CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY

Attach the hose to the water tap by screwing it onto the thread.

• For normal washing machine operation, the pressure in the water mains should be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa (0,5 - 8 bar). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by measuring the water flow. In 15 seconds, 3 litres of water should flow from a fully open tap.
• If your model has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold water supply (blue wing nut or blue mark on the hose) and the other one to the hot water supply (red wing nut or red mark on the hose), as indicated on the back of the washing machine. Connections are labelled with letters C and H (C = cold, H = hot). Warm water (mixture of hot and cold water) is only added for programmes at 40 °C or higher.
• Tighten the water supply hose by hand, firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal (max. 2 Nm). After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks. Do not use pliers or similar tools when connecting the hose as this could damage the nut thread.
• Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.

AQUA STOP(ONLY WITH SOME MODELS)

If an internal tube or hose is damaged, a shut-off system is activated that cuts the water supply to the washing machine. In such case, the control glass (a) will turn red. Replace the water supply hose.

TOTAL AQUA STOP(ONLY WITH SOME MODELS)

If an internal tube or hose is damaged and if water is present on the bottom of the washing machine, a shut-off system is activated that cuts the water supply to the washing machine. In this case, the washing process will be stopped, water supply will be cut off, and the washing machine will switch on the pump and signal an error.

• Do not dip the water supply hose with the Aqua stop system in water as it contains an electric valve.
• When connecting the water supply hose, make sure to connect it in a way that allows adequate and unobstructed water supply

CONNECTING AND SECURING THE WATER DISCHARGE HOSE

Feed the water discharge hose into a washbasin or a bathtub, or connect it directly to a drain (discharge hose minimum diameter 4 cm). The vertical distance from the floor to the end of the discharge hose may be no more than 100 cm and no less than 60 cm. It can be attached in three ways (A, B, C).

A. Discharge hose end may be placed over a washbasin or a bathtub. B Use a string fed through the opening in the elbow support to attach the hose and prevent it from slipping to the floor.

B. Discharge hose may also be attached directly to the washbasin drain.

C. Discharge hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to allow cleaning.

D. The discharge hose has to be attached and affixed to the pin on the back of the washing machine, as shown in the figure.

• If the discharge hose is not correctly attached, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured.

CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE POWER MAINS

Connect the washing machine to a grounded power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations).

Information on your washing machine is indicated on the rating plate (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/Technical information«).

• Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
• Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or performance should be done by trained experts.
• A damaged power cord may only be replaced by a person authorized by the manufacturer.

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

Make sure the washing machine is disconnected from the power mains; then, open the door towards you (figures 1 and 2).

Before first use, clean the washing machine drum with a soft moist cotton cloth and water, or use the Cotton 90°C programme. There should be no laundry in the washing machine drum; the drum should be empty (figures 3 and 4).

WASHING PROCESS, STEP BY STEP (1–7)

Step 1: Heed the labels on the laundry

Step 2: Preparing the washing process

1. Sort the laundry by type of fabric, colour, soiling, and allowed washing temperature (see PROGRAMME TABLE).

2. Wash the laundry that sheds a lot of fibre or lint separately from other laundry.

3. Close the buttons and zippers, tie any ribbons, and turn the pockets inside out; remove any metal clips that could damage the laundry and washing machine interior, or clog the drain.

4. Place very sensitive clothes and small items in a special-purpose laundry washing bag. (The special purpose laundry bag is available as an optional accessory.)

SWITCHING ON THE WASHING MACHINE

Use the power cord to connect the washing machine to power mains, and connect the washing machine to water supply. Press the (1) ON/OFF/RESET button to switch on the washing machine (figures 1 and 2)

LOADING THE WASHING MACHINE

Open the washing machine door by pulling the handle towards you (figure 1). Insert the laundry into the drum (after making sure the drum is empty) (figure 2).

Make sure that no garment is stuck between the door and the rubber gasket. Close the washing machine door (figure 3).

Do not overload the drum! See PROGRAMME TABLE and observe your nominal load as indicated on the rating plate.

If the washing machine drum is too full, the laundry will not be washed as thoroughly.

Step 3: Choosing the washing programme

Choose the programme by rotating the programme selector knob (2) to the left or to the right (depending on the type of laundry and how heavily soiled it is). See PROGRAMME TABLE.

• During operation, the programme selector knob (2) will not rotate automatically.
• Washing programmes are comprehensive programmes that include all washing stages, including softening and spinning (this does not apply to Partial programmes).
• Partial programmes are independent programmes. Use them when you feel you do not need the entire washing programme.

PROGRAMME TABLE

* Maximum load (MAX)

** Half load (1/2)

/ Any load (0 kg – MAX kg)

• Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer's instructions, considering the washing temperature, washing program, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.
• Maximum amount of laundry in kg (for the cotton programme) is indicated on the rating plate fitted under the washing machine door (see chapter »WASHING MACHINE DESCRIPTION/ Technical information«).
• Maximum or nominal load applies to laundry prepared pursuant to the IEC 60456 standard.
• For better washing effect, we recommend loading the drum to 2/3 when using the cotton programmes.

Step 4: Choosing the settings

Most programmes feature basic settings, but these settings can be changed.

Adjust the settings by pressing the relevant function button (before pressing the (3) START/PAUSE button).

Functions that cannot be changed with the selected washing programme are partly lit (dimmed). Certain settings cannot be selected with some programmes. Such settings will not be lit, and the button will flash when pressed (see FUNCTION TABLE).

Description of lighting of functions for the selected programme:

• Lit (Basic/preset setting);

• Dimmed (Functions that can be adjusted) and

• Unlit (Functions that cannot be selected).

4. WASHING MODE

NORMAL CARE (basic/default setting)

POWER SAVE (4a) (This mode will save energy; washing time will be longer, and water consumption will be lower.)

TIME SAVE (4b) (This mode will save time as programme duration will be shorter, but it will use more water.)

We recommend a half-load for the Cotton programme.

Light on the button for the selected washing mode is lit.

7. SPIN (SPINNING RATE/DRAIN/PUMP STOP)
