Removing the transport bolts

POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE OR INJURY

• The appliance is secured for transport with transport bolts. Transport bolts that are not removed can damage the drum during washing machine operation; the appliance will vibrate and will be much noisier during spin cycles if the transport bolts are not removed before use. Be sure to completely remove the 4 transport bolts before the first use.
• Save the transport bolts.
• If a bracket was purchased with the appliance, it should be installed first, before removing the transport bolts. Refer to the pedestal installation instructions.
• To avoid damage during subsequent transport, be sure to reinstall the bolts before transport.

Figure 2 shows the steps to remove the bolts. These are detailed below:

1. Loosen the four transport bolts A with the wrench (supplied) and remove them.
2. Remove the four spacer tubes B. During bolt removal, if the spacer tubes fall into the machine, they can be retrieved by tilting the machine forward and picking them up from the floor or from inside the machine base.
3. Cover the open holes of the transport bolts with the four C-cover plugs found in the plastic bag containing the accessories.
4. Store all parts in a safe place: you will need them again if the washing machine needs to be moved to another location.

Note:

To avoid breakage during transportation of the washing machine, follow the instructions below:

• The carriage bolts must be reinstalled.
• The power cord must be secured at the rear of the washing machine.

Location requirements

• The machine must be installed on a solid, level floor. Never place the machine on soft carpets or wooden floors. Do not install the machine on a makeshift base; if the installation location cannot be changed, the base must be improved as needed, for example, by extending its size and securing it with supports.
• Never place the appliance on separate racks. It is possible that the machine may move slightly due to factors such as overloading or moisture on the base. This could cause the machine to fall off the base after some time of use.
• Keep the environment dry and ventilated.
• The appliance must be installed and used in a room with a drain.
• Never place small appliances, such as microwave ovens and/or electric cookers, on the machine.
• Keep the machine away from equipment with flame, such as candles, gas stoves, liquefied gas containers, etc.
• Never place pressurized containers on the machine.
• Never place the machine over an uncovered drain opening.

Free space requirements

• Install the appliance with easy access to the plug and socket.
• Install the appliance where there is sufficient space around it.

Fig. 3

(a) 3 cm or more above
(b) 5 cm or more at the back
(c) 5 cm or more on the left side
(d) 5 cm or more on the right side
(e) 70 cm or more (This space is usually the space required in front of the appliance to open the door and gain access)

CAUTION: Do not allow metal parts of the appliance to come into contact with metal sinks or other appliances.

Appliance levelling

The appliance uses high spin speeds to remove water at the end of the washing cycle. It is important that it is level, and the adjustable feet press with equal pressure against the floor. This will help to ensure quieter operation and less vibration.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the appliance on level, solid surfaces. Preferably in a corner of the room.
2. If the floor is not level (or uneven), adjust the appliance's adjustable feet as needed to level it. Do not place anything under the appliance's adjustable feet to help level it.
3. Do not extend the appliance's adjustable feet more than necessary. The more extended the legs are, the more vibration the appliance will experience. Start with the adjustable legs fully threaded and adjust each leg as needed.
4. Use a spirit level (not supplied) to check the top of the appliance and ensure it is level from side to side and front to back.
5. Press down on each corner of the appliance's top to ensure it does not wobble. There should be no yielding or movement. All adjustable feet must press equally against the floor. This is just as important as ensuring that the appliance is level to avoid vibrations.
6. When the appliance is level and does not wobble, lock the adjustable feet in place by tightening the locknuts against the bottom of the washing machine. Ensure you do this without changing the foot height (hold the foot while tightening the locknut).

Procedure for adjusting the adjustable feet

Fig. 4

1. After determining which adjustable legs of the fixture need to be extended, have someone lift the fixture slightly to take pressure off the leg to be adjusted.
2. Rotate the adjustable leg of the fixture to extend it downward as necessary to raise the corner of the fixture the correct amount and level it.
3. When the foot height is correct, use the spanner (supplied) to tighten the locknut against the bottom of the appliance and secure the foot in place.

Water and electrical supply connection

Water supply hose connection

1. Connect one end of the water inlet hose to a cold water tap and hand tighten. Before making the connection, allow the water to run freely until it runs completely clear. Fig. 5.
2. Connect the other end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve at the rear of the appliance and hand tighten. Fig. 6.
3. Open the tap slowly and make sure there are no water leaks.
4. Do not kink, crush, modify or cut the hose.
5. Tighten the end of the hose firmly by hand.
6. The water supply pressure must be within a range between 0.03 and 1 MPa. If the pressure exceeds this value, a pressure reducing valve (not included) must be installed.
7. If the hose is not long enough, please contact Cecotec's Official Technical Support Service or an authorised technician.
8. Never use a second-hand water inlet hose.
9. Use the new water inlet hose supplied with the appliance.

