General safety instructions

• Changing the technical parameters or making any 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.

• warranty.
• Do not install the appliance on a carpet or another similar surface, which could block the ventilation vents 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 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 - 95° program (depending on the model) 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).

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.

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 when using a powder washing detergent.

NOTE:

Accessories may vary depending on the model.

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.

Program selection dial

Using the program selection dial, select a program, in which you wish to wash your laundry. The program selection may be done by turning the program selection dial in both directions. When making settings, ensure that the symbol on the program selection dial exactly matches your selected washing program. If you switch the program selection dial to position O (off), the washing machine will drain the water so as to complete (cancel) the program cycle. After completing the draining operation the washing machine will switch to the stand-by mode. Now you can select another program that you want to start.

Display

The display shows the set time of the delayed start, the spinning speed, selected additional functions and the status of the current program (prewash / washing cycle / rinsing / spinning).

At the same time, LED lights indicate the current status of the washing program; also combinations of LED lights communicate warning messages.

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.

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.

Selecting programs and functions

Select a program and additional functions appropriate for your laundry using the program selection dial.

Additional functions

PART 6: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

• Disconnect the washing machine from the power socket.
• Shut off the water inlet.

CAUTION!

The washing machine and its components could be damaged if you use agents containing solvents. Do not use washing detergents or fabric softeners containing solvents.

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 clean 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.

WARNING:

The water inlet filters may become clogged as a result of a connection to poor quality water or insufficient maintenance, etc. Dirty filters result in water leaks that may cause damage to the washing machine and property. Damages caused by incorrect maintenance of the filters are not covered by the warranty conditions.

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 bottom strip using the measuring cup or adapter (depending on the model). 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 kick plate cover.

- Don't forget that if you do not reinstall the filter correctly, water will leak from your washing machine.

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.

Drum

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

Removing 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.

WARNING:

Scale removal mixtures contain acids and may cause discolouration of your laundry and may have a negative effect on your washing machine.

PART 7: PRACTICAL INFORMATION
