• Read carefully and store for future use.
• The safety of this appliance complies with industry norms and meets legal appliance safety requirements. However, as manufacturers, we consider it our duty to provide you with the following safety instructions.
• It is essential that you store this user's manual in a safe place so that you can use it in the future. If you intend to sell the appliance, give it to another owner, or if you move, always make sure that the user's manual is attached to the appliance, so that the new owner can find out about the operation of the appliance and the relevant warnings.
• Before installation or operation of the appliance you MUST carefully read all the safety instructions and the user's manual.
• Before putting the appliance into operation for the first time, check that it has not been damaged during transport.
• Never connect a damaged appliance. If some parts are damaged, contact the supplier.
• If the washing machine is supplied in the winter months, when the temperature falls under 0^ , store the appliance at room temperature for 24 hours before first use.

General safety instructions

• Changing the technical parameters, or any making other modifications to the appliance is dangerous.
• During the course of the high temperature program the door heats up to a high temperature. Do not touch the door!
• Ensure that small household pets cannot get into the drum. It is therefore better to always check the inside of the drum before use.
• Items such as coins, safety pins, nails, bolts, stones and other heavy or sharp items can cause considerable damage and do not belong in the appliance.
• Use only the recommended amount of fabric softener and washing detergents. If you use a higher amount than is recommended, the fabric could be damaged.
  • Always use the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer.
• Small pieces of laundry such as socks, shoelaces, washing bands, etc. should be washed in a special purpose washing bag or in a pillow case, because the individual items could become jammed between the tube and the rotating drum.
• Do not use the washing machine to wash products from metal skeletons, fabrics which are not hemmed or that snag.
• After use, before cleaning or maintenance always disconnect the washing machine from the power supply and turn off the water inlet.
• Never attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may lead to injuries or serious damage to the appliance. Contact your local service centre for repairs. Always request original spare parts.

EN - 2

• Never touch the appliance if you have wet hands or feet.
• Never open the detergent drawer while washing.
• Never attempt to open the washing machine door while washing.
• Because the washing machine can become very hot during operation, do not touch the hose during the draining or filling process.
  • In the case of any defect, first turn off the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply and shut off the water inlet. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Contact the nearest authorised service.
• Do not forget that the packaging material from the washing machine may present a danger to children.
• Do not allow children to play with the washing machine.
• Keep household pets at a safe distance from the washing machine.
• The washing machine should only be used by persons fully instructed about the instructions, provisions and controls described in this user's manual.
• This washing machine is designed for domestic use only. The use of the washing machine for commercial purposes voids the warranty.
• Do not install the appliance on a carpet or another similar surface, which could block the ventilation openings on the underside.
• Do not place the drain hose into a container, bucket or sink.

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 drawer. To prevent this from happening, fill the drawer with washing detergent and fabric softener immediately before washing.
• We recommend the use of the 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, pull it out of 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 using the White 90 - 95° program (depending on the model) without any laundry, put 1/2 a measuring cup of detergent into the second detergent compartment.

PART 2: INSTALLATION

Carefully read the entire user's manual before putting your washing machine into operation and store it in 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. (PIC. 1)
• Remove the bolts by pulling them out. (PIC. 2)

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 electrical fuse or circuit breaker to which the washing machine is connected should be rated at 10A. If you do not have such sockets and fuses in your home, have them installed by a qualified electrician.
- Our company takes no responsibility for whatever 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).
• So that water does not leak 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 the connections are complete, 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 inlet (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.

NOTE:

Do not place the drain hose into a container, bucket or sink.

PART 4: WASHING LAUNDRY

• Connect the washing machine to a power socket.
• Open the water tap.

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^ .

Before actually washing

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.

Max. washing temperature 30° Hand wash Do not wash

The mark shown under the symbol means that a product (laundry) marked in this way must not be exposed to excessive mechanical stress and also the effective duration of temperature, humidity, auxiliary agents (softeners) must be as short as possible.

Placing clothing inside the washing machine

• Open the door of the washing machine.
• Spread the laundry evenly inside the washing machine.
• Insert one item at a time.

- When closing the door, make sure that no laundry has been caught in the door.

- Firmly close the washing machine door, otherwise the washing machine will not start.

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 the 2 compartment for washing detergents.
• For excessively soiled laundry select a program with a prewash, put 14 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.
• Increases laundry amounts 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. For this purpose install into the second detergent compartment in the drawer a measuring cup and pour in the detergent according to the mark shown on the measuring cup.

Operating the washing machine

Program selection

Select the appropriate program for your laundry according to the program table

Additional functions

Before starting the program you can also select an additional function.

• Press the button of the additional function that you wish to select.
• If the symbol of the additional function lights up on the display, the selected additional function has been activated
• If the symbol of the additional function fl ashes on the display, the selected additional function has not been activated.