Drain hose connection

Drain point height

Height difference between floor and drainage point: min. 60 cm (24 in.) and max.

100 cm (39 inches). Fig. 7

Drainage connection types

a) Vertical tube. Fig. 8

• Attach the drain hose to the elbow (not supplied).
• Place the elbow on the drain hose 4 inches (100 mm) from the end of the hose.
• Insert this section of the drain hose into the drainpipe. If the hose is inserted too far, this may cause the washing machine to continuously drain while filling.
• Secure the elbow and hose with a cable tie to prevent the hose from slipping out of the drainpipe during use.

b) Sink trap

Attach the drain hose to the sink trap using a ∅ 0.9-1.6-inch (20-44 mm) hose clamp. Fig. 9

c) Washbasin

WARNING RISK OF BURNS: When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of burns if you touch the hot foam, e.g. when pumping hot foam into a sink. Do not reach into the hot foam.

Notice: Appliance damage/fabric damage.

If the end of the drain hose touches the discharged water (water drained from the washing machine), this discharged water may be siphoned back into the washing machine and damage the appliance or fabrics. Make sure that:

• There is no plug in the sink drain.
• The end of the drain hose does not touch the discharged water.
• The sink drain is free-flowing and not partially clogged.
• Attach the drain hose securely to the sink.

Figure 10 shows the correct way to place the hose in the sink.

• Do not twist, pull or bend the drain hose.
• Secure the drain hose with the cable tie to the drainpipe, sink, etc., so that the hose will not be pulled out by the force of the water.
• The use of drain hose extensions is not recommended; if absolutely necessary, the extension must have the same diameter as the original hose and must not exceed 250 cm in length. Fig. 11

Electric connection

Before plugging the washing machine into the mains socket, ensure that:

• The socket is earthed and complies with applicable legislation.
• The socket is capable of handling the maximum power load of the appliance as indicated on the technical data label affixed to the machine.
• The power supply voltage is within the values indicated on the rating plate affixed to the washing machine.
• During heating, the maximum current of the washing machine is 10A, so make sure that the power supply system (voltage, current and cable) is suitable for the load of the appliance.

Preparing the laundry

Notice: Damage to the appliance/fabric. Foreign objects (coins, paper clips, needles, nails, etc.) can damage clothes or washing machine components.

Keep the following tips in mind when preparing your clothes:

• Remove any loose or metal objects, such as safety pins, clips, etc., from the clothes.
• Remove sand, coins, etc., from pockets and cuffs.
• Close zips and fasten cushion covers, duvet covers, etc.

• Remove the curtain hooks or secure them in a net bag.

• Particularly delicate items, such as stockings or lace curtains, or smaller items, such as tiny socks or handkerchiefs, should only be washed in a net bag.

• Some garments are best washed inside out. This includes knitwear, trousers, t-shirts and sweatshirts.
• Make sure underwired bras are machine washable.
• Ensure that underwired bras are washed in a mesh bag that can be securely fastened with a zip or button! If the wire comes out of the cup, it can pass through the drum holes and cause significant damage.

Preparation of laundry for drying

• Only dryer-safe textiles that have been washed, rinsed and spun-dried.
• Remove as much water as possible from the laundry. Do not press the button to reduce the spin speed.
• To ensure even drying, sort items according to fabric type and required dryness level.
• Items that require ironing do not have to be ironed immediately after drying in the dryer. It is a good idea to fold or roll them together for a while, so that the remaining moisture is evenly distributed.
• When washing clothes to be tumble-dried, use the correct amount of detergent and textile care products according to the manufacturer's instructions. Some detergents and textile care products, starch or fabric softeners may contain chemicals that can negatively deposit on the moisture sensors, affecting their function and drying results.

The following textiles must not be tumble-dried:

○ Clothing marked with the care symbol: ☒.
o Wool or wool-containing items. Risk of shrinkage!
o Delicate fabrics (silk, synthetic net curtains). Risk of creasing!
- Items containing foam rubber or similar materials.
Items that have been treated with flammable solvents, such as stain removers, petrol, paint thinners. Danger of explosion!
- Items that still contain hair spray or similar substances. Hazardous vapours!
o Dripping clothes. Waste of energy!

Sorting laundry by colour and soil level

Sort garments according to colour, soil level and recommended washing temperature range.

