Remove the transport bolts
Before using this washing machine, the transport bolts must be removed from the backside of the
machine. Loosen all bolts with spanner and then remove them and keep the transport bolts properly
for future use/transport. Plug the holes with the transit bolts caps supplied.
- Once unscrewed the screws pull out the locking screws including a bushing and spacer as shown
in Figure 1-3.
- Close up the holes with the supplied caps as shown in Figure 4.
Installation – place requirements -
- The device must be installed in a clean place, where dirty does not build up.
- A concrete floor is the most suitable installation surface for a washing machine, being far less
prone to vibration during the spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a carpeted surface.
- The machine must be level and securely positioned.
- Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
- Do not place near heaters, next to a stove or any other heat sources.
- Avoid installation at locations with high humidity (e.g. outdoors), as metal parts would be suscepti-
ble to corrosion under such circumstances.
- Do not install in rooms where the temperature could drop below freezing. Do not expose the device
any weather.
- Do not place the device near volatile or combustible materials (e.g. gas, fuel, alcohol, paint, etc.).
- Only place on a steady and safe surface in order to reduce vibration and noise to a minimum.
- If the ground is evidently uneven (the maximum allowed tilt angle is 2°), it must be balanced; oth-
erwise the unit is wrong, vibrates or moves.
- If the floor is uneven, adjust the adjustable feet.
- Good ventilation around the unit is required so the heat can be derived correctly. The distance be-
tween the machine and wall must be more than 10 cm.
- The mains plug must be freely accessible.

Feet Adjustment (level adjustment)
Take care to a firm and horizontal position of the washing machine. If the machine moves, adjusts the
feet. Loosen the locknuts with a spanner.
Adjust the feet: Using the spanner, turn it locknut in a clockwise direction. Then turn locknuts togeth-
er with adjust feet to unscrew. Hold adjusts feet securely with a pipe wrench. Turn locknut again using
the spanner until it sits firmly up against the housing. Use a spirit level to check the machine is stand-
ing level.
The machine must stand perfectly level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect
installation may increase electricity and water consumption and may cause the machine to move
about.
NOTE:
- The locknuts must be tightened after adjustment. Any looseness can cause vibration and noise.
- The feet must never be removed. Do not restrict the floor clearance through deep pile carpets,
strips of wood or similar. This might cause heat build-up which would interfere with the operation of
the appliance.
Water Connection
Install the Water Inlet Hose (Cold Water)
Use the new included inlet hose to connect the machine at the water supply (cold water). Old hose-
sets should not be reused. Installation should comply with local water authority and building regulation
requirements.
- Connect the water supply hose to the tap with a 3/4"thread and tighten it firmly to the right.
- Connect the other end of the inlet hose to the inlet valve on the back of the device and tighten it
firmly to the right too.
NOTE: If a leak develops remove the inlet hose and reconnect. Connect to a standard water tap.
Install the Water Drain Hose
There are two ways to place the end of drain hose:
- 1. Hang into a sink or trough.
- 2. Connect it to the branch drain pipe of the trough.
1. If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place.
Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required, ensure a loop is formed in
the drain hose to prevent waste from the sink entering the washing machine.

