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.
A
WARNING: 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.
• Tighten all hose nuts by hand.
Never use a tool when tightening
the nuts.

14
• 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.
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.
40 cm
100 cm
• 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.

loads, lightly soiled clothes
or when using short duration
programmes especially in soft
water areas.
Using softeners

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.

If the product is equipped with a
liquid detergent part:
• When you want to use liquid
detergent, pull the apparatus
towards yourself. The part that
falls down will serve as a barrier
for the liquid detergent.
• If required, clean the apparatus
with water when it is in place or
by removing it.
• If you will use powder detergent,
the apparatus must be secured at
top position.
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.