• Garments may lose their colour.
• Never wash new multicoloured items together with other clothes.
• Wash white garments separately from coloured garments. Otherwise, white items may tend to turn grey.

Degree of soiling

• Light soiling. No visible dirt or stains, but items may have absorbed some odour. This could include lightweight summer clothes such as t-shirts, shirts or blouses worn only once. Also for refreshing bed linen or guest towels.
• Normal soiling. Visible soiling and/or some light staining. This could include items such as t-shirts, shirts or blouses that have been sweated in or worn several times. Also kitchen cloths, hand towels or bed linen used for a week or longer.
• Unstained curtains that haven't been washed for up to six months.
• Heavy soiling. Visible dirt and stains. This could include tea towels, cloth napkins, baby bibs, children's outerwear or football shirts and tops stained with grass or soil. This may also include workwear such as overalls and jeans, and other garments used for outdoor work and activities.

• If the water level and/or temperature is not high, the door will unlock and can be opened.
• The door will remain locked if the water level in the drum is high. To unlock the door, switch on the washing machine by pressing and holding the power touch icon. Then, select the Spin programme and deactivate the Spin option by pressing the Spin speed selection icon repeatedly until “---” appears on the display.
• Press the Start/Pause touch icon to start the Spin programme. The door will unlock at the end of the programme.

10. Switching off the appliance when a programme ends

• At the end of the cycle, the word "END" is shown on the digital display.
• The door can only be opened when the door lock indicator light switches off.
• Check that the door lock indicator light is off. Then, open the door and take out the laundry.
• Press the power touch icon to switch off the washing machine.
• Close the tap.
• Leave the door ajar to allow the inside of the appliance to dry.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Read the following instructions to maintain and protect your washing machine and keep it in optimal working conditions.

Warning: Risk of electric shock

• To avoid the risk of electric shock, always disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning.
• Do not clean the appliance with a pressure washing machine.

Cutting off water and electricity supplies

• Close the water tap after each washing cycle. This will limit wear on the hydraulic system and help prevent leaks.
• Unplug the appliance when cleaning and during any maintenance work.

Cleaning the outside of the washing machine

Warning: Risk of explosion

To avoid the risk of explosion, never clean the washing machine with flammable solvents.

Clean the exterior surface when necessary as follows:

• Use warm soapy water or a mild (non-abrasive) cleaning product.
• Use a soft cloth to dry it.
• Dispose of waste immediately.
• Do not use high-pressure sprayers.

Drum cleaning

• Metal debris left in the drum can cause rust stains.
• Never use steel wool pads to try to remove them.
• Use a non-chlorine cleaning product and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Descaling the washing machine

• If you use the correct amounts of detergent, you do not need to descale the washing machine.
• If it is necessary to descale the drum of the appliance, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the descaling product.
• Small amounts of descaling agent can be used to remove white stains on the washing machine drum caused by limescale or mineral deposits or small amounts of rust caused by metal objects left in the drum.

Caution: Descaling agents contain acids which can attack parts of the appliance and discolour the laundry.

Door and drum care

- Always leave the door ajar to prevent odours from forming.

Checking the water supply hose

• Check the water supply hose at least once a year. If there are any cracks, it must be replaced immediately. Water pressure is very strong, and a cracked water supply hose could easily burst open.
• Never use water supply hoses that are not new.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

Cleaning the detergent drawer. Fig. 17

Clean the detergent drawer regularly to avoid clogging of the detergent powder and fabric softener compartments, which would affect the detergent output to the drum. To do so, follow the instructions below:

1. Slide open the detergent drawer fully. Press down the locking catch on the drawer and remove it from the washing machine housing.
2. Wash the detergent powder and fabric softener compartments with tap water and remove detergent residues.
3. Put the drawer back in place.

Note: During the cleaning process, do not open the liquid detergent compartment or tilt or turn the detergent drawer to prevent it from slipping out.

Tip: Do not use the appliance without the detergent drawer in place.

Always keep the drawer completely closed.

Cleaning the water supply hose mesh filter.

Fig. 18

1. Close the water inlet tap and unscrew the water supply hose.
2. Carefully clean the mesh filter at the end of the hose with a fine brush.
3. Next, unscrew the water supply hose at the back of the washing machine by hand. Remove the mesh filter from the water inlet valve at the back of the washing machine with pliers and clean it carefully.
4. Replace the mesh filter. Reconnect the water supply hose to the tap and washing machine. Do not use any tools to connect the inlet hose. Open the water tap and check that all connections are tight.

Cleaning the drain pump

Warning: Risk of burns

Risk of skin lesions from hot water.

