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.)
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. 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

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.
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 leak.

4.4 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 Cotton 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 woollens.
“The wool wash cycle of this machine has been
approved by The Woolmark Company for the washing
of machine washable wool products provided that the
products are washed according to the instructions
on the garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. M1425”
“In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark trade
mark is a Certification trade mark.”
4.5 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
By washing normally soiled cotton and linen laundry
in this programme, you can ensure higher energy and
water efficiency than other cotton programmes do. Actual
water temperature may be different from the stated wash
temperature. While doing the laundry at lesser amounts (e.g.
half capacity or less) duration of the program may reduce
automatically at the later stages of the program. In this
case, energy and water consumption will reduce for a more
economic wash. This feature is provided in the models with
the remaining time indicator.
• BabyProtect
This is a long lasting programme which you may use for
your laundry for which you require an anti-allergic and
hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and
long washing cycle.
