General safety instructions
 Changing the technical parameters or making any other modications to the appliance is dangerous.
 During the course of a high temperature program the door, cabinet and hoses heat up to a high
temperature. Do not touch the door, the cabinet of the washing machine or the hoses!
 Ensure that small household pets cannot get into the drum. It is therefore better to always check the inside
of the drum before use.
 Items such as coins, safety pins, nails, bolts, stones and other heavy or sharp items can cause considerable
damage and do not belong in the appliance.
 Use only the recommended amount of fabric softener and washing detergents. If you use a greater
amount than is recommended, the fabric could be damaged.
 Always use the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
 Small pieces of laundry such as socks, shoelaces, washing bands, etc. should be washed in a special
purpose washing bag or in a pillow case because the individual items could become jammed between

 After use, before cleaning or maintenance always disconnect the washing machine from the power supply
and turn o the water inlet.
 Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may lead to
injuries or serious damage to the appliance. Contact your local service centre for repairs. Always request
original spare parts.
 Do not use multi-sockets or extension cords.
 Do not plug in the appliance with a defective power cord.
 If the power cord is damaged, have it replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised service technician to
prevent hazardous situations.
 Do not pull the power plug out of the power socket by pulling on the cord. Hold the power cord by holding
the power plug directly.
 Do not connect the power plug if you have wet hands.
 Never touch the appliance if you have wet hands or feet.
 Never open the detergent drawer while washing.
 Never attempt to open the washing machine door while washing.
 Because the washing machine can become very hot during operation, do not touch the hose during the

 To avoid the risk of suocation, keep the plastic pouch containing the documentation about the washing
machine out of children's reach.
 Keep small parts out of the reach of small children.
Recommendation
 Long term contact of washing detergents and fabric softeners with air will cause them to dry out and stick
to the walls of the compartments. To prevent this from happening, ll the compartments with washing
detergent and fabric softener only immediately before washing.
 We recommend the use of a prewash only for heavily soiled laundry.
 Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity of the drum.
 This appliance must not be used by persons (including children) with physical, sensory or psychological
impairments or by inexperienced persons, unless properly trained or schooled in the safe use of the
appliance, or unless they have been properly supervised by a person who will be responsible for their
safety. Children should be supervised so as not to play with the appliance.
 If you will not be using the washing machine for an extended period of time, pull it out of the power
socket, shut o the water inlet and leave the door open so that the inside of the washing machine can dry
out and so unpleasant odours are not created.
 As a result of quality control procedures some water may remain in the washing machine. This will not
damage the washing machine in any way.
 We recommend that the rst wash is performed in the White 90 - 95° program (depending on the model)
without any laundry, put 1/2 a measuring cup of washing agent into the second draw for the washing agent.

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 10 A). 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 then have them installed by a qualied electrician.
 Our company takes no responsibility for any 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).
 To prevent water from leaking 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 completing all connections, 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 you are going to use a liquid washing detergent, it is necessary to use a special liquid detergent adapter.
(You will nd it in the washing machine‘s accessories.) You can use liquid detergents for all washing programs
without a prewash. Place the adapter into the main wash compartment – see illustration above; and pour
in the liquid washing detergent as necessary. Do not go over the maximum mark. Always remove the adapter
when using a powder washing detergent.

Main washing compartment
Into this part of the drawer, place only washing detergent (liquid or powder), lime scale remover, etc.
When using a liquid washing detergent use the special adapter. You will nd it in the washing machine‘s
accessories.
Fabric softener compartment
In this part only use fabric softener (we recommend that you use the amount and type of fabric softener
according to the instructions of the manufacturers of the fabric softener and the laundry). Sometimes remains
of the fabric softener may remain in the compartment. This is because fabric softeners are viscous (sticky).
To prevent this from occurring, we recommend that you use a fabric softener that is less viscous (i.e. sticky)
or you can dilute it using water.
Prewash compartment
Fill this compartment only if the prewash function is selected. We recommend that you use this function only
for heavily soiled laundry. More information further in this user's manual.

PART 5: WASHING LAUNDRY
 Connect the washing machine to a power socket.
 Open the water inlet.
First wash cycle
There may be some water left over inside the washing machine from the factory tests. We therefore recommend
to perform the rst wash without laundry so as to drain this water; put half a measure of standard detergent
into compartment 2, which is used for washing detergents and select the program for cotton at 90 °C.
Sorting laundry
 Sort the laundry according to its type (cotton, synthetics, delicates, wool, etc.), washing temperature and
the level of dirtiness.
 Never wash whites together with coloured laundry.
 Because your new coloured laundry may release some of its colour, wash it separately.
 Before placing the laundry into the washing machine check pockets for any forgotten items. In this way
you will prevent damaging your clothes and the washing machine.
 Do up zips and buttons on the laundry.
 From curtains and drapes remove the plastic or metal hooks or insert the into a wash bag and tie it up.
 Turn clothing such as pants, knitted fabrics, T-shirts and singlets inside out.
 Wash small items such as socks and handkerchiefs in a wash bag.
