Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.

Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

3.4 Connecting water supply

C

The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 –

10 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

If you are going to use the double waterinlet product as a single

(cold)

water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

A

WARNING:

Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.

A

WARNING:

Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

A

WARNING:

Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.

3. Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

10 / 44 EN

Installation

3.5 Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

A

WARNING:

Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.

• In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than

40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

3.6 Adjusting the feet

A

WARNING:

In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.

• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or do not drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced.

3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

Electrical requirements

Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.

We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.

Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised

Service Agent.

B

This appliance must be earthed

If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.

Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.

The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a

13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an

ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover.

In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.

Important

Fitting a different plug

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:

1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green.

2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.

3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.

With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Preparation

4.2 Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.

• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.

• Place curtains in without compressing them.

Remove curtain attachment items.

• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.

• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.

• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.

• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine.

Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.

4.3 Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload; see, "Programme and consumption table".

• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2").

Choosing the detergent type

The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.

• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.

• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.

• Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

A

WARNING:

Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

A

WARNING:

Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.

• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.

• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Preparation

Using liquid detergents

If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. "2".

• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.

• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and similar detergents.

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.

• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.

Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

7.4 Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

7.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.

In addition, prior to transporting the machine

(e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

A

WARNING:

Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

A

WARNING:

Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC.

To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

1. Close the taps.

2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves.

Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.

3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

2. Open the filter cap.

If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.

If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.

You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.

3. Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose: a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.

b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter.

Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.

c. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.

4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.

5. Install the filter.

6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.

a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat b. Place a large container at the end of the hose.

Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.

c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.

d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
