Technical information
(depending on model)

141315
• 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!
• Remove the protective film from the display.
• When connecting your washing machine to water supply, be sure to use brand new water inlet hose
and appropriate sealing gaskets (attached).
• Do not locate the machine in a room with temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may be
damaged if frozen.
• Install the washing machine in a perfectly horizontal position, on solid flat concrete floor.
• Follow the instructions for correct installation and water and mains connections.
• Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the draining water.
• Use only detergents and softeners for machine wash. Manufacturer may not assume responsibility for
any damage and eventual discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect
use of bleach and/or coloring agents.
• We recommend removing any impurities from the washing machine drum before washing your first
batch of laundry. To do this, run the Cotton 95°C program without any laundry and with a small amount
of powder detergent. Before running the program, make sure the washing machine drum is really
empty.
• 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.
• Never use detergents containing solvents, since there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may
damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion.
• Upon completion of washing operation close the water faucet.
• Before any transport block the machine by inserting at least one transport blocking rod. Prior this
operation disconnect the appliance from the mains power!
• Rating plate with basic information is located above the opening of the machine.
• The warranty shall not apply to consumables (bulbs), minor discoloration or deviations of color,
increased noise level as a consequence of appliance age, which does not affect appliance functionality,
and aesthetical deficiencies which do not affect appliance functionality or safety.
• The appliance is manufactured in compliance with all relevant safety standards; however, it is
recommended that persons with impaired physical, motional, or mental abilities, or persons with
inadequate experience and knowledge, do not use the appliance without due supervision. The same
recommendation applies to minors using the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance read these instructions carefully. Repairing the failure arising
from inappropriate connections or use of the appliance is not covered by the guarantee.
The belt can be replaced by a servising engineer only, who incorporates an original spare part
with the marking. MIG OPTIBELT 6EPJ 1260 code 111622.

Cautions

141315
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.Save the transport
brackets for eventual later use.
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.
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
• Put the appliance in horizontal position by turning the
adjustable legs. The legs are adjustable up to 2 cm.
After the adjustment tighten the nuts firmly (A) - towards
the bottom of the machine!
The floor below the appliance should have concrete
base, and must be dry and clean, otherwise the
appliance may slide.

Installation and connection

141315
• 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.
Satisfactory water pressure level is 1,5 liter of water
output in 15 seconds with completely open faucet.
• Complete Aqua-stop
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.
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.
Wall socket must be accessible at all times and must
be equipped with an earth lead (in accordance with the
local safety regulations).
Permanent mains connection must be fitted by the
authorized personnel only.

141315
Damaged mains power cable may be replaced only by
the producer or his authorized personnel.
Never plug the appliance into the electric shaver socket
or hair dryer socket.
In case of parallel operation of drier and washer, both
appliances may neither be connected to the same wall
socket nor to two sockets connected to the same fuse.
If the socket the machine is connected to, is protected by
the overload protection switch (FID), the nominal differential
current of the switch must be 30 mA (switch mark Idn or
IΔn). In case of a smaller nominal current in the switch, the
machine may be switched off during its normal operation.

• 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 Consumption 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.