You are responsible for ensuring that all safety precautions are followed when draining water from the machine and/or manually opening the door.

• It may be necessary to clean the drain pump if the washing machine does not drain (no sound of water pumping from the appliance when it should be draining, but other nearby drains, such as a sink, drain properly).
• The pump can become clogged with loose debris (a good reason to check the drum and remove any visible debris after each load). Fabrics that shed large amounts of lint can also cause blockages.

• To access the drain pump, the maintenance cover must first be opened (see following steps). Once you have opened the maintenance cover, proceed as follows:

• If the appliance has not drained, try draining it. Choose the Spin cycle. Then press the spin speed selection touch icon repeatedly until all spin speed indicators turn off. Then press the Start/Pause touch icon. Wait a few moments for the cycle to empty the water from the drum. If the pump is totally blocked, the appliance will not be able to drain, and the cycle will end.

• Turn off the tap so that no more water enters and needs to be drained. Switch off the appliance. Unplug the appliance from the mains.

• Open the drain filter cover. Fig. 19

• Use the removable drain hose located on the pump access opening to drain the remaining water into a suitable container (up to 20 litres of water can be drained). Remove the plug from the hose and place it over the side of a suitable container and allow the water to drain out of the drum. When finished, replace the plug on the end of the hose and put it back in place. Fig. 20

• Turn the pump cover counterclockwise to remove it. A small amount of residual water may flow out when the cover is removed. Clean the inside of the pump hose, removing

any debris or foreign objects. Check that the impeller at the rear of the pump housing can rotate freely. Remove any lint, dirt or detergent residue from the pump cover. Reinstall the pump cover by screwing it firmly into position. The part that allows the cover to be opened must be vertical. Fig. 21

1. Close the drain filter cover. Clean up any spilled water.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING

The washing machine may occasionally stop working. Before contacting Cecotec's Official Technical Support Service, please make sure that the solution to the problem is not listed below.

Problem	Cause/Possible solution
There are coloured stains and oil stains on the drum	Run a Drum Clean Plus washing cycle without detergent and laundry.
Bad smells	Due to the use of rubber parts, the machine will have a rubber smell at the beginning of use, but the rubber smell will gradually disappear during use.
The door cannot be opened	The safety protection function is in operation, and the water temperature and/or water level are too high.
	The programme ended normally, but there was a power cut.
	If the Child lock function is activated, deactivate it.
	If the Delay End function is activated, deactivate it.
Water spillage in the detergent drawer	The dispenser is blocked with detergent and requires cleaning.
	The water pressure is too high and needs to be lowered; close the tap on the water supply pipe slightly and try again.
	The appliance is tilted forward (it must be level).
Water leaks (other than from the detergent drawer).	Water supply hose is loose, check connections.
	Water supply hose is tight but still leaks; if so, replace the rubber washers, or the water supply hose does not have the rubber washer.
	The drain hose is not positioned correctly.
	In case of water leakage inside the machine, turn off the power supply and contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.

The washing machine does not switch on	Appliance is not fully plugged in or not plugged in enough to make contact.
	There is no power at the socket or there is a problem with the fuses.
Wash cycle does not start	The door is not properly closed.
	You did not press the Power icon.
	You have not pressed the Start/Pause icon.
	The water tap has not been turned on to allow water to flow into the appliance.
	The Delay End function has been activated.
No water or detergent enters the drum. Error “E02” appears on the display	Water supply hose is kinked or bent.
	The water supply hose is not connected to the water supply.
	The water pressure is too low.
	The water tap has not been opened to allow water to flow into the machine.
	There is no water supply in the dwelling.
	The mesh filter in the water supply hose and/or the water inlet valve is/are blocked.
	Tap and/or water supply pipe is/are frozen.
	The Delay End function has been activated.
	You have not pressed the Start/Pause icon.
	There is already enough water in the drum.
Water discharge when the programme starts	This is not an issue. Do not open the door to pour water directly into the drum before the programme is run, otherwise the machine may discharge the water that was poured into the drum when the programme was started.
The water level is too low when the machine is washing.	This is not an issue. The water consumption in the wash cycle of this appliance is relatively small, the water level in the wash cycle is lower than that of other types of washing machines.
Overfilling of water during operation of the wash cycle	If the water level drops, the machine will automatically recover the water.
	When the amount of laundry to be washed is too large, the appliance can automatically fill the water several times during the operation of the washing cycle.
Too much foam in the drum or foam overflows from the detergent dispenser.	The detergent is not suitable for machine washing (must show the text “for washing machines” or “hand and machine wash” or similar).
	Too much detergent was used; less detergent is required in soft water.
The spin phase is repeated several times.	Due to different types and materials of laundry, the load balancing system of the appliance may wobble and scatter the laundry many times to extend the spin time. This is a normal phenomenon, not an incidence of the machine.
Machine does not spin	No spin speed has been selected. The display shows “—”
The machine vibrates a lot during the spin cycle	The feet have not been adjusted, causing the machine to wobble.
	If you have just installed the appliance: the transport bolts, including the plastic spacer, or the polystyrene packaging have not been removed when installing the machine.
	The appliance is trapped between furniture and/or walls.
	The load is slightly unbalanced, and the appliance is rotating, but at a slower speed.
Spinning result is not optimal	When you wash less laundry, such as a pair of jeans, a jumper, a bath towel, etc., the machine may not complete the spin phase due to balance protection.
	If the load is slightly unbalanced, the appliance will spin, but at a lower speed, not at the cycle's default spin speed or the spin speed setting for the cycle.
Machine does not drain, drains slowly or “E03” appears on the display.	The top of the drain hose is too high. It should be installed at a height of 65-100 cm from the ground.
	The draining pump filter is blocked.
	Drain hose is kinked or bent.
	Drain hose is blocked or frozen.

