• Make sure that the machine does not stand on the power cord.
Fig. 3
Selecting the location
Before installing the appliance, make sure the
location meets the following requirements:
• A concrete floor is the most suitable installation
surface for a washing machine,
being far less prone to vibration during the
spin cycle than wooden floorboards or a
carpeted surface.
• The machine must be level and securely
positioned. It must be protected from direct
sunlight, water and weather.
• The distance between the machine and wall must be more than 2 cm (Fig. 3).
• To avoid vibrations during spinning, the machine should not be installed on soft floor
coverings. If the appliance must be placed on a carpeted surface, place a plastic mat
underneath and ensure any ventilation openings in the base are not obstructed.

Installation (Cont.)
Levelling the machine
Place the machine on solid, dry and level ground. The machine must stand perfectly
level on all four feet to ensure safe and proper operation. Incorrect installation may
cause vibrations and noise, and may cause the machine to move about.
To determine whether levelling is necessary, place a spirit level on top of the washer
and hold it upright against the housing to identify any inclinations. If the machine
needs levelling, proceed as follows (Fig. 4):
WARNING!
It is very important to level the washing machine carefully, especially if your floor is
uneven. Failure to do so may result in the machine shaking and moving during the
spin cycle, or out-of-balance problems.
WARNING!
The lock nuts on all four feet must be screwed tightly against the housing, otherwise
the machine may vibrate noisily during operation.
• Loosen the lock nut with a spanner, turning it anticlockwise to loosen.
• Adjust the foot by hand until it makes close contact with the floor. Turn it
clockwise to lower the foot or anticlockwise to raise it.
• When the machine is level, use a spanner to turn the lock nut in a clockwise
direction to tighten.

Wool: This program is suitable for machine-washable wool fabrics.
Night: This program is suitable for cotton, linen and/or synthetic fabrics, and does not
have a spin function during the wash and rinse cycles - it only has one final spin at the
end, making it a quieter program more suitable to nighttime washes.
Antibacterial: This wash program is suitable for items that may be washed in very hot
(85°C) water.
Drum Clean: This hot water drum clean program is recommended for use every three
months to clean the inside of the wash drum.
Rinse + Spin: This program is suitable for cotton and/or synthetic fabrics that require a
quick refresh. It does not require any detergent, as it will only rinse the items, not clean
them completely.
Spin: This program is suitable for cotton and/or synthetic fabrics that need a quick
refresh. It will only spin these items, not wash or rinse them. It therefore does not require
any detergent or water.
Kids Wear: Recommended for children’s clothing (made of cotton) that are in need of
thorough cleaning and odour removal.
Shirts: Shirts made of cotton/synthetic fabric(s).
Underwear: Underwear items made from cotton/synthetic fabrics.
Quick30’: Clothes or towels that are not very dirty, but are in need of a quick refresh.
This cycle can be used for items that are more dirty than those washed using the
Quick15’ program.
Quick15’: Clothes or towels that are not very dirty, but are in need of a quick refresh.
This program should be used on less dirty items than those washed using the Quick30’
program.

Before first use
Instructions (Cont.)
Door lock
• The door of the front load washing machine locks automatically when the machine is
working. It cannot be opened without first pausing the wash program. To unlock the
door, press the Start/Pause button. The door will unlock after approx. 2 minutes.
• The door will not unlock when the temperature inside the drum is above a certain
threshold, and/or when the water is above a certain level.
• At the end of a wash program, the door will unlock after two minutes.
• Suds may flow out of the open door if it is opened during the wash cycle. Beware of
suds escaping from the machine and have a cloth/towel ready for catching spills.
CAUTION!
• Make sure the washing machine is properly and securely installed before using it.
• Before using the washing machine for washing clothes, run a complete washing
cycle without clothes, using the drum clean program.
CAUTION!
• For your safety, do not press the Start/Pause button and remove your wash load
while the machine is running, or when the power supply is cut off. The water
temperature may be high and it may scald you. The door will automatically unlock
at the end of a wash program when the temperature of the drum has cooled down.
• Do not attempt to open the door forcibly. Doing so is unsafe and will cause
damage to the locking mechanism.
Before using the washing machine for the first time, please review the following important
points and make sure that:
• All transit bolts are removed.
• The washing machine is stable and level. If necessary, adjust the levelling feet to
stabilise the machine (see page 12).
• The water supply hose is properly installed (see page 13) and the water tap is open.
• The power plug is firmly inserted into a nearby power point and power is switched
on to the outlet.
• The drain hose is properly installed and secured into the laundry sink or a standpipe
(see pages 14-15).
• Before using the washing machine for the first time, run a complete drum clean
program without laundry items and without any detergent.

