7 / EN Washing Machine / User Manual
4.1.4 Connecting water supply
C
INFORMATION
• 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.
C
INFORMATION
• It is also recommended to attach
a pressure reducing valve if you
experience overflow from the detergent
dispenser during water fill between
3.5 to 10 bars (0.35 to 1 MPa).
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.
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 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.
4.1.5 Connecting the drain
hose to the drain
• 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.
40 cm
100 cm
• 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.
• To prevent the waste water to go 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, 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.

programmes.
A
WARNING
• Use only detergents manufactured
specifically for washing machines.
• Do not use soap powder.
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 less detergent for small loads,
lightly soiled clothes and short duration
programmes, especially in soft water areas.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the
softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it
with water before adding it in the detergent
compartment.
A
WARNING

your product does not contain a special
liquid detergent container, put the gel
detergent into the main wash detergent
compartment during first water intake. If

and clean cloth after using starch.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers
manufactured specifically for washing
machines only.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash and add the
bleach 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 bleach while the
product is taking water from the detergent
compartment during first rinsing step.

them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of
bleach and rinse the clothes very well as it
causes skin irritation.
• Do not pour the bleach onto the laundry.
• Do not use it with the coloured items.
• When using an oxygen-based bleach, select
a programme which washes the laundry at
a low temperature.
• Oxygen-based bleach can be used together
with the detergent. However, if its thickness
is not the same with the detergent, put the
detergent first into the compartment no. "2"
in the detergent drawer and wait until the
detergent flows while the product is taking in
water. While the product continues taking in
water, add bleach in the same compartment.

stages may automatically get shorter. In this case,
energy and water consumption will decrease
more, providing a more economic wash.
