Review information in the user manual and
ensure that the electricity, water supply and
water drainage systems are appropriate. If
they are not, call a qualified technician and
plumber to have any necessary
arrangements carried out.
Appropriate installation location
• Place the machine on a rigid floor that has
sufficient load carrying capacity.
• The machine height is only adjustable at
the front. The machine needs to be
orientated on a floor that is level on either
side and the back is either level or higher
than the front.
• Choose a well ventilated dry location out
of direct sunlight.
• Do not place the machine on the power
cable.
• Do not install the machine at places where
the temperature may fall below 0ºC.
• Place the machine at least 10 cm away
from the edges of other furniture.
• Hot and cold water taps should be located
within 1 metre of the inlet valves.
Connecting the water supply
The water supply pressure required
to run the machine 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 per minute in order to have
your machine run smoothly. Attach
a pressure reducing valve if the
water pressure is higher.
In *models with two water inlet
valve, hot water supply should be
connected to red colour marked
water inlet valve; cold water supply
should be connected to blue colour
marked water inlet valve.
should not be connected to the hot
water tap.
Installation 1. Connect the special hoses supplied with
the machine to the water inlets on the
machine.
Warning: Ensure that the cold
and hot water connections are
made correctly when installing the
machine to prevent your laundry
coming out hot at the end of the
washing process and wearing out.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use
a tool when tightening the nuts.
3. Open the taps completely after completing
the hose connection to check for water
leaks at the connection points. If any
leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove
the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after
checking the seal. To prevent water
leakages and damages caused by them,
keep the taps closed when the machine is
not in use.
• The hose should be attached to a height
of at least 65 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 65 cm above the ground), water
discharge becomes more difficult and the
laundry may come out excessively wet.
Therefore follow the heights as per the
following figure.
Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to
the washbasin.
Warning: Flooding will occur if
the hose comes out of its housing
during water discharge. There is
risk of scalding due to high
washing temperatures! To prevent
this and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the
machine, secure the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it
cannot dislodge easily.

Page 9
• To prevent flow 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 push it in the
drain by more than 15 cm. If it is too long,
cut it shorter.
• 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 leakage, the
connection between the extension hose
and the drain hose of the machine must
be properly fitted with an appropriate
clamp so as not to come off and leak.
1. Unplug the machine before transporting it.
2. Remove the water drain and water supply
connections.
3. Drain all the water that has remained in
the machine.
4. Fit the polystyrene and then package the
machine.
Transportation of the machine
Placing the rat mesh on the machine:
In case of risk of rats, you can assemble the
rat mesh under the base of the machine on
chassis with the help of screw provided
along with accessories as shown in the
image.
Adjusting the feet for levelling
Rat mesh (Depends on model)
A rat mesh is not supplied with the machine.
If required, a rat mesh may be purchased
from Defy spares.
When the washing machine is not levelled
you can lift the washing machine from front,
then rotate it to the left or right to adjust the
feet and make it even.
Check the level by the help of the levelling
indicator on the top cover. Ensure that the
air bubble inside the levelling instrument is in
the center of the circle during installation and
before operating the machine.
Disposing of the washing machine
• This washing machine has been
manufactured with high quality parts and
materials which can be reused and are
suitable for recycling.
• Do not dispose of the machine with
normal domestic waste at the end of its
service life.

Using detergent /softener and bleach
• Add detergent and softener before
starting the washing program.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open
while the washing program is running!
• Place the detergent bag or the dispensing
ball directly among the laundry in the
machine if you use them.
Choosing the Detergent Type
The type of detergent to be used depends
on the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with
special detergents (liquid detergent, wool
shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate
clothes.
• Wash woolens with special detergent
made specifically for woolens.
WARNING: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for
washing machines.
WARNING: Do not use soap
powder.
Adjusting the Detergent Amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used
depends on the amount of laundry, the
degree of soiling and water hardness.
• Pour the detergent into the main wash
compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the
dosage quantities recommended on the
detergent package. This avoids problems
of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial
savings and finally, environmental
protection.
• Use less detergent for small amounts or
lightly soiled clothes.
Using Softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer. If your
machine has a simple detergent drawer
(detergent drawer that does not include
softener compartment) softener can be put
in the dedicated compartment on the
balance ring.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking
in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it
with water before putting it in the
detergent drawer.
Using Gel and Tablet Detergent
Apply the following instructions when using
tablet, gel, and similar detergents.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal, put
the gel detergent into the main wash
detergent compartment during first water
intake.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal
or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put
it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash
compartment or directly into the drum
before washing.
Using Starch
• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the
fabric dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in
a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a
damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Tablet detergents may leave
residues in the detergent
compartment. If you encounter
such a case, place the tablet
detergent between the laundry,
close to the lower part of the drum
for future washings.
Using Bleaches
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent
by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount of bleaching agent
and rinse the clothes very well as it
causes skin irritation. Do not pour the
bleaching agent onto the clothes and do
not use it for coloured clothes.

