CHAPTER -3: SETTING UP
REMOVING TRANSPORT SAFETY SCREWS

xDo not install your machine on a carpet or suchlike grounds.
xTo ensure silent and vibration-free operation of your machine, it
should be deployed on a non-sliding and firm ground.
xLoosen the plastic adjustment nut.
xAdjust the stays upward and downward by rotating them.
xAfter maintaining the balance, compress the plastic adjustment nut
upward again.
xNever put cardboard, wood or suchlike materials under your
machine if you are intending to stabilize the distortions on the
ground.
xWhen cleaning the ground, on which your machine rests, be
careful not to disorder stays stabilization.
9
CHAPTER -3: SETTING UP
ADJUSTING ADJUSTABLE STAYS

Electrical connection
xYour washing machine is set to 220-240V and 50Hz.
xMains cord of your washing machine is equipped with a specific
grounded plug. This plug should always be inserted to a grounded
receptacle of 10 amperes. Fuse current value of the power line
connected to this plug should also be 10 amperes. If you don’t
have such a receptacle and fuse confirming with this, please have
it done by a qualified electrician.
xWe do not take the responsibility of the damages that occur
due to ungrounded usage.
xOperating your machine under low voltage will cause the life cycle
of your machine to be reduced and its performance to be
restricted.
Water inlet connection
xYour machine may have either a single inlet (cold) or double water
inlets (cold/hot) based on its specifications. White-capped hose
should be connected to cold water inlet and red-capped hose to
hot water inlet (applicable for machines with double water inlets).
xTo eliminate water leakages in points of contact, 1 or 2 nuts are
provided in the hose package (applicable for machines with double
water inlets). Fit these nuts to the ends of new water inlet hoses on
the side of faucet.
xConnect the white-elbow end of the water inlet hoses to the white-
filtered water inlet valve on the rear side of the machine and the
red-elbow end to red-filtered one (applicable for machines with
double water inlets). Tighten plastic parts of the junctions using
your hand. In uncertain conditions, have the connection works be
done by a qualified plumber.
xFlow of water with pressure of 0.1-1 Mpa will allow your machine to
operate more efficiently (0.1 Mpa pressure means that more than 8
litres of water will flow through a fully-tapped faucet per one
minute).
xEnsure that points of contact do not leak by tapping the faucet
completely after carrying making the connections.
xEnsure that new water inlet hoses are not folded, broken, crushed
or their dimensions are not altered.
xMount new water inlet hoses to a ¾ , threaded faucet.
xIf your machine has double hot water inlets, the temperature of hot
water inlet should be maximum 70°C.
10
CHAPTER -3: SETTING UP
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION / WATER INLET CONNECTION

Water discharge connection
xEnsure that water discharge hose is not folded, twisted, crushed or
elongated.
xWater discharge hose can be fitted minimum 60 cm and maximum
100 cm above the ground.
xThe end of water discharge hose can be fitted to a specific
apparatus directly attached to dirty water discharge hole or outlet
joint of the basin elbow.
xNever attempt to extend the water discharge hose by jointing.
xDo not put discharging hose of your machine in a vessel, bucket or
sink.

xSeparate your laundries according to their types (cotton, synthetic,
sensitive, woollen, etc.), their temperatures (cold, 30°, 40°, 60°,
90°) and degree of contamination (slightly stained, stained, highly
stained).
xNever wash your coloured and white laundries together.
xWash your coloured laundries separately in the first washing as
they may bleed.
xEnsure that there are no metallic materials on your laundries or in
the pockets; if so, take them up.

foreign substances into your machine are not included within the
scope of warranty.

xOpen the door of your machine.
xSpread your laundries in your machine.
Note: Maximum loading capacity may vary based on the
laundry type you will wash, degree of contamination and the
programme you have chosen. Do not exceed maximum dry
loading capacity indicated in the programme table for
washing programmes.
You can take the following table of weights as an example.
LAUNDRY TYPE WEIGHT (gr)
Towel 200
Linen 500
Bathrobe 1200
Quilt cover 700
Pillow slip 200
Underwear 100
Tablecloth 250
xPut the laundries separately.

when closing the door of your machine.
xPush the door of your machine until hearing the locking sound to
close it.
xClose the door of your machine properly, otherwise your machine
will not start the washing operation.

CHAPTER-4: PRELIMINARY PREPARATION FOR
LAUNDERING PUTTING LAUNDRIES IN THE MACHINE

The amount of detergent you will put in your machine will depend on
the following criteria:
xYour detergent utilization will be based on the degree of
contamination of your laundries. Do not prewash your less stained
laundries and put your slight amount of detergent in the 2nd
compartment of the detergent drawer.
xFor your much stained laundries, select a programme including
prewashing, and put ¼ of the detergent you will put in the
detergent drawer in the 1st compartment of the detergent drawer
while putting the remaining ¾ of it into 2nd compartment.
xUse detergents produced for automatic washing machine in your
machine. The amount of detergent you will use for your laundries
is printed on the detergent package.
xThe higher the degree of hardness of the water the more detergent
you will use.
xThe amount of the detergent you will use will increase as the
amount of your laundries increase.
xPut the softener in the softener compartment in the detergent
drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, softener will flow
into washing water through flushing.
xSofteners with high density are required to be thinned to a degree
before being put in the drawer. Because high-density softener will
clog the flush and avoid the flow of the softener.
xYou can use your liquid detergents in all programs without
prewashing. For this, fit liquid detergent level plate in the
accessories bag into 2nd compartment of the detergent drawer and
set the amount of liquid detergent according to the levels on this
plate. Remember to detach the liquid detergent plate.
