Installation
BEFORE USING THE WASHING MACHINE
Removing the packaging and inspection
• After unpacking, ensure that the washing machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use
the washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer.
• Check that the accessories and supplied parts are all present.
• Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children,
as they are potentially dangerous.
Remove the transport bolts
Important:
• Transport bolts which are not removed can cause damage to the appliance.
1. Screw off all transportation bolts for approx. 30mm with wrench following the direction
of arrow shown (not fully screw it off).
2. Push four transportation bolts on horizontal direction inward and loose transportation bolt.
3. Pull out transportation bolt together with rubber part and plastic part.

EN
4. To ensure safety and reduce noise, you should install the transportation bolt cover supplied
with the unit (see the annex accompanying the unit). Lean and place the transportation
bolt into hole and press it following the shown direction until it clicks.
Important: Keep the transport bolts and the wrench for future transporting of the
appliance and in this case refit the transport bolts in reverse order.
Adjustment of the feet
The appliance must be installed on a solid and level floor surface (if necessary use a spirit
level). If the appliance is to be installed on a wooden floor, distribute the weight by placing it on
a 60x60cm sheet of plywood at least 3cm in thickness and secure it to the floor. If the floor is
uneven, adjust the 4 leveling feet as required; do not insert pieces of wood etc. under the feet.
1. Slacken the locknut clockwise (see arrow) using the wrench.
2. Lift the machine slightly and adjust the height of the foot by revolving it.

Higher
Important: tighten the locknut by turning it anti-clockwise towards the appliance
casing.

Install bottom cover
To realize quieter operation, a bottom cover is supplied with the unit (only applies to some of
the Hisense washers). After installing the cover at the bottom of the washer, the noise level
will be greatly reduced. Please ask for advice from specialists before installing the cover,
nevertheless, the machine can be used without the bottom cover.
Noise-reduction bottom plate installation instructions
1. Before installing the noise-reduction bottom plate, align and paste the acoustic absorption
wool with and along the right-angle impression on bottom plate (this procedure is
unnecessary for some of the models without acoustic absorption wool).
Right-angle impression
2. Remove surface paper on double sided tape at four sides of the bottom plate.

3. Incline the machine to an angle of 40° and let the side with right-angle notch face towards
front of the washing machine, as shown in the figure. Insert the side with oblique-angle
notch between two foot screws at back of the washing machine completely in place.
Then, install the bottom plate and ensure that it contacts with bottom of the washing
machine closely.
PUMP
4. Press the double sided tape on four sides manually to secure the noise-reduction palte
to the machine body firmly.
Connect the water supply inlet hose
1. If the water inlet hose is not already installed, it must be screwed to the appliance. The
blue marked hose is only for cold water.
2. Screw by hand the inlet hose onto the tap, tightening the nut.
Attention:
• No kinks in the hose!
• The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of an un-pressurized
water heater.
• Check water-tightness of connections by turning the tap completely on.
• If the hose is too short, replace it with a suitable length of pressure resistant
hose (1000 kPa min).
• Check the inlet hose regularly for brittleness and cracks and replace if
necessary.
• The washing machine can be connected without a non-return valve.

Connect the drain hose
In case the drain hose is installed as shown below:
1. Unhook it only from the right clip (see arrow)
2. Connect the drain hose to the Drain or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the
“U” bend.
Fit the “U” bend E, if not already installed, at the end of the drain hose.
Notes:
• Ensure that there are no kinks in the drain hose.
• Secure the hose so that it cannot fall down. After wash phase, machine will
drain out hot water.
• Small hand basins are not suitable.
• To make an extension use a hose of the same type and secure the connections
with clips.
• Max. Overall drain hose length: 2.50 m.

Before the first wash cycle
To remove any residual water used during testing by the manufacturer, we recommend that
you carry out a short wash cycle without laundry.
1. Open the tap.
2. Close the door.
3. Pour a little detergent (about 30 ml) into the main wash chamber of the detergent
dispenser.
4. Select and start a short programme.
Preparation of the washing
1. Sort the laundry according to...
• Type of fabric / care label symbol
Cottons, mixed fibres, easy care/synthetics, wool, handwash items.
• Colour
Separate coloured and white items. Wash new coloured articles separately.
• Loading
Wash items of different sizes in the same load to improve washing efficiency and distribution
in the drum.
• Delicates
Wash small items (e.g. nylon stockings, belts etc.) and items with hooks (e.g. bras) in a
cloth bag or pillow case with zip. Always remove curtain rings or wash curtains with the
rings inside a cotton bag.
2. Empty all pockets
Coins, safety pins etc. can damage your laundry as well as the appliance drum and tub.
3. Fasteners
Close zips and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons should be tied together.
Stain removal
Blood, milk, eggs etc. are generally removed by the automatic enzyme phase of the
programme.
• To remove red wine, coffee, tea, grass and fruit stains etc. add a stain remover to the main
wash chamber of the detergent dispenser.
• Pre-treat heavily-soiled areas with stain remover if necessary.
Dyeing
• Only use dyes that are suitable for washing machines.
• Follow the Manufacturer’s instructions.
• Plastic and rubber parts of the washing machine can be stained by dyes.
Loading the laundry
1. Open the door.
2. Load the articles one at a time loosely into the drum, without overfilling. Observe the load
sizes given in the quick reference guide.
Product usage
B

13
EN
Note: Overloading the machine will result in unsatisfactory washing results and
creased laundry.
3. Close the door.
Detergents and additives
Always use high efficiency, low foam detergent for a front load machine.
The choice of detergent depends on:
• type of fabric (cottons, easy care/synthetics, delicate items, wool).
Note: Use only specific detergents for washing wool.
• colour
• the wash temperature
• degree and type of soiling
Remarks:
Any whitish residues on dark fabrics are caused by insoluble compounds used
in modern phosphate-free powder detergents. If this occurs, shake or brush out
the fabric or use liquid detergents. Use only detergents and additives specifically
produced for domestic washing machines. When using descaling agents, dyes or
bleaches for the pre-wash, make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic
washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your
washing machine. Do not use any solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine). Do not wash
fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids.
Dosage
Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on:
• degree and type of soiling
• size of wash
follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions for a full load;
half load: 3/4 the amount used for a full load;
minimum load (about 1 kg): 1/2 the amount used for a full load;
• water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Soft water
requires less detergent than hard water.

EN
Notes:
Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing
efficiency. If the washing machine detects too much foam, it may prevent spinning.
Insufficient detergent may result in grey laundry in time and also calcifies the
heating system, drum and hoses.
Where to put detergent and additives
The detergent drawer has three chambers (fig. “A”)
Prewash chamber
• Detergent for the prewash / soak
Mainwash chamber
• Detergent for the main wash
• Stain remover
• Water softener (water hardness class 4)
Softener chamber
• Fabric softener

15
EN
Notes:
• Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.
• Liquid detergents can be used for programmes with prewash. However, in
this case a powder detergent must be used for the main wash.
• Do not use liquid detergents when activating the “Delay End” function (if
available on your washing machine).
• To prevent dispensing problems when using highly concentrated powder and
liquid detergents, use the special detergent ball or bag supplied with the
detergent and place it directly inside the drum.
• When using descaling agents, bleaches or dyes, make sure that they are
suitable for washing machines. Descalers could contain compounds that can
damage parts of your washing machine.
• Do not use any solvents in the washing machine (e.g. turpentine, benzine).
Operation
This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose
at an early stage and react appropriately.
