it installed. Damaged products
cause risks for your safety.
CMake sure that the water inlet
and discharge hoses as well as
the power cable are not folded,
pinched or crushed while pushing
the product into its place after
installation or cleaning procedures.
Appropriate installation location
• Place the machine on a rigid floor.
Do not place it on a long pile rug
or similar surfaces.
• Total weight of the washing
machine and the dryer -with full
load- when they are placed on top
of each other reaches to approx.
180 kilograms. Place the product
on a solid and flat floor that has
sufficient load carrying capacity!
• Do not place the product on the

Otherwise, the product will be
damaged.
• Loosen all the bolts with a
suitable spanner until they rotate
freely (C).
• Remove transportation safety
bolts by turning them gently.
12

• Attach the plastic covers supplied
in the User Manual bag into the
holes on the rear panel. (P)
CKeep the transportation safety
bolts in a safe place to reuse when
the washing machine needs to be
moved again in the future.
Never move the product without the
transportation safety bolts properly
fixed in place!
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.
• Connect the special hoses
supplied with the product to the
water inlets on the product. Red
hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for
hot water inlet, blue hose (right)
(max. 25 ºC) is for cold water
inlet.
AWARNING: Ensure that the cold
and hot water connections are
made correctly when installing the
product. Otherwise, your laundry
will come out hot at the end of the
washing process and wear out.
• Tighten all hose nuts by hand.
Never use a tool when tightening
the nuts.
• 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.
13
EN

Connecting to the drain
• The end of the drain hose must
be directly connected to the
wastewater drain or to the
washbasin.
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.
100cm
40cm
• 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.
Adjusting the feet
AWARNING: In order to ensure
that the product operates more
silently and vibration-free, it must
stand level and balanced on its
feet. Balance the machine by
adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the
product may move from its place
and cause crushing and vibration
problems.
• Loosen the lock nuts on the feet
by hand.
• Adjust the feet until the product
stands level and balanced.
• Tighten all lock nuts again by
hand.
AWARNING: Do not use any tools
to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise,
they will get damaged.

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 woollens with special
detergent made specifically for
woollens.
AWARNING: Use only detergents
manufactured specifically for
washing machines.
WARNING: Do not use Powdered
Soap.
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.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent
cup:
• Place the liquid detergent cup in
compartment nr. "2".
• If the liquid detergent has lost its
fluidity, dilute it with water before
putting in the detergent cup.
If the product does not contain a liquid
detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for
the prewash in a programme with
prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your
clothes when used with Delayed
Start function. If you are going to
use the Delayed Start function, do
not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
• If the gel detergent thickness is
fluidal and your machine does not
contain a special liquid detergent
cup, put the gel detergent
into the main wash detergent
compartment during first water
intake. If your machine contains
a liquid detergent cup, fill the
detergent into this cup before
starting the programme.
• 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
(compartment nr. "2") or directly
into the drum before washing.
C
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
in future washings.
C
Use the tablet or gel detergent
without selecting the prewash
function.
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.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with
prewash and add the bleaching
agent at the beginning of the
prewash. Do not put detergent in
the prewash compartment. As an
alternative application, select a
programme with extra rinse and
add the bleaching agent while the
machine is taking water from the
detergent compartment during
first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and
detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx.
50 ml) 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.
• When using oxygen based
bleaches, select a programme
that washes at a lower
temperature.
• Oxygen based bleaches can be
used together with detergents;
however, if its thickness is not
the same with the detergent,
put the detergent first into the
compartment nr. "2" in the
detergent drawer and wait until
