Installation

Removing packaging reinforcement

Tilt the machine to remove the packaging reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement by pulling the ribbon.

Opening the transportation locks

Transportation safety bolts must be removed before operating the washing machine! Otherwise, the machine will be damaged!

1. Loosen all the bolts with a spanner until they rotate freely (“C”)

2. Remove transportation safety bolts by turning them gently.

3. Fit the covers (supplied in the bag with the Operation Manual) into the holes on the rear panel. (“P”)

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 appliance without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Adjusting the feet

Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they can be damaged.

1. Manually (by hand) loosen the lock nuts on the feet.

2. Adjust them until the machine stands level and firmly.

3. Important: Tighten all lock nuts up again.

Connecting to the water supply.

Important:

• The water supply pressure required to run the machine must be 1-10 bar (0,1 – 1 MPa).

• Connect the special hoses supplied with the machine to the water intake valves on the machine.

• If you are going to use your double waterinlet machine as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the stopper*, supplied with your machine to the hot water valve.

• If you want to use both water inlets of the product, you can connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper and gasket group from the hot water valve.

* Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.

• Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap.

When returning the appliance to its place after maintenance or cleaning, care should be taken not to fold, squeeze or block the hoses.

Connecting to the drain

The water discharge hose can be attached to the edge of a washbasin or bathtub. The drain hose should be firmly fitted into the drain as to not get out of its housing.

Important:

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

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 90 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 wet.

• The hose should be pushed into the drainage for more than 15 cm. If it is too long you may have it shortened.

• The maximum length of the combined hoses must not be longer than 3.2 m.

Electrical connection

Connect the machine to an earthed outlet protected by a fuse of suitable capacity. Important:

• Connection should comply with national regulations.

• The voltage and the allowed fuse protection are specified in the section “Technical Specifications”.

• The specified voltage must be equal to your mains voltage.

• Connection via extension cords or multiplugs should not be made.

A damaged power cable must be replaced by a qualified electrician.

The appliance must not be operated unless it is repaired! There is the risk of electric shock!

Initial preparations for washing

Preparing clothes for washing

Laundry items with metal attachments such as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar.

• Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels.

• Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost.

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

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

• Use only dyes/color changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.

• Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out.

Correct load capacity

Please follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded.

Loading door

The door locks during program operation and the Door Locked Symbol lights up. The door can be opened when the symbol fades out.

Detergents and softeners

Detergent Drawer

The detergent dra wer is composed of three compartments:

The detergent dispenser may be in two different types according to the model of your machine.

– (I) for prewash

– (II) for main wash

- (III) siphon

– ( ) for softener

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

Add detergent and softener before starting the washing program.

Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running!

When using a program without pre-wash, no detergent should be put into the pre-wash compartment (Compartment no. I).

Detergent quantity

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 quantities recommended on the package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.

• Never exceed the (> max <) level marking; otherwise, the softener will be wasted without being used.

• Do not use liquid detergent if you want to wash using the time delay feature.

Maintenance and cleaning

Detergent Drawer

Remove any powder residue buildup in the drawer. To do this;

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

If more than a normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

2. Wash the dispenser drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin.

3. Replace the drawer into its housing after cleaning. Check if the siphon is in its original location.

Inlet water filters

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

• Close the taps.

• Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to clean the surfaces of the filters on the water intake valves with an appropriate brush.

• If the filters are very dirty, you can pull them out by means of pliers and clean them.

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

• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully to their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining any remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

Your product is equipped with a filter system which ensures a cleaner water discharge that extends pump life by preventing solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging the pump propeller during discharge of the washing water.

• If your machine fails to drain the water, the pump filter may be clogged. You may have to clean it every 2 years or whenever it is plugged. Water must be drained off to clean the pump filter.

In addition, water may have to be drained off completely in the following cases:

• before transporting the machine (e.g. when moving house)

• when there is the danger of frost In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water;

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

There may be water at 90°C in the machine. Therefore, the filter must be cleaned only after the inside water is cooled down to avoid hazard of scalding.

2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be composed of one or two pieces according to the model of your machine.

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

If it is composed of one piece, hold it from both sides and open it by pulling out.

3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with some of our models. Others are not supplied with this item.

If your product is supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:

• Pull out the pump outlet hose from its housing.

• Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water off into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. If the amount of water to be drained off is greater than the volume of the container, replace the plug, pour the water out, then resume the draining process.

• After draining process is completed, replace the plug into the end of the hose and fit the hose back into its place.

If your product is not supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:

• Place a large container in front of the filter to receive water flowing from the filter.

• Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow out of it. Direct the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. You can use a piece of cloth to absorb any spilled water.

• When there is no water left, turn the pump filter until it is completely loose and remove it.

• Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the propeller region.

• If your product has a water jet feature, be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter while replacing it into its housing. Fit the filter fully into its housing; otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.

4- Close the filter cap.

Close the two-piece filter cap of your product by pushing the tab on it.

Close the one-piece filter cap of your product by fitting the tabs on the bottom into their positions and pushing the upper part of it.
