Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the draining water.

Before starting the washing cycle, lock the door by pressing it at the designated spot.

The door may not be opened during the washing cycle.

We recommend running the self-cleaning program before the first wash in order to remove any impurities from the washing machine drum. (See chapter on "Selecting additional functions".)

Use only detergents and softeners intended for machine wash.

The manufacturer may not assume responsibility for any damage and eventual discoloration of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect use of bleach and/or coloring agents.

For removal of lime residues, use such agents with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to completely remove eventual acid residues (e.g., vinegar, etc.).

Never use detergents containing solvents, since there is a danger of creating toxic gases which may damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion.

This product does not release silver ions during the washing cycle.

Upon completion of the washing cycle, close the water faucet and unplug the mains cord.

Before transporting the machine after it has been used, block the drum by inserting at least one transport blocking rod. Disconnect the appliance from the mains power before inserting the rod!

ACTIVATION AND

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

REMOVAL OF TRANSPORT BRACKETS

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).

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

2 After adjusting the height of the feet, firmly tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) using a spanner No 17, by turning them towards the bottom of the washing machine ↑(see figure).

Incorrect levelling of the washing machine with the adjustable legs may cause vibration, moving of the appliance across the space, and loud operation. Incorrect levelling of the washing machine is not subject to 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.

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).

A

AQUASTOP

B

TOTAL AQUASTOP

C

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).

Warm water (mixture of hot and cold water) is only added for programs at 60 °C or higher.

The inlet hose should be tightened manually (max. 2 Nm), 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.

TOTAL AQUA - STOP (CERTAIN MODELS ONLY)

In case of damage to the interior pipe, leaking is prevented by an automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the machine. The 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 the machine switches on the pump and signals an error.

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into 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 the 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).

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.

CONNECT THE APPLIANCE TO THE MAINS SUPPLY

After it is installed for the first time, the washing machine should be left to stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains.

Use the power cord to connect the washing machine to the power mains through a power outlet. The washing machine may not be connected to the power mains through an extension cable (danger of overheating and fire). Nominal voltage and other information is given on the rating plate located under the door frame.

To prevent damage by excess voltage on the mains due to lightning strike, we recommend using a class I over-voltage protector between the machine and the mains.

The wall socket must be accessible at all times and must be equipped with an earth lead (in accordance with the local safety regulations).

The permanent connection must be fitted by authorized personnel only.

Never plug the appliance into the electric shaver socket or hair dryer socket.

MOVING AND TRANSPORT

After transport, the washing machine should be left to stand still for at least two hours before it is connected to the power mains.

We recommend that installation and connection should be done by a qualified person.

Before connecting the appliance, read the instructions for use. Repair or any warranty claim resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty.

SUBSEQUENT TRANSPORT

Before transporting the washing machine, insert at least one blocking rod (transport protection) in order to avoid damage to the washing machine.

BEFORE THE USE

Open the door of the unplugged washing machine by pulling the lever towards you.

WHAT TO DO ...?

The washing machine shall automatically control the operation of particular functions during the washing cycle. If any irregularity is identified, this will be indicated by reporting (Ex) on the display.

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.).

TROUBLESHOOTING TABLE

Failure Possible cause What to do...?
The machine does not work - the display is not lit.	Machine is not powered. Check if:power in the socket,the fuse is OK,plug is in the socket.
Water is leaking from the machine.	Filter is not tightly screwed in.Inlet pipe is not tightly screwed to the machine or to the water faucet.Outlet pipe fell to the floor.	Tighten the filter properly.Tighten the inlet pipe.Affix the outlet pipe to the drain.
The machine moves during operation.	The machine is not properly levelled.Transport brackets are not removed.	Level the machine with the adjustable legs.Remove transport brackets.
The machine vibrates during the spin.	Unevenly distributed laundry, especially with very small quantities (for ex. only the bathrobe).	This is normal, the machine will reduce the RPM if vibrations are too strong. Wash larger quantity of laundry.
Excessive foaming during washing.	Excessive measure of detergent.	Use washing powder according to the instructions by the producer and according to the water hardness and soiled laundry. Use only detergents for machine washing.
Laundry is not properly spun. No failure is reported.	The machine switched on the UKS* function. Because of bad laundry balance, the machine has automatically reduced spin RPM.	The machine operates normally. Wash large and small pieces of laundry together.
Greasy wads appear on the laundry.	Too little detergent (laundry was very greasy).	Wash the laundry again. Add more detergent for such soiled laundry, or use liquid detergent.
Laundry is stained after washing.	You used liquid detergent or detergent for coloured laundry which does not contain whitener.Unsuitable program has been selected.	Use the detergent containing whitener.Use special stain removers.
White powdery residues on the laundry.	It is not the consequence of bad rinsing, but because of neo-phosphate detergents containing non soluble components (zeolites) for water softening.Such substances may be deposited upon the laundry.	Immediately rinse the laundry once again.Use liquid detergents which do not contain zeolites.Try removing the residues with the brush
Detergent residues in the dispenser.	Low water flow pressure. Some detergents may stick to the dispenser rather hard if it is wet.	Clean the inlet pipe filter net.Wipe the dispenser prior loading detergent.
Softener is not completely rinsed, or water is left in the dispenser dish.	Sucking cover is not correctly positioned or is clogged.	Clean the dispenser and firmly fix the cover to its place.
Unpleasant smell in the washing machine drum.	Remains of fabrics, washing agent and softener in the filter.Development of germs.	Check whether the filter is clean.Run the auto-clean (SterilTub) program (see chapter: selecting additional functions).
Washing time is longer than usual. Time indicated on the display is corrected during the washing cycle.	Low temperature of inlet water.The machine switched on the UKS* system because of uneven laundry load.Low mains voltage.There has been a failure in the power supply.	Washing program time may be up to 60% longer; however, this does not imply a fault in the machine.Washing time is extended by the power supply down-timeAdditional rinses may prolong the washing program time.
E2Washing program does not startAt the start of the washing cycle: washing time will flash	Open door or door not properly closed.	Close the door by pushing it towards the machine.Push START again.
E3Water is not supplied to the machine.	Water level has not been reached.Disturbed water inlet.	Check if:the water tap is open,inlet pipe net filter is clean.Push the START button.
E6Program temperature not reached.	Heater failure.Inlet water too cold.Manual addition of water.	Turn off the appliance and wait for a few seconds.Turn the appliance back on and repeat the washing program.If the failure is reported again, call a service technician.
E7Water is poorly pumped out or not at all.	Water outlet is clogged. Check if:	the filter is clean,outlet pipe is not jammed,the drain is clogged,outlet pipe is positioned higher than 1m.Push START again.

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 lightly soiled laundry, we recommend a program without pre-wash 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

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 cycle, 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.

We reserve the rights to make any changes or mistakes in these operation instructions.
