3.4 Connecting water supply
CThe water supply pressure required to run
the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1
– 1 MPa). 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.
CIf you are going to use the double water-
inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet
unit, you must install the supplied stopper
to the hot water valve before operating the
product. (Applies for the products supplied
with a blind stopper group.)
AWARNING: 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.
AWARNING: Do not use old or used
water inlet hoses on the new product. It
may cause stains on your laundry.
1. Connect the special hoses supplied with

3. Open the taps completely after making
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.

14 / EN
Washing Machine / User‘s Manual
Installation
3.5 Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must be directly
connected to the wastewater drain or to
the washbasin.
• Drain hose shall be attached to a wall
drain, stand pipe or sink siphon connected
to the foul water drain, do not connect to
surface water drains.
AWARNING: Your 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! To
prevent such situations and to ensure
smooth water intake and discharge
of the machine, fix the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it cannot
come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of
at least 40 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 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 flowing 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 drive it in the
drain 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.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning
agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting
the washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open
while the washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without
prewash, do not put any detergent into the
prewash compartment (compartment nr.
"1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not
put liquid detergent into the prewash
compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash
if you are using a detergent bag or
dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag
or the dispensing ball directly among the
laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do
not forget to place the liquid detergent
cup into the main wash compartment
(compartment nr. "2").
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.
• When washing dark coloured clothes
and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid
detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent
made specifically for woolens.
AWARNING: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for washing
machines.
AWARNING: 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 lesser detergent for small amounts or
lightly soiled clothes.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener
compartment of the detergent drawer.
• 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.