or II The detergent compartments on the left and right side of the drawer are for
low-sudsing detergent for the main wash (left) and prewash (right). If you are
using powder detergent, you dissolve it in some water before adding it to
one of the two compartments.
or The middle compartment is for fabric softener. It will be dispersed through
the washing during the last rinse cycle. Concentrated fabric softeners
should be diluted as required. Do not exceed the maximum level mark.
Detergent recommendations
• Only use low-sudsing detergent and clothing care preparations that are
suitable for use in a front load washing machine, or in a top and front load
machine. Detergents for top load machines are unsuitable because they tend to
produce too many suds, which may cause overflowing from the detergent drawer.
• Use detergent in the amounts recommended on the detergent packaging. Dosage
depends on your amount of washing, the degree of soiling, water hardness and
the washing performance of your detergent. Using too little detergent will give poor
washing results, but too much will affect rinse performance and may cause overflow
of suds, which could interfere with machine operation. Do not overfill detergent!
• Pull open the detergent dispenser drawer and add detergent, as illustrated (Fig. 11)
and described below.
WARNING!
• Do not use flammable and explosive or toxic solvents, petrol, alcohol or other
chemicals in the machine.
• Keep detergents and clothing care preparations out of reach of children.

Instructions (Cont.)
Before each wash
• Before loading the washing machine
- Ensure that the washer is stable, level and properly connected to the power supply.
- Check that no young child or pet has climbed into the drum.
- Ensure that the water inlet hose and the drain hose are properly connected.
- Ensure that the drain hose is securely connected into the drain spout or sink.
• When loading the machine
- Empty all pockets of clothing to be washed. Hard, sharp objects such as coins,
safety pins, paper clips, bra wires, nails, screws or stones can cause extensive
damage to the appliance and block the pump. Any damage or malfunction
resulting from foreign objects is not covered by your warranty and may lead to
expensive repairs.
- Turn items with zippers inside out, close zippers, hooks and eyelets, fasten
buckles and tie fabric belts. This will also help reduce impact noise when the
items hit against the turning drum.
- Brush dirt, sand or pet hair off clothes and turn pockets inside out. Pretreat stains.
- Turn items that pill easily inside out.
- Sort your washing into appropriate loads: whites, darks, cottons, synthetics,
woollens, etc. Place small or delicate items into a wash bag for protection.
- Put your washing in the machine, loading items uniformly in the drum. For best
results, include both larger and smaller items in a wash.
- Do not overload the washer; the maximum dry washing capacity is 6 kg.
- When closing the appliance door prior to starting the unit, ensure that items are
not jammed in the door.
• CAUTION: Do NOT wash the following items in the washing machine:
- Jackets, raincoats, sleeping bags, fishing coats and similar clothes.
- Carpets or floor rugs.
- Underwire bras – instead, ensure these are placed in a closed garment bag before
washing in the machine.
- Clothes that have any residues of flammable materials, as this may result in fire
or explosion. For example, articles that have been cleaned in, washed in, soaked
in, or dabbed with industrial chemicals, or combustible or explosive substances
(such as wax, oil, paint, petrol, alcohol, degreasers, dry-cleaning solvents,
kerosene, etc.). Items containing such substances must be washed by hand or
rinsed thoroughly before machine-washing them.
- Single items, as this can cause unbalance problems during the wash or spin cycles.
We suggest you always add a few more items to the wash to avoid such problems.
- Items such as ties, suits, evening attire; silk or fur attire; or anything else labelled
unsuitable for machine-washing. Always check the garment label (see page 28).

