Cautions

452515
In removing the wrapping be careful not to damage the
appliance with a sharp object.
Before connecting the appliance, let it warm up to room
temperature (wait for two hours).
• Our appliances are packed in environmentally friendly materials
which may be recycled, deposited or decomposed without any
threat to the environment.
• To this end all wrappings are marked accordingly.
• Move the pipes.
• Loosen screws (A) at the rear of the machine (Fig. 1).
• Remove the brackets (B) (Fig. 1) and slide them into the groove
on the blocking rod (Fig. 2) - the right one should be turned
around.
• Use the brackets to rotate blocking rods for 90° and pull them
out.
• Close the openings with attached plastic pegs.
Save transport brackets for eventual later use.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
Be sure to remove the transport brackets prior first
use, otherwise the appliance may be permanently
damaged. In such cases the warranty conditions are
void.
• Put the appliance in horizontal position by turning the adjustable
legs. The legs are adjustable up to +/- 1 cm.
After the adjustment tighten the nuts firmly (A) - towards
the bottom of the machine!
Vibrations, moving of the appliance and loud operation
due to incorrect setting of the adjustable feet shall not

Installation and connection

452515
• If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can
place it on top of the washing machine.
To ensure correct operation of the appliance, water
pressure inlet must be between 0,05 and 0,8 MPa.
Minimum water pressure can be established by measuring
the quantity of poured out water. 3 litres of water must be
poured out from completely opened tap in 15 seconds.
• Take the water inlet hose from the drum and attach the inlet hose
angle extension (1) to the washing machine by screwing it onto
the provided thread (certain models only).
• Insert the gasket with a filter net into the straight inlet hose
attachment nut (2) and screw the nut onto the water tap. (With
some models, the gasket with filter net is already fitted and any
additional fitting into the nut on the straight attachment is not
required).
• If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then
connect one hose to the cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue
mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water supply (red
wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back wall of
the appliance (letters C and H) (C - cold; H – hot).
The inlet hose should be tightened manually, firmly enough
to prevent any leaks. After tightening the hose, check for
any leaks.
Use of pliers, wrenches, or other similar tools is not
allowed when installing the hose, as these tools can
damage the nut thread.
Partial Aqua-stop (water stop system)
In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by
automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. In
such cases display A turns red.
Inlet pipe must be replaced.
Complete Aqua-stop (certain models only)
In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by
automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine.
Security system also detects whether there is any water leakage
within the interior of the machine. In such cases washing is
suspended, machine switches on the pump and signals error.
Water inlet connection
6

452515
Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into
the water, because it contains the electric valve!
• Fix the outlet hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or connect
it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm).
• Wall drain must be installed properly and must enable
occasional cleaning.
• Fasten the outlet hose support with a piece of rope led through
the hose elbow, to prevent the hose from slipping to the floor.
The end of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60
cm and maximum 100 cm above the floor level.
• Plug the mains power cable to the wall mains socket.
• Required voltage and other information are written on the rating
plate above the door opening of the machine.
The wall socket must be accessible at all times and
must be equipped with an earth lead (in accordance
with the local safety regulations).
The permanent connection must be fitted by an
authorized personnel only.
Damaged mains power cable may be replaced only by
the producer or his authorized personnel.

laundry wet with perspiration, etc.), we recommend the use of the
quick program. To activate the program, turn the (A) button
to the setting “Cotton 30°C” and then press the “Short Program (C)”
key. You will save both energy and time.
The Cotton 15° program is intended for washing less soiled laundry,
using detergents (washing gels) specially designed for washing at
such temperatures.
Using this program will save you both time and power as water
heater will only be engaged if the water inlet temperature is lower
than 15°C.
Synthetics
Normally stained shirts, blouses and other polyester and
polyamide garments, or a mixture of these fabrics with cotton.
If you wish the laundry not to be excessively creased at the end
of washing, use easy ironing program .
Delicate

- Selection of partial programs ( , , )
These are independent programs and may be used when you do
not need the entire washing program. In case you would like to
use more additional programs in a sequence, you must turn off
the appliance prior any new program selection (turn the program
selector (A) to “0” for at least one second).
Softening (Conditioning)
The program is intended for softening, starching, or impregnating
clean clothes.
Softening program can also be used as an independent or
additional rinse program; in this case, however, do not add any
fabric softener or conditioner.
The program is completed by a spinning cycle at 1,000 rpm.
Spinning speed can be decreased.

