Part 2: Steps before operating Fullautomatic Washing Machine and safety precautions.

The current requirement in order for safe operation of this machine is 10 Amp

Your washing machine is set to 240 Volts.

Do not forget to check the grounding in all cases of use Our company will not be responsible for any damages caused by operations without grounding.

The performance of the washing machine depends on the effectiveness of the cleaning agent. Stains can be permanent if low quality detergents are used. Please take necessary effort to clean the stained clothes as described in following pages before washing them in the machine.

Your washing machine is designed only for domestic use.

If the power cord or the plug is damaged, please call a certified technician.

Always use new "water inlet hose" received within your machine.

Please perform the first wash with detergent, at COTTON 90 program and without placing your laundry inside the washing machine. This will ensure that the drum is free from any left over dirt from production.

Due to the quality control processes during production, there may be some water left over in your machine. This does not cause any damage to your product.

Part 3: Determining location and installation

1. Removing transport safety bolts at the rear of the machine

The transport safety bolts must be removed before any operation of the machine. Bolt heads, marked "C".

Illustration of a hand holding a mechanical component with an arrow indicating upward motion and a labeled point 'C' (no text or symbols beyond the label)

"C", should be turned in a anti clockwise direction until the bolt can be partially withdrawn.

Remove transport safety bolts and rubber bushes by pulling outwards. (A up/down action and a small squirt of washing up liquid should ease removal.)

Plastic plugs, supplied inside the protective bag and designated as "P", should be placed in the safety bolt holes according to the direction shown.

Attention!

Please keep the safety bolts for future transportation and reinstate them before transporting your machine. Never transport your machine without the transport bolts in position.

Never place your machine on a carpet. This prevents air circulation. The electrical components of the machine may overheat and may cause damage.

2. Feet adjustment

In order for quiet and stable operation, the machine should be placed properly and levelled on its feet. Your machine comes with two adjustable feet. If the machine is unstable, loosen the plastic counternut and screw or unscrew the adjustable foot until the machine is levelled perfectly. After positioning, tighten the counternut for stability.

3. Water connections

a) Water inlet hose

Cold water supply

For proper operation, the pressure of water should be between 100 kPa and 1000 kPa

To prevent water leaks sealing washers are supplied with the water inlet hose inside the machine, place these on each of the hose ends and tighten both ends fully. In order to prevent any water leak damages, keep the water taps closed when not in use. Connect the cornered end of the hose to the machine water inlet.

Hot water supply (only for hot and cold water inlet machines)

Pressure: 100 -1000 kPa Temperature: 60°C max. A hot water supply fed from a separate cold water tank will normally be suitable. Open outlet gas or electric water heaters must not be used. Multipoint water heaters or combination boilers may be suitable if they are designed to supply washing machines. (Check your boilers operation instructions or supplier.)

Connect the cold water using the hose with blue printing and connect the hot water using the hose with red printing.

b) Water drain hose

Water drain hose could be placed either at the side of the laundry tub, or directly to the drain. The hose should not be bent. Water drain hose should be secured with the elbow so that it would not fall down on the ground.

The hose should be placed between 40 and 100 cm. from the ground.

Functions

Prewash

A pre-wash is only worth while with heavily soiled laundry. Without prewash you save energy, water, washing powder and time.

Quick wash

Shortens washing time for lightly soiled fabrics. This function can be used for cotton and synthetic programs for temperatures below 60^irc C.

Rinse plus

Anti Creasing

To avoid wrinkling of your clothes, select this function. When Anti-Creasing is chosen please load less cloth, this way a special washing and spinning profile will reduce the wrinkles and your clothes will be easy to iron.

Spin Speed Selection

Using this button, you can select final spin speed up to 1200 rpm. If you do not want to apply spinning to your clothes, select "No Spin" option.

Part 6: Care and maintenance

Detergent dispenser

To clean the detergent residues, remove the detergent dispenser from its place by pressing on the area marked on siphon. Wash the dispenser with water and also clean the dispenser housing before inserting the dispenser to its place.

Leave the door slightly ajar when not in use. This preserves the door seal and prevents the formation of musty smells.

Siphon

Clean the siphon (coloured piece in the dispenser) every 30-40 washes. Pull out the siphon by holding from its edges. To prevent clogging, clean the softener residues thoroughly and make sure that the siphon fits into its place completely before any operation.

Water intake filter

At the end of the water intake connection module and water inlet hose-tap side, there exists filters. These filters prevent any dirt and objects passing into the machine. It is advisable that these filters should be cleaned every 30-40 washes. To clean the filter, first turn the tap off. Then, disconnect the hose and clean the filter with a thin brush. If the filter is very dirty, you may clean it by pulling out with pliers. To clean the filter at the tap side of the hose, pull it out by hand and clean the filter under the tap water.

Hose

To prevent any leakage, have a technician replace the hoses every two years. If the machine is placed at cold ambient temperatures, the water remaining inside the pump and hoses should be removed from the filters. Also to prevent freezing, empty the water intake hoses by disconnecting from taps.

Drum

Do not leave any metal objects (pins, needles, etc.) inside the drum. These objects may cause rust on the drum surface. Do not clean the drum with scratching elements.

Cleaning the pump filter

Remove the electrical power plug. Open the open the Kick plate cover located at the bottom right side of the machine by pushing on the marked area shown beside.

Attention! Hot water danger! It is possible that app. 15 lt, 90°C hot water is inside. Be careful while taking out the filter!

Before taking out the filter, drain the water by means of pump drain hose. Take out the pump drain hose from its place. Place a shallow container under the pump hose to catch the water. Remove the drain pump hose plug and drain the water.

When all water is discharged, insert the plug into the pump hose again and replace the pump drain hose in its place.

Open the filter while turning it counterclockwise, drain the left water (max 30 ml) on to the filter cover. If there are any residual parts inside the filter, take them out and clean the filter before replacing it. Then, place the filter while turning it clockwise and at the end, close the filter cover by pushing on the marked area again.

Attention! The filter and hose plug must be replaced correctly. Ensure there is no lint around the seal of the filter which could cause leaking.
