PART 2: INSTALLATION
Removal of the transportation screws
• You must remove the transportation screws located in the back part of the washing machine before
putting it into operation.
• Loosen the screws using a correctly sized spanner, by turning them anticlockwise.
• Remove the screws by pulling them out.
• Insert plastic plugs found in the accessories pouch, into the transport screw holes.
• Carefully store the transportation screws removed from the washing machine for future transport purposes.
NOTE:
Defects caused by starting the washing machine with the transportation screws installed are not covered
by the warranty.
Levelling the washing machine
• Do not place the washing machine on carpets or similar surfaces.
• To ensure quiet and vibration free operation of your washing machine, you should place it on an even,
non-slip and rm surface.
You can level the washing machine by adjusting the adjustable feet:
• First loosen the plastic nut.
• Adjust by screwing out the feet upwards or downwards.
• After levelling the washing machine, re-tighten the plastic nut by screwing it upwards.
• Never level the washing machine on an uneven surface by placing cardboard, wooden blocks, etc. under
the feet.

Electrical connection
• Technical specications of your washing machine: 220-240 V ~ 50 Hz.
• A special grounding plug is attached to the power cord of your washing machine. This plug must be
fully inserted into a grounded power socket (with 10A). The electrical fuse or circuit breaker to which the
washing machine is connected should be rated at 10A. If you do not have such sockets and fuses in your
home, have them installed by a qualied electrician.
• Our company takes no responsibility for whatever damages caused by using the washing machine without
grounding.
Water supply connection
• Depending on the functions of your washing machine, the washing machine is equipped with either
a single water inlet (cold) or a double water inlet (cold/hot). The hose with the white end is intended for the
cold water inlet and the hose with the red end is intended for the hot water inlet (on washing machines
with a hot and cold water inlet).
• So that water does not leak from the connection points, the hose kit also includes 1 seal (for washing
machines with a cold water inlet) or 2 seals (for washing machines with hot and cold water inlets). Install
these seals on the end of the water inlet hose that is to be connected to the tap.
• Connect the hose with the white end to the water inlet valve with the white lter and the hose with the red
end to the water inlet valve with the red lter (the second mentioned option applies to washing machines
with a hot and cold water connection). Tighten the plastic connecting parts using your hand. A qualied
plumber will provide a safer connection.
• The water pressure of 0.1 - 1 MPa in your water tap will ensure a more ecient operation of your washing
machine (the pressure of 0.1 MPa equates to a ow rate of more than 8 litres of water per minute from
a fully open tap).
• After the connections are complete, check that the connections do leak by fully opening the tap.
• Check that the supply hoses are not bent, broken or cracked.
• Connect the supply hose to a 3/4" threaded water tap.
• If the washing machine has a dual water inlet (for hot and cold water), the temperature of the hot water
should not exceed 70 °C.

Water drain connection
• Check that the supply hoses are not bent, twisted, cracked or excessively stretched.
• The drain hose should be installed at a height of min. 60 cm and max. 100 cm above the ground.
• The end of the drain hose may be inserted directly into the drain opening or to a special end tting
attached to the drain of the wash basin.
• Never attempt to extend the length of the drain hose by adding extra parts.
NOTE:
Do not place the drain hose into a container, bucket or sink.
NOTE:
If the appliance is equipped with a drain hose, install it according to the picture shown below.
