INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

REMOVAL OF TRANSPORT BRACKETS

Close the openings with attached plastic pegs.

1 Move the pipes. Loosen screws at the rear of the machine.

2 Remove the brackets.

3 Slide brackets into the groove on the blocking rod - the right one should be turned around.

4 Use the brackets to rotate blocking rods for 90° and pull them out.

Be careful to prevent personal injury.

In removing the wrapping be careful not to damage the appliance with a sharp object.

Remove transport protection devices; as running the washing machine with the blocking rods in place could result in damage. Save transport brackets for eventual later use.

Warranty shall be void in cases of such damage.

SELECTING THE ROOM

The appliance should be placed on a surface with concrete base; the surface should be dry and clean in order to prevent slipping. The adjustable feet should also be cleaned before installation.

INSTALLATION

Use a water scale and spanner No. 32 (for feet) and 17 (for the nut).

Diagram illustrating washing machine operation with numbered steps and directional arrows indicating sequence

1 Put the appliance in horizontal position by turning the adjustable legs. The legs are adjustable up to +/- 1 cm.

2 After the adjustment tighten the nuts firmly - towards the bottom of the machine!

Vibrations, moving of the appliance and loud operation due to incorrect setting of the adjustable feet shall not be covered by this warranty.

If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can place it on top of the washing machine by using the vacuum feet or side by side.

4X

Before connecting the appliance, let it warm up to room temperature (wait at least two hours).

WATER INLET CONNECTION

Insert the gasket with a filter net into the straight inlet hose attachment nut and screw the nut onto the water tap (with some models, the gasket with filter net is already fitted and any additional fitting into the nut on the straight attachment is not required).

REGULAR ATTACHMENT

To ensure correct operation of the appliance, water pressure inlet must be between 0,05 and 0,8 MPa. Minimum water pressure can be established by measuring the quantity of poured out water. 3 litres of water must be poured out from completely opened tap in 15 seconds.

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 wall of the appliance (letters C and H) (C - cold; H - hot).

Hot water (a mixture of hot and cold water) is added only on the programs of 60^ or more.

The inlet hose should be tightened manually, firmly enough to prevent any leaks. After tightening the hose, check for any leaks. Use of pliers, wrenches, or other similar tools is not allowed when installing the hose, as these tools can damage the nut thread.

AQUA-STOP (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. In such cases display (A) turns red. Inlet pipe must be replaced.

Diagram of a faucet with a valve and a connector, labeled A (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)

TOTAL AQUA - STOP (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. Protection system will also detect whether there is any water leakage in the washing machine interior. In such cases, washing is suspended, water supply is cut off, and machine switches on the pump and signals an error.

Illustration of a faucet with a valve and base component (no text or symbols)

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into the water, because it contains the electric valve!

WATER OUTLET CONNECTION

Fix the drain hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or connect it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm). The end of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60 cm and maximum 100 cm above the floor level. It can be attached in three ways (A, B, C).

max 100 cm min 60 cm A B C max 90 cm max 100 cm max 150 cm

A Outlet hose can be led into a wash basin or a bathtub. Use a string to attach the hose to the opening in the elbow support to prevent it from slipping to the floor.

B Drain hose can also be attached directly to the basin drain.

C Drain hose can also be connected to a wall drain with a trap that is properly installed to allow cleaning.

Opening the door (Temporary interruption/ Permanent suspension - change of program)

Washing machine door may only be opened if the water level is sufficiently low. If it is not, the water must first be pumped out of the machine. Use the additional water pumping or spinning program).

If a power failure occurs when the drum is still full of water, be careful not to open the door before you pump the water out. (see Programs/partial programs: Spinning/pumping).

WHAT TO DO ...?

Washing machine automatically controls the operation of individual functions during the washing program. In case of error or failure, the error is indicated by both signal lights flashing in a particular rhythm. Number of times the signal lights will blink in a flashing pattern depends on the type of error. The machine will signal the fault until it is turned off. If the fault is on the heating system, the machine will complete the washing program, but without heating the water. Various interferences from the environment (e.g. electric devices) may also cause the machine to signal faults. In such case:

• turn off the appliance and wait a few seconds,
• turn on the appliance and repeat the washing program.
• If the fault reoccurs, call the service center (Call centre).

The warranty does not cover faults caused by interference from the environment (lightning strike, electric circuit, natural disasters, etc.).

Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation. The appliance will sense such problems and activate the UKS.*

Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer program duration. In extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the program can be completed without the spinning cycle.

UKS allows stable operation and extends the useful life of the appliance.

In case you were not successful in repairing the malfunctions in spite of the above suggestion chart, call the nearest authorized service shop. Repairing the failure arising from inappropriate connections or use of the appliance is not covered by the guarantee, and the repair expenses are paid by the customer.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE

Wash new coloured garments separately the first time.

Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more detergent or a prewash cycle.

Treat stubborn stains with a special stain removal agent before the wash. We recommend using the "Grandma's advice for natural stain removal".

With slightly soiled laundry, we recommend a program without prewash, use of shorter programs (e.g. Time Care) and a lower washing temperature.

Frequent, or predominant, washing at low temperatures, using liquid detergents, may result in development of bacteria which causes odour in the washing machine. To prevent this, we recommend running the auto-clean (SterilTub) program occasionally (see section WASHING/ selecting additional functions).

We recommend avoiding washing very small amounts of laundry as this will lead to excessive use of energy and poorer performance.

Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it into the drum.

Use only detergents for machine wash.

Add the powder or liquid detergents as instructed by the manufacturer, according

to the washing temperature and selected washing program.

If water hardness level exceeds 14^ dH degrees, the use of water conditioner is required. Any damage to the heater due to failure to use a water conditioning agent shall not be covered by this warranty. Check the information on water hardness with your local water supply company or authority.

Chlorine-based whitening agents are not recommended, as it can damage the heater.

Do not add hardened balls of detergent into the detergent dispenser as this may clog the piping in the washing machine.

If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended to dilute it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment ducts.

Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without pre-wash.

High spin RPM leave less moisture in laundry which dries out much quicker in the tumble dryer, thereby saving energy.

Hardness scale Degree of hardness
	°dH (°N) m mol/l °fH(°F) p.p.m.
1 - soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150
2 - medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250
3 - hard >14 >2,5	>25 >250

In case of hard water add detergent according to the Chart for degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see manufacturer's instructions).

Line drawing of a washing machine with a close-up inset showing internal components (no text or symbols)

Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser left gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central compartment (depending on model). If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up, and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down.

If you select the pre-wash 🤕 then only add powder detergent to the washing compartment 🔺 of the detergent dispenser.

'Standard 60°C ECO cotton programme' and the 'standard 40°C ECO cotton programme' are the standard washing programmes to which the information in the label relates. These programmes are suitable for cleaning normally soiled cotton laundry and they are the most efficient programmes in terms of combined energy and water consumption. For this reason, actual water temperature may differ from the nominal cycle temperature.

Due to variations in the type and quantity of laundry, spin speed, variations in power voltage, and the temperature and moisture of ambient, the measured values of the duration of the program and power consumption with the end user may vary somewhat from the displayed values.
