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, fill the drawer with washing detergent
and fabric softener 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, disconnect it from the power
socket, shut off 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 first wash is performed in the White 90°C without any laundry, put 1/2 a.measuring
cup of washing agent into the second draw for the washing agent.
Install the washing machine in a location where it will be possible to fully open the door of the washing
machine. (Do not install the washing machine in a location where it will not be possible to fully open the
door).
Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation and air circulation around the washing machine.

a safe place for future reference.
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 bolts using a correctly sized spanner, turning it anticlockwise.
Remove the bolts by pulling them out.

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 rigid 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.
X4
EN - Copyright © 201, Fast ČR, a. s.
Electrical connection



Technical specifications 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
fuse or circuit breaker to which the washing machine is connected should be 10 A.
If you do not have such sockets and fuses/circuit breakers at home, have them
installed by a qualified 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 connected to the tap.
Connect the hose with the white end to the water inlet valve with the white filter and the hose with the red
end to the water inlet valve with the red filter (the second mentioned option applies to washing machines
with a hot and cold water connection). Tighten the plastic connecting parts using your hand. A qualified
plumber will provide a safer connection.
The water pressure of 0.1 - 1 MPa in your water tap will ensure a more efficient operation of your washing
machine (the pressure of 0.1 MPa equates to a flow 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 the washing machine has a dual water supply (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 fitting
attached to the drain of the wash basin.
Never attempt to extend the length of the drain hose by adding extra parts.

If you are going to use a liquid washing detergent, it is necessary to use a special liquid detergent adapter.
(You will find 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

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 find 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 the user's manual.

PART 4: 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 first 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.

Operating the washing machine
Placing laundry into the washing machine







Open the door of the washing machine.
Check that there are no foreign objects, laundry or animals in the drum. The drum could contain laundry
from the previous wash. Remove the laundry from the washing machine.
Arrange the laundry evenly inside the washing machine. Fold large items such as bed sheets or covers in
the manner shown in the illustration below.
Insert one item at a time.
When closing the door, make sure that no laundry has been caught in the door.
Check that the washing machine door is properly closed.
Firmly close the washing machine door, otherwise the washing machine will not start.
NOTE:
Maximum loading capacity may wary based on the laundry type you will wash, degree of contamination
and the programme you have chosen etc. Do not exceed maximum dry loading capacity indicated in the
programme table for washing programmes.
You can take the following table of weights as an example.

Detergent dosage
The amount of detergent you use in the washing machine depends on the following criteria:
 The consumption of detergent changes with the degree of dirtiness of the laundry.
 Do not use a prewash for lightly soiled laundry and use a small amount of detergent in compartment 2 of
the drawer for washing detergents.
 We recommend the use of the prewash only for heavily soiled laundry.
 For excessively soiled laundry select a program with a prewash, put 1/4 of a detergent measuring cup into
compartment 1 for washing detergents and put the remainder of the measuring cup into compartment 2.
 Use washing detergents specially made for automatic washing machines. The dosage of the detergent is
shown on the packaging.
 Increased water hardness necessitates the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.
 Increased laundry loads also necessitate the use of an increased amount of detergent in the wash.
 Pour fabric softeners (conditioners) into the fabric softener compartment in the detergent drawer. Do
not go over the MAX mark. Otherwise the fabric softener will flow out the siphon into the water used for
washing. If the fabric softener is very thick then dilute it with water before placing it in the compartment.
The thick fabric softener could clog up your siphon and so prevent the fabric softener from entering the
washing machine.
 You can use liquid detergents for all washing programs without a prewash. Place the adapter into the 2nd
compartment intended for the main wash and pour in the liquid washing detergent as necessary.
