Washing Machine / User’s Manual 35 / EN

4.1.4 Connecting water supply

C
The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 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.)

A
CAUTION: 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.

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

Connect the special water supply hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the
product. Red hose (left) (max. 90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is
for cold water inlet.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when the product is
being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process
and wear out.
1 Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when
tightening the nuts.
2 When hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak
problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any
leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut
carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water leaks
and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use
the product.
4.1.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain
• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.

A
CAUTION: Your drain 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! In order to prevent such situations and make sure that the machine
performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.

• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm

and a maximum height of 100 cm.
• In case the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the
floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above
100cm

the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and

the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore,
40cm

follow the heights described in the figure.

• To prevent the waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse
the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for 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.

instructions written on the package and follow the dosages specified. Use measuring cup if available.

2 3 1

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

– (1) for prewash
– (2) for main wash
– (3) for softener
– ( ) in addition, there is a siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment
(compartment nr. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr.
"1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the
detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent container into the main wash
compartment (compartment number “2”).
Choosing the detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the fabric type and color.
• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely
for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

A CAUTION: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

CAUTION: Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and
water hardness.
• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid
problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.
Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:
• Put the liquid detergent container into the
compartment no “2”.
• If the liquid detergent lost its fluidity, dilute it
with water before putting it into the detergent
container.

Washing Machine / User’s Manual 39 / EN

 If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the
Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup,
put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine
contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the
drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly into the drum
before washing.
Using starch
• Put the liquid soda, powder soda or the fabric dye into the softener compartment.
Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using limescale remover
• When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.
Using bleaches
Add the bleach at the beginning of the washing cycle by selecting a prewash program. Do not put detergent
in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add
the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing
step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin
irritation. Do not pour the bleach onto the laundry and do not use it with the colored items.
• When using oxygen-based decolorant, select a program which washes the laundry at a low temperature.
• Oxygen-based decolorant can be used with the detergent; however, if it is not at the same consistence, first

nuts by hand.

4.4.5 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 (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of
the water, water may have to be drained completely.

A
CAUTION: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
CAUTION: If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut, remove mains pipe and drain the water inside the machine
against any likely freezing.

CAUTION: After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
1 Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

A CAUTION: Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter
after the water inside the machine is cooled down.
2. Open the filter cover.

3 Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.

Washing Machine / User’s Manual 53 / EN