The washing programme time stops counting before entering the high-speed spin process.	This is not an issue. The load balancing system of the appliance wobbles and disperses the laundry in the drum for a long time to achieve balance and complete the spin at high speed. In the tumbling and spreading process, the programme time stops counting before the appliance reaches the high-speed spin process.
Washing programme lasts too long	Programme times will vary due to water pressure, incoming water temperature, and if the load is unbalanced. As a result, the programme times will increase (see "Spin cycle repeats several times").
Excessive noise	There will always be some noise from the motor, pump and drum during spinning.
	The washing machine touches other objects.
	Foreign objects, such as hairpins or metal objects, fall into the drum.
The machine is continuously filled with water and continuously emptied.	The top of the drain hose is too low. It should be installed at a height of 65-100 cm from the floor.
	The end of the drain hose has been pushed too far down into the standpipe; the hose elbow must be installed 100 mm from the end of the drain hose.
	The end of the drain hose is submerged in the discharged water.
The drained water returns to the appliance	If the end of the drain hose touches the discharged water (water drained from the washing machine), it (the discharged water) may be sucked back into the appliance and damage the appliance or garments.
Control panel gets hot	This is a slight heating effect of the electronic components on the PCB board installed on the back of the control panel.
After drying, there are drops of water on the door and drum	During drying, water droplets may accumulate on the door. Clean them.
	Do not put too many clothes or heavy items.
General issues	Your appliance contains sensors that monitor progress during the washing cycle (e.g. water level, temperature, unbalanced loads, washing time/progress). Normally, if your appliance completes the cycle successfully, it is unlikely that there will be a problem.

In the event of any of the following faults occurring, they shall be detected by the microcomputer system. The washing machine will beep, and the following fault codes will be displayed:

Error codes	Error type	Possible cause and solution
E02	No water inlet	Is the tap open? Has the water supply been cut off? Are the water supply hose mesh filter and water inlet valve blocked? Is the water supply hose frozen? If the answer is yes, try to solve the problems yourself. If the error code is still displayed, please contact Cecotec's Official Technical Support Service.
E03	Abnormal drainage	Clean the pump filter.Check if the drain hose is bent, kinked or clogged. If the problem persists, contact Cecotec's Official Technical Support Service.
U4	Door fault	The door may not be properly closed. Close the door again and then press the Power icon to switch off the washing machine. Then switch it back on and press the Start/Pause touch icon to restart the programme. If the problem persists, contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
H	Drum temperature is high	Press the Start/Pause icon to suspend operation of the appliance and wait a few minutes. When the drum temperature drops to a safe range and the fault code disappears from the display, press the Start/Pause icon to restart the programme. If the problem persists, contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
FXXX	The concentration of negative ions in the drum is too high.	Press the Start/Pause touch icon to suspend washing machine operation and wait a few minutes. When the negative ion charge in the drum drops to a safe range and the fault code disappears from the display, press the Start/Pause icon to restart the programme. If the problem persists, contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
EXX	Other faults	Switch off the appliance by pressing the Power icon. Then disconnect it from the mains and contact Cecotec's Official Technical Support Service.

Note: Make sure to check the cause of the fault and solve it before pressing the Start/Pause icon again. If the fault code disappears, the washing machine will continue to operate. If the

error code is still displayed, unplug the power cable and contact the official Cecotec Technical Support Service.