Reason for the additional function not being activated:

• The additional function, which you wanted to use is not compatible with the program you have selected.
- The washing machine has already gone past the stage during which it was possible to use the additional function.
• It is not compatible with the additional function, which you selected before it.

Half load detection system

Your washing machine is equipped with a half load detection system. If you put approximately half (and less) the maximum load capacity of laundry into the washing machine, the washing machine will start so that in certain programs (White 95°, Colorfast 60°, Non colorfast 40°) it saves time, water consumption and electricity. If the half load detection is activated, the washing machine can complete your selected program in a shorter time.

Twinjet system - Dual channel system

The water with the washing detergent will be circulated in the washing machine by 2 spraying mechanisms and a mixing system by means of a dual channel system. The circulated detergent water solution will be sprayed on the laundry enabling better washing efficiency.

The dual channel system helps to wash a larger amount of laundry in a shorter time with better results, guaranteed lower electricity and water consumption.

The water inlet fi Iters

There are filters connected to the hose ends at the tap end and at the end of the inlet valves, which prevent dirt and foreign materials contained in water entering the washing machine. If the washing machine is not filling up with a sufficient amount of water despite the water inlet being open, clean these filters.

- Disconnect the supply hose.

• Using tweezers take the filters out of the inlet valves and wash them with a brush.

• Using your hand take out the filters on the supply hoses at the end connected to the tap together with the seals and clean them.

• After cleaning the filters put them back in the same way.

Attention:

The water inlet valves may be blocked by a contaminated water supply or because of inadequate necessary maintenance, or the valves may be damaged, which may cause a water to constantly flow through. For these reasons such types of malfunctions are not covered by the warranty.

The pump fi Iter

The pump filtration system extends the life of the pump, which is used for draining dirty water. It ensures that lint from the laundry does not enter the pump. We recommend you clean the pump filter every 2-3 months. Clean the pump filter as follows:

• Open the cover on the kickplate.
• Before opening the filter cover, place a container in front of it, into which the water remaining in the washing machine will flow.
• Loosen the filter cover by turning it anticlockwise and drain the water.
• Remove all foreign material from the fi Iter.
• Check by hand that the pump rotates.
  • After cleaning the pump, return the filter by turning it clockwise.

• Reattach the kickplate cover.
- Don't forget that if you do not attach it correctly, water will leak from your washing machine.

WARNING!

Danger of scalding!

Because the water in the pump may be very hot, wait until it has cooled down.

The drawer for washing detergents

Over time washing detergent deposits may accumulate in the drawer and in the washing machine opening. Therefore, the washing detergent drawer needs to be regularly cleaned from accumulated deposits. Take the drawer out as follows:

• Pull the drawer out completely (PIC. 1).
- Fully press down the lid of the siphon inside the drawer and pull the drawer until you pull it out (PIC. 2).
- Wash with water and an old toothbrush.
- Remove the deposits accumulated inside the drawer opening without them being allowed to enter the washing machine.
- Once the drawer is dry, insert it back into the washing machine in the reverse sequence here described.

The siphon plug

Take out the washing detergent drawer. Pull out the siphon plug and thoroughly clean off fabric softener residue. Reinsert the cleaned siphon plug in its place. Check that it is properly inserted.

The washing machine cabinet

Clean the washing machine from the outside using lukewarm water and a gentle cleaning agent, which will not damage the surface coat of the washing machine cabinet. After rinsing with clean water, wipe the washing machine with a soft and dry wiping cloth.

WARNING!

If you have installed the washing machine in a place where the ambient temperature falls below 0^ C and you will not be using it, do the following:

• Connect the washing machine to a power socket.
• Close the water tap and disconnect the supply hose or hoses.
• Insert the end of the drain hose and supply hose into a container on the ground.
• Set to program selector to the drain program.
  • The program indicator light will turn on.
• Start the program by pressing the Start/pause button.
  • After the program has finished (the end indicator light will turn on) disconnect the washing machine from the power socket.

After completing these steps the remaining water in the washing machine will be drained, which will avoid the danger of it freezing inside the washing machine. If you wish to use the washing machine again, ensure that the ambient temperature is above 0^ C.

The Drum

Do not leave any metal items inside the washing machine, such as needles, clips or coins, etc. These items can cause rusty stains to appear on the drum. If you wish to remove these stains, use a cleaning agent not containing chloride and follow the instruct of the cleaning agent's manufacturer. Never use steel wool used for dishes, or any other similar abrasive items to clean the rusty stains.

Removal of scale deposits from the washing machine

We recommend the use of a commonly available scale remover and to follow the instructions printed on the packaging.
