1.3 Packaging and Environment
Removal of packaging materials
Packaging materials protect your machine from any
damage that might occur during transportation. The
packaging materials are environmentally friendly
as they are recyclable. Use of recycled material
reduces raw material consumption and decreases

1. Before operating the washing machine,
remove the 4 transit bolts and rubber
spacers from the rear of the machine.
If the bolts are not removed, they
may cause heavy vibration, noise and
malfunction of the machine and void the
warranty.
2. Loosen the transit bolts by turning
them anticlockwise with an appropriate
spanner.
3. Remove the transit bolts with a straight
pull.
4. Fit the plastic blanking caps supplied in
the accessories bag into the gaps left
by the removal of the transit bolts. The
transit bolts should be stored for future
use.
NOTE: Remove the transit bolts
before using the machine for the first time.
Faults occurring due to the machine being
operated with transit bolts fitted are out of
the scope of the warranty.
3.2 Adjusting the Feet /
Adjusting Adjustable Stays
1
1. Do not install your machine on a surface
(such as carpet) that would prevent
ventilation at the base.
• To ensure silent and vibration-free
operation of your machine, install it on a
firm surface.
• You can level your machine using the
adjustable feet.
• Loosen the plastic locking nut.
X4
2 3
2. To increase the height of the machine,
turn the feet clockwise. To decrease
the height of the machine, turn the feet
anticlockwise.
• Once the machine is level, tighten the
locking nuts by turning them clockwise.
3. Never insert cardboard, wood or other
similar materials under the machine to
level it.
• When cleaning the ground on which
the machine is located, take care not to
disturb the level of the machine.
3.3 Electrical Connection
• Your Washing Machine requires a 220-
240V, 50 mains supply.

EN - 11
• The mains cord of your washing
machine is equipped with an earthed
plug. This plug should always be
inserted to an earthed socket of 10
amps.
• If you do not have a suitable socket and
fuse conforming with this, please ensure
the work is carried out by a qualified
electrician.
• We do not take responsibility for
damage that occurs due to the use of
ungrounded equipment.
NOTE: Operating your machine
with low voltage will cause the life cycle
of your machine to be reduced and its
performance to be restricted.
3.4 Water Inlet Hose Connection
3/4”
10 mm
1
3

1. Your machine may have either a
single water inlet connection (cold)
or double water inlet connection (hot
and cold) depending on the machine
specifications. The white capped hose
should be connected to cold water inlet
and red capped hose to the hot water
inlet (if applicable).
• To prevent water leaks at the joints,
either 1 or 2 nuts (depending on your
machine’s specifications) are supplied
in the packaging with the hose. Fit these
nuts to the end(s) of the water inlet hose
that connect to the water supply.
2. Connect new water inlet hoses to a ¾ ˝,
threaded tap.
• Connect the white capped end of the
water inlet hose to the white water inlet
valve on the rear side of the machine
and the red capped end of the hose to
the red water inlet valve (if applicable).
• Hand tighten the connections. If in any
doubt, consult a qualified plumber.
• Water flow with pressure of 0. 1-1 Mpa
will allow your machine to operate at
optimum efficiency (pressure of 0. 1
Mpa means that more than 8 litres of
water per minute will flow through a fully
opened tap).
3. Once you have made all of the
connections, carefully turn the water
supply on and check for leaks.
4. Ensure that the new water inlet hoses
are not trapped, kinked, twisted, folded
or crushed.
• If your machine has a hot water inlet
connection, the temperature of the hot
water supply should not be higher than
70°C.
NOTE: Your Washing Machine
must only be connected to your water
supply using the supplied new fill hose. Old
hoses must not be reused.

standpipe or to the outlet elbow of
a household sink, using additional
equipment.

your machine into a container, bucket or
bathtub.
• Make sure that the water drain hose is
not bent, buckled, crushed or extended.

5.2 Putting Laundry in the Machine
• Open the door of your machine.
• Spread your laundry evenly in the
machine.
NOTE: Take care not to exceed
the maximum load of the drum as this will
give poor wash results and cause creasing.
Refer to the washing programme tables for
information on load capacities.
The following table shows approximate

• Make sure the door is fully closed,
otherwise the programme will not start.
5.3 Adding Detergent to the Machine
The amount of detergent you will need to
put in your machine will depend on the
following criteria:
• If your clothes are only slightly soiled,
do not pre-wash. Put a small amount
of detergent (as specified by the
manufacturer) into compartment II of the
detergent drawer.
• If your clothes are excessively soiled,
select a programme with pre-wash and
put ¼ of the detergent to be used into
compartment I of the detergent drawer
and the rest in compartment II.
• Use detergents produced for automatic
washing machines. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions on the
amount of detergent to use.
• In areas of hard water, more detergent
will be required.
• The amount of the detergent required
will increase with higher washing loads.
• Put softener in the middle compartment
of the detergent drawer. Do not exceed
the MAX level.
• Thick softeners may cause clogging of
the drawer and should be diluted.
• It is possible to use fluid detergents in
all programmes without a pre-wash. To
do this, slide the fluid detergent level
plate (*) into the guides in compartment
II of the detergent drawer. Use the lines
on the plate as a guide to fill the drawer
to the required level.
(*) Specifications may vary depending on
the machine purchased.