Step-by-step washing instructions
1. Connect: Plug the machine in, switch on power to the outlet and open the water tap.
2. Load: Open the door of the washer and load the machine following the guidelines
on the previous page.
Mixing both large and small items gives better wash results and also helps
distribute the load evenly during spinning. You will achieve the most efficient energy
and water use when washing a full load. However, do not overload the machine as
this causes creases and reduces cleaning efficiency.
When your washing is properly loaded in the machine, close the door and ensure
that no items are caught in the door (Fig. 12).
3. Add detergent: Pull out the detergent dispenser and add detergent as required,
then close the dispenser (see page 22 for instructions).
4. Select a program: Rotate the Program dial to switch on the washing machine
and select the required program. Always check your clothing labels for
recommended wash and care instructions (see page 28).
5. Start: Press the Start/Pause button.
6. Finish: At the end of the wash program, the buzzer will sound to alert you that
the program has finished. The machine will change into standby mode after
several minutes of inactivity. Press the power button. Unplug the washing machine
from the power supply and close the water tap.
Note: if the wash cycle has been paused, the machine will not automatically
switch off after any length of inactivity.
7. Unload: Open the door and unload the washing machine. We recommend you
leave the door slightly ajar so the drum can dry properly and to prevent mould
and odour development.

Problem Possible cause Solution
There is too much
foam in the drum.
• Have you used a low-
foam detergent designed
for use in front-load
washing machines?
• Only use appropriate, low-
foam detergents.
There is a rubber
smell coming from
the drum.
• Because rubber parts
are used in the washing
machine, there can be
a rubber smell at the
beginning.
• This smell should dissipate
naturally. If there are other
unpleasant odours in the
drum, please use the Drum
Clean program (see pages
19-20).
There are variations
in the time remaining
• During spinning, if the
clothes are off center, the
spin time will increase
appropriately to correct
this phenomenon.
• If the water pressure
is too low, the inflow
time will increase
appropriately.
• No action is needed. The
spinning of the drum should
redistribute clothes evenly
to reduce this effect and
rebalance the load.
• No action is needed. If this
continues to occur, increase

Cleaning and care
To prolong the service life of the washing machine, keep it in good condition and
perform regular maintenance.
WARNING!
For any type of cleaning and maintenance, make sure the washing machine is
disconnected from the mains power supply and the water tap is closed.
Cleaning the cabinet (when required)
• Use a soft cloth to wipe any water or dirt off the washer housing.
• To remove dirt and stains, use a mild detergent solution and a damp cloth. Squeeze
it almost dry to avoid leaving water residues.
Cleaning the drum (every month)
• Make sure all laundry items are removed from the drum, then wipe it clean with a
soft dry or damp cloth.
• If you notice any rust residues left inside the drum from washing items with metal
parts (such as buttons or zippers), wipe the residues off immediately with chlorine-
free detergent. Never use steel wool.
• To remove dirt and/or detergent residues and scum build-up from the inside and
outside of the washing machine’s drum, run the Drum Clean program without any
clothes or detergent.
WARNING!
Do not use any solvents, alcohol, harsh chemicals, alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents, or sharp objects, to avoid damaging the surface. Do not spray water directly
onto the washer housing.
CAUTION!
Cleaning the inside of your washing machine regularly is particularly important if
you frequently use a cold wash cycle, especially if you also use a fabric softener.
Liquid detergents can cause detergent scum to build up around the outside of the
drum, which cold water will not remove and which can cause bacteria, unpleasant
odours, and eventually soiling of your wash load.
