / User‘s Manual
Installation
100cm
40cm
• 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

Preparation
4.2 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 especially the glass
door 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” labelled 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.

Preparation
Detergent, softener and other cleaning
agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting
the washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open while
the washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash,
do not put any detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not
put liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash if
you are using a detergent bag or dispensing
ball. Place the detergent bag or the
dispensing ball directly among the laundry in
the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not
forget to place the liquid detergent cup into
the main wash compartment (compartment
nr. "2").
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on
the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special
detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo,
etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and
quilts, it is recommended to use liquid
detergent.
• Wash woollens with special detergent made
specifically for woollens.
A
WARNING: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for washing
machines.
A
WARNING: Do not use Powdered
Soap.
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the degree
of soiling and water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage
quantities recommended on the detergent
package to avoid problems of excessive foam,
poor rinsing, financial savings and finally,
environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or
lightly soiled clothes.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in
the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it
with water before putting it in the detergent
drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent
cup:
• Make sure that you have placed the liquid
detergent cup in compartment nr. "2".
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity,
dilute it with water before putting in the
detergent cup.

Washing Machine / User‘s Manual
Preparation
If the product does not contain a liquid
detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash
in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when
used with Delayed Start function. If you are
going to use the Delayed Start function, do
not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
Apply the following instructions when using
tablet, gel and similar detergents.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and
your machine does not contain a special
liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent
into the main wash detergent compartment
during first water intake. If your machine
contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the
detergent into this cup before starting the
programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal
or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it
directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash
compartment (compartment nr. "2") or
directly into the drum before washing.
C
Tablet detergents may leave residues
in the detergent compartment. If you
encounter such a case, place the tablet
detergent between the laundry, close
to the lower part of the drum in future
washings.
C
Use the tablet or gel detergent without
selecting the prewash function.
Using starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric
dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a
washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp
and clean cloth after using starch.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash and add
the bleaching agent at the beginning of
the prewash. Do not put detergent in the
prewash compartment. As an alternative
application, select a programme with extra
rinse and add the bleaching agent while the
machine is taking water from the detergent
compartment during first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by
mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of
bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very
well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour
the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do
not use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches, select
a programme that washes at a lower
temperature.
• Oxygen based bleaches can be used together
with detergents; however, if its thickness
is not the same with the detergent, put the
detergent first into the compartment nr. "2"
in the detergent drawer and wait until the
detergent flows while the machine is taking
in water. Add the bleaching agent from the
same compartment while the machine is still
taking in water.
Using limescale remover
• When requred, use lmescale removers
manufactured specfcally for washng
machnes only.
