4.4 Installation
• Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the
place of installation is the customer's responsibility.
• Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses as well as the power cable are not
folded, pinched or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or
cleaning procedures.
• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures
carried out by unauthorised persons.
• Prior to installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have
it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.
4.4.1 Approprate nstallaton locaton
• Place the product on a hard and level floor. Do not put it onto a carpet with high pile or
other similar surfaces.
• If the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight –
when loaded– amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the products on a solid and flat floor that
has sufficient load carrying capacity!
• Do not place the product on the power cable.
• Do not install the product in environments where the temperature falls below 0 ºC.
• Leaving a gap at the sides of the machine is suggested to reduce vibration and noise
• On a raised floor, do not place the product next to the edge or on a platform.
• Do not place heat sources such as Hobs, Irons, Ovens, etc. on the washing machine and
do not use them on the product.
4.4.2 Removng packagng renforcement
Tilt the machine backwards to remove the packaging
reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement that is
attached to the ribbon. Do not attempt this operation alone,
get help.

Washng Machne / User’s Manual
4.4.3 Removng the transportaton locks
1 Loose all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
2 Remove the transport safety bolts by rocking them slightly.
3 Insert the plastic covers from the bag containing the user manual into the openings on
the rear panel.
ACAUTION:
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 the reverse order of the disassembly procedure.
Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!
4.4.4 Connectng the 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 litres of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute
to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if the water pressure is
higher.
ACAUTION:
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.
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 are no 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.

Washng Machne / User’s Manual
4.4.5 Connectng the dran hose to the dran
• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to the waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.
ACAUTION:
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.
• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100 cm.
• In case the drain 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.
40 cm
100 cm
• To prevent the waste water going back into the machine again and to ensure easy
drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it
into the drain for 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, add 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/or leak.
4.4.6 Adjustng the feet
ACAUTION:
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 product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.
CAUTION: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.
1 Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
2 Adjust the feet until the product stands in a stable and balanced way.
3. Tighten all lock nuts by hand again.

4.4.7 Electrcal connecton
Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a 13 A fuse. Our company shall not
be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in
accordance with the local regulations.
• Connection must comply with national regulations.
• The wiring for the electrical outlet circuit must be sufficient to meet the appliance
requirements. Use of a Groud Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended.
• Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.
• If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 13 Amps, have a
qualified electrician install a 13 Amp fuse.
• The voltage specified in the “Technical specifications” section must be equal to your
mains voltage.
• Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs.
BWARNING:
Damaged power cables must be replaced by Authorised Service Agents.
Electrical requirements
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the
frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable
switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it
must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from
an Authorised Service Agent.
BWARNING:
This appliance must be earthed
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, a cut off plug with a bare 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 forget to
refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a
replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the
same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any
good electrical store.