452515
Pumping the water out (Draining)
Use it when the washing program was interrupted or if pump stop
function was engaged, and you only wish to pump the water out of
the drum, without spinning.
Spinning
Aggressive spinning for non-delicate laundry at high spin RMP.
Spinning rpm can be decreased by pressing the ( ) key - selection
of spinning speed (rpm).
- Adding washing and softening agents
(see Tips for washing and energy saving)
• pre-wash compartment
• main wash compartment
• softener compartment
If you do not apply the program which includes the pre-wash
feature, you may add washing detergent directly into the drum,
using the measuring vessel.
When adding softener, be careful to fill the dispenser
only up to the marked level.
Be sure to close the detergent dispenser when
opening/closing the appliance door.
• Push the START button (E). The machine starts operating after

• Before washing sort out the laundry according to the type, degree of dirtiness and color
resistance.
• Prior selecting the washing program consult the sewn tab with information on a particular piece
of laundry (see Maintenance Chart on the last page).
• Wash separately the new colored textile products for the first time.
• Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities and add more detergent.
• Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it will save energy.
• With lightly stained laundry select washing program without pre-wash, use short program and
select lower washing temperature. This way you may save up to 50% of energy.
• Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry because of energy saving and for better
performances of the appliance.
• The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is indicated in the Program chart.
• Before washing empty the pockets, close zip fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or
badges that might clog the drain or damage the laundry or drum interior.
• Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it into the drum.
• Use only detergents for machine wash.
• Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• For different washing temperatures and selected washing programs, please note the
recommendations provided by detergent manufacturers.
• If water hardness in your pipeline exceeds 14°dH, we recommend using water softeners. Any
damage to the heater due to failure to use a water conditioning agent shall not be covered by
this warranty.
• Chlorine-based whitening agents are not recommended, as it can damage the heater.
• To improve your washing results we recommend 2/3 load on Cotton programs.
If no program is selected and started and no other action is taken
within five minutes after turning on the machine, the machine will
be automatically turned off to save energy.
If no action is taken after the end of the program (e.g. if the
door is not opened, etc.), the machine will also turn off after five
minutes. When you wish to, for example, take the laundry from
the machine, you will have to turn it on first.
Washing stage signal lamps and the START/PAUSE key flash
intermittently.

Tips for washing and energy saving

452515
• If you do not apply the program which includes the pre-wash
feature, you may add washing detergent directly into the drum.
• If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended to dilute
it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment
ducts.
• Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser partition
gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central
compartment (depending on model). If you use powder
detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it
is slid down.
• Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without
pre-wash.
• Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings, delicate female
underwear, etc.) into the special bag.
• High spin RPM leave less moisture in laundry which dries out
much quicker in the tumble dryer, thereby saving energy.
Do not put clods of detergent into the soap dispenser
as the tube in the washing machine may clog.

2 - Medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250
3 - Hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250
In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for
degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see
manufacturer’s instructions).

452515
Disconnect the washing machine from the mains
before cleaning!
• The casing should be cleaned with soft cloth and mild
detergent.
• The interior of the drum and the door gasket is cleaned by
washing at 60°C without laundry and adding half quantity of
detergent.
• Frequent, or predominant, washing at low temperatures, using
liquid detergents, may result in development of bacteria which
causes odor in the washing machine.
To prevent this, we recommend running the auto-clean
program occasionally (see chapter “OPERATION / selecting
additional functions”).
• If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Pull it out from its
casing completely by pressing the flap (see Fig.).
• If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running
water.
• Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove
any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing.
16
Cleaning and maintenance

452515
• Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a
brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing
chamber.
• Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running
water.
• After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong
its useful life.
• Open the filter lid using flat screwdriver or similar tool.
• Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily
shaggy or old laundry.
• Carefully turn the filter insert in anticlockwise direction and let
the water slowly drain; then remove the filter and clean it under
running water.
17

452515
• Insert the filter back as shown on the picture, and tighten by
turning it in clockwise direction. To ensure good sealing the
gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.
The washing machine automatically monitors the execution of particular functions during the
operation, and reports any detected failures.
In such cases signal LED’s start flashing in certain sequence.
The flashing sequence changes in accordance with the nature of the detected failure.
In some cases you may attempt removing certain failures yourself, so count the number of flashes,
repeating after certain pauses.
The machine signals failures immediately after detecting them and stops the program, except for
heater failure, where the machine completes the washing program without heating water.
Failures:
2 - Two flashes: door is not correctly closed
3 - Three flashes: inappropriate water intake
7 - Seven flashes: inappropriate water outlet.
In these cases, you will be able to remedy the failure by yourself (See Troubleshooting table).
1 - One flash: temperature sensor failure
4 - Four flashes: spinning sensor failure
5 - Five flashes: motor failure
6 - Six flashes: Heater failure
In these cases, turn off the machine, then turn it back on and repeat the program. If the failure
reoccurs, contact your nearest authorized service center. The LEDs will continue to flash until the
machine is turned off.
Interferences from the ambient (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different
faults. In such cases:
- switch the appliance off, and wait for a few seconds;
- switch the appliance back on and repeat the washing program.
If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop.
Warranty shall not apply in case of failures due to interferences from the environment (lightning
stroke, power supply circuit faults, natural disasters).
