1 Loose all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely (C).
2 Remove the transport safety bolts by turning them slightly.
3 Insert the plastic covers in the bag containing the user manual to the openings on
the rear panel. (P)
A
CAUTION: Remove the transportation safety bolts before operating the washing machine!
Otherwise, the product will be damaged.
C
Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to
be moved again in the future.
Install the transport safety bolts in reverse order of the disassembly procedure.
Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!
4.4.4 Connectng water supply
C
The 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.
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.)
A
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on
your laundry.
Connect the special water supply 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.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when
the product is being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot
at the end of the washing process and wear out.

1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
2 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak problems at the
connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and
remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to
prevent the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do
not use the product.

• Attachtheendofthedrainhosedirectlytowastewaterdrain,lavatoryorbathtub.
A
CAUTION: Your drain 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! In order to
prevent such situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge
processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock
hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to
be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not