Page 11
Sorting the laundry
• Sort the laundry according to the type of
fabric, colour, degree of soiling, and
suitable water temperature.
• Make sure to check the care label on the
clothing and then sort them accordingly
before starting the wash cycle.
• Mix large and small items in each load
When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach or limescale remover
please ensure you read the detergent manufacturer's instructions on the package
carefully and follow the suggested dosage values. Use measuring cup if available.
• Separate heavy soiled items from lightly
soiled ones.
• Separate dark colours from light colours.
• Separate colourfast items from non-
colourfast
• Separate robust fabrics from delicate.
• Separate whites from coloured fabrics.

of the machine will be extended and
frequently faced problems will decrease.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy
water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents
as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth. Use
only a soft and damp cloth to clean the
control panel.
Cleaning the water intake filters
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water
intake valves. Clean them with an
appropriate brush. If the filters are very dirty,
take them out with the aid of pliers and clean
the filters.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the
water intake hoses together with the gaskets
and clean them thoroughly under running
water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in
their places and tighten the hose nuts by
hand.
Draining remaining water and cleaning the
pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents
solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric
fibres clogging the pump impeller during
discharge of washing water. This ensures
easy water discharge and the service life of
the pump will be extended.
If the machine fails to drain water, the pump
filter is clogged. The filter must be cleaned
whenever it is clogged or once every 3
months.
Water must be drained off first to clean the
pump filter. In addition, prior to transporting
the machine (e.g., when moving to another
house) and in case of freezing of the water,
water may have to be drained completely.
1. Pull out the detergent drawer.
There is a filter at the end of each water
intake valve at the rear of the machine.
These filters prevent foreign substances and
dirt in the water from entering the washing
machine. Filters should be cleaned as they
do get dirty.
Clean the detergent drawer every 4-5
washing cycles to prevent the accumulation
of powder detergent over time. Wash the
detergent drawer with plenty of lukewarm
water in a wash basin. Wear protective
gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid
skin contact with the residues in the drawer
whilst cleaning. Insert the drawer back into
its place after cleaning and ensure that it is
properly seated.
2. Press down on the drawer from both sides
to release the hook, then take it out by lifting
it. Clean the detergent drawer by water.

Warning: Foreign substances
left in the pump filter may damage
the machine or may cause a noise
problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and
discharge the water:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the power
supply.
Warning: Temperature of the
water inside the machine may rise
up to 90ºC. To avoid a scalding
risk, the filter must be cleaned
after the water in the machine
cools down.
2. Open the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces,
press the tab on the filter cap downwards
and pull the piece out towards yourself.
3. Only some models are fitted with an
emergency draining hose. Follow the steps
below to discharge the water if your machine
is not fitted with an emergency drain hose.
a. Place a large container in front of the
filter to catch water from the filter.
b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise)
until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing
water into the container you have placed in
front of the filter. Always keep a piece of
cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.
c. When the water inside the machine is
finished, take out the filter completely by
turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well
as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller
region.
5. Install the filter.
6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces,
close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If
it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part
into their places first, and then press the
upper part to close.
Discharging the water when the machine
does not have an emergency draining
hose:

1 Push to take filter out
2.Open the filter and clean. Keep the
filter rubber in the original position.
3. After cleaning assemble the filter in the
correct position.
