Please, do not use the washing machine without
reading and understanding these instructions or use
first.
Be sure to remove transport brackets prior first use
of the appliance. Attempted operation of the blocked
machine may result in irreparable damage which is not
covered by the manufacturer’s warranty!
When connecting your washing machine to water
supply, be sure to use the supplied water inlet hose
and sealing gaskets.
Failure to observe the instructions for use or
inappropriate use of the washing machine may result in
damage to the laundry or machine, or injury to the user.
Keep the instructions for use handy, near the washing
machine.
Do not install the machine in a room where

Follow the instructions for correct installation and
water and mains connections (see chapter "Installation
and connections").
Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the
draining water.
Prior starting the washing cycle lock the door by
pressing them at the designed spot.
Door may not be open during the washing cycle.
We recommend running the self-cleaning program
before the first wash in order to remove any impurities
from the washing machine drum. (See chapter on”
Selecting additional functions”.
Use only detergents and softeners for machine wash.
Manufacturer may not assume responsibility for any
damage and eventual discolouring of gaskets and
plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use
of bleach and/or colouring agents.
For removal of lime residues use such agents with
added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing
to remove completely eventual acid residues (e.g.
vinegar etc.).
