Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.

i Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 10 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of

water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.

If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

If you want to use both water inlets of the product, connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper and gasket group from the hot water valve. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)

⚠️ Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.

⚠ Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 °C) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 °C) is for cold water inlet.

Technical line drawing of pipe fittings and connectors (no text or symbols)

⚠ Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process and wear out.

1. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench when tightening the nuts.

Illustration showing a hand holding a mechanical component and a close-up of its lever mechanism (no text or symbols present)

1. Open the taps completely after making the hose connection to check for water leaks at the connection points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not in use.

Connecting to the drain

- The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

⚠️ Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

- The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most. - In case the hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

- To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or drive it in the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.

- The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.

- If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and leak.

Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the product operates more silent and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

Line drawing of a simple washing machine with front panel and door (no text or symbols)

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced.
3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

4 Preparation

Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload; see, "Programme and consumption table".
• Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount recommended on the detergent package.

Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

Preparing laundry for washing

- Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.

Illustration of a person adjusting a bag with a belt (no text or symbols)

- Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.

- Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.

- Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.

- Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.

- Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.

- Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.

- Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.

- Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

- Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

- Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.

- Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.

6 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

Technical diagram showing a mechanical component with a downward arrow and a labeled 'MAX' (no text or symbols beyond basic labels)

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
   i If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.
2. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

Cleaning the loading door and the drum

Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.

i Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

i Foreign metal substances in your machine will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.

Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

⚠️ Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

Three variations of faucet installation diagrams showing different components (no text or labels)

1. Close the taps.

2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.

3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.

4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.

In addition, prior to transporting the machine (eg., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

⚠️ Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

⚠️ Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 °C. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

1. Open the filter cap.

If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.

a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat b. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After

the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.

c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.

Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:

Two-step diagram showing a washing machine with a rotary knob and a pan containing liquid (no text or symbols)

a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.
b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.
c. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Install the filter.

⚠️ If your product has a water jet feature, be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter while installing it into its housing. Seat the filter into its place completely. Otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.

1. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into

their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