S TARTUP / O PERATION
Prior to First Use
- Make sure the power voltage at your place is same to the rating label at the device.
- Remove the accessories and any material from the drum.
- Clean the drum (see ‘Cleaning and Care’)
- Before using your washing machine for the first time let it run one washing cycle without laundry:
- Connect the power and turn on the tap.
- Fill a little detergent into the drawer and close it.
- Turn on the washing machine by selecting the programme ‘Cotton 60°C’.
- Press the ‘Start/Pause’ button.
It can remove the water which is left in the tube because of manufacturer’s checking out.
Preparation of Clothes
- Check the pockets of the clothes to be washed, empty the rigid items such as decorations and
coins, otherwise washing machine may be damaged or have abnormal troubles.
- Sort your laundry before placing it in the washing machine.
- Consider the symbols in the washing instructions on care label. Clothes are differentiated in cotton,
blended fabric, synthetics, silk, wool and synthetic fibers.
- Separate in white and colored laundry. Wash all new clothing separately.
- Wash clothes of similar size together for better economy.
- Wash delicate clothes separately. New wool fabrics, curtains and silk must be treated like deli-
cates. Observe the washing instructions in all clothes.
- Remove hooks from curtains.
- Decorations on clothes can damage your washing machine. Turn buttons and embroidery inside
out.
- Close zippers, buttons and hooks. Tie bands and ribbons together.
- We recommend placing for instance bras inside a pillowcase to prevent damage.
- Delicate textiles such as laced curtains, straightjackets, small articles (tight socks, handkerchiefs,
ties etc.) shall be put into string bag for washing.
- Washing large and heavy parts such as bath towels, jeans, lined jackets and the like can cause the
drum to run unbalanced. We recommend adding one or two smaller parts; this especially helps with
the spinning cycle.
- The clothes which easily get fuzzed shall be washed separately; otherwise the other articles can be
stained with dust and thrum etc. Preferably, black clothes and cotton clothes shall be washed sepa-
rately because they can easily get stained with the thrums of other colors when being washed to-
gether.
- Clean away dusts, stains and pet hairs from the clothes.
Please pay attention with regard to detergents
- Use only “slightly foaming” detergent for washing machines according to type of fabric (cotton, syn-
thetics, lined or woolen products), color, washing temperature and degree of soiling. Otherwise
foaming can cause overflowing.
- Bleach is alkaline and can damage your clothing, preferably does not use bleach.
- Detergents often leave residue in the clothes, which can cause bad odor if not rinsed properly.
- Detergent cannot easily get dissolved completely if there is too much detergent or water tempera-
ture is rather low. It can remain in clothes, pipes and washing machines to pollute the clothes.
Washing shall follow the weight of clothes, dirty degrees, local water hardness as well as the recom-
mendations from the detergent manufacturers. Please consult the water company if you are not clear
of water hardness.
ATTENTION: Keep detergents and additives in safe and dry places out of touch by kids.
Using the detergent drawer
Open the drawer.
- Add the detergent into the pre-wash compartment marked I.
- Add adequate detergent into main wash compartment marked II .
- NOTE: It is recommended to use low foaming powder.
- Add the fabric softener into compartment marked .
- Close the detergent drawer.

10
09/2013
NOTE:
- The dispenser is suitable for the use of washing powder in pre- and main- wash cycle!
- To avoid overflowing dissolve your washing powder in a bit of water in case it is clotted.
- Follow the manufacturer’s dosage information.
Clothing, which are not suitable for the washing machines:
- Ties, waistcoats, outerwear, etc. can shrink.
- Colored clothes can discolor.
- Pleated clothes, embossed or synthetic fibers can also shrink. Cotton and wool, silk and fur can
shrink and crease;
- Ornamented evening attire and traditional clothing easily discolors.
- Do not wash clothes without washing instructions.
- Washing machine shall not wash water-proof materials (ski suits, outside napkin pads, curtains):
As for the fiber products that water cannot get soaked easily into such as water-proof cushions,
and clothes, it is better not to wash. Otherwise there will be water bursting out or abnormal vibra-
tion to cause danger while rinsing and draining so that the clothes also may be damaged.
ATTENTION: Do not wash clothes soaked in petrol, thinners, alcohol or solvents.
Fill in the Laundry
- Unravel the clothes before putting them into the machine.
- Unfold the laundry and load loosely in the drum. Mixing both large and small items gives better
wash results and also helps distribute the load evenly during spinning.
- Each loading should correspond to the rated capacity of the machine.
Do not overload the machine.
- Different strengths / sizes / types of laundry can affect the actual loading capacity of the machine.
It is advisable to load the machine with only the amount of clothes that normal circulation is possi-
ble during washing.
- The most efficient use of energy and water is achieved when a full load is washed.
However, do not overload as this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
- Make sure that no laundries are caught between the door and the seal.
NOTE: The machine is fitted with a balance control device, which ensures the machine is stable
during the spin. To protect the machine, it will cut in if the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum.
The laundry is redistributed by reverse rotation of the drum. This may happen several times before the
unbalance disappears and normal spinning can resume.
