Secure the feet after adjustment by tightening the lock nuts on all 4 feet.

ATTENTION
Firmly tighten the locknuts of all four feet against the machine body after
adjustment.

NOTE:

• A proper placement and leveling of the machine guarantees its long-term, stable and reliable operation.
• The washing machine should be installed absolutely level and stably.
• The machine should not rock or wobble under load.
• Avoid contact of the machine feet with moisture. Otherwise vibration or noise may occur.

ATTENTION
If the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor, make sure that its base is raised above the carpet pile. Otherwise ventilation may be hindered or impossible.

CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY

**ATTENTION**
Connection of the appliance to water supply should only be performed by a
skilled technician.

NOTE:

• The water supply pressure should be within the range of 0,3 to 1 mPa (0,3 10 kg/cm2 ). If the pressure exceeds 1 mPa a pressure-reducing device should be installed upstream of it.
• Do not apply excessive force when screwing the water supply tube onto the tap.
• Regularly check condition of the tube, replace if necessary.
• Use only brand new water supply tubes for washing machines, do not use old tubes e.g. used with the pervious machine.

ATTENTION
Connect the washing machine only to the cold water supply piping. The internal components of the machine are not made of materials suitable for hot water. Besides, the supply of hot water into the machine will disturb the temperature modes during washing and cause damage to your laundry. Hot water may contain anti corrosion additives which are detrimental to the internal parts of the washing machine.

CONNECTING THE INLET TUBES AND VALVES

1. Check the availability of the rubber gaskets on both sides of the flexible tube. If necessary, insert the rubber gaskets into the threaded fittings of each hose end for sealing the connections.
2. Usually, on the water supply piping side, the tube is connected to a three way valve attached to the tube to provide water cutoff from the machine. Screw the ring nut of the tube onto the valve by hand as firmly as possible, then tighten by a quarter or half turn with a suitable tool. Do not overtighten the nut, as this may rupture the gasket and cause a leak.
3. After connecting open the valve to flush any contaminants (dirt, dust, sand) from the tube that may have gotten inside during installation. Collect the water in a bucket or basin.
4. Screw the ring nut of the tube onto the washing machine inlet, then tighten it the same way as on the water supply valve.

NOTE: Every time you open the water supply valve after connecting it to the
machine, do it slowly to prevent surge (hydraulic shock) and damage to the internal component of the machine. Close the water supply valve every time after using the machine to prevent leaks and spillage

ATTENTION
Do not try to extend the water supply tube yourselves! If the water supply tap is
located too far away from the machine, buy a longer tube.

NOTE: The washing machine can be connected to water supply via an ordinary domestic tap. In this case all the same requirements should be observed, besides, to avoid spillage, please ensure that the connection between the tap and the hose is tight and secure and the tube will not come off the tap. However, this connection method is not recommended and can only be applied if a fixed connection to water supply is not possible.

DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION

**ATTENTION**
Connection of the appliance to the drain should only be performed by a skilled technician.

1. One end of the hose is fixed to the appliance. Do not pull it out or force it in.
2. The other (free) end of the hose can be routed into a bathtub, sink, or connected to the drain (sewage) piping.
3. If the free end of the hose is routed into a bathtub or sink, it should be firmly secured (e.g. with a special bathtub clamp). A loose hose can easily fall off because of the water pressure and cause spillage.
4. When connecting the hose to the drain pipe, make sure it is not inserted too deep so as not to obstruct the sewage flow. If the hose is too long – cut it down to size.
5. In any case please avoid the siphon effect when connecting the machine to the drain; otherwise the water will not stop running. For this purpose a part of the hose should always be raised at least 60 cm above the floor. Besides, the free end of the drain hose should not be submerged in water (therefore please avoid connecting the hose to the sewage pipes with a constant water flow).
   

NOTE: If the free end of the hose is routed into a sink, use a special holding clamp (bracket) as in the case with a bathtub; secure the clamp with a chain or rope.

CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY

1. The washing machine should be connected to a properly installed grounded electric socket protected by an automatic circuit breaker of 16A rating.
   For added safety it is recommended to connect the washing machine to a
   dedicated lead (socket) assigned in the switchboard and used exclusively to
   connect the washing machine, protected by a dedicated differential current
   circuit breaker or a combined automatic circuit breaker and ground fault
   circuit breaker (GFCI).
   The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage if the machine is connected to a power supply circuit without a functioning earthing connection installed in accordance with local regulations.

2. The electric circuit to which the machine is connected should be locatedin a easily visible and accessible place, within 1 m to the left or right of the appliance. Please prevent situations when the power cable can be jammed, tugged at or trampled upon.

3. Never use extension cables or cluster type power sockets to connect the appliance. This is critical to avoid loose contacts or contacts with insufficient area and thus to prevent fires. Never connect the appliance via an external timer.

4. If the power cable is damaged it shall only be repaired by a properly qualified technician at a service center.

OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE

**ATTENTION**
Before doing your laundry ensure that the washing machine is installed properly in accordance with our instructions. The appliance has undergone quality acceptance tests at the factory, therefore it may contain water and show minor traces of test operation

ATTENTION
In order to eliminate any foreign smells and clean the washing machine before first use, we recommend running the “Hypoallergenic Wash” at 85 °С without clothes and detergents.

Do not worry if the smell has not gone completely. There may be the smell emitted by plastic and rubber components that have become very hot during operation.

In this case either run another washing cycle without clothes at a high temperature, or wait for the smell to disappear after the first two or three washing cycle.

BEFORE WASHING

1. Connect the machine to power supply.
2. Open the valve to which the water supply tube is connected.
3. Load the clothes into the machine.
4. Firmly close the door.
5. Add the detergent.

NOTE: We recommend leaving the washing machine door open to allow the
moisture inside to evaporate.

PREPARING YOUR LAUNDRY

Sort your clothes to achieve optimal washing results, then prepare them in accordance with the symbols on the washing instruction labels

SORTING (Fig. 2)

• For more efficient washing sort your laundry in accordance with the care
  instructions, fabric type and recommended washing temperature; wash your laundry at the proper drum rotation speed.

• Different fabrics should be washed at different temperatures and drum rotation speeds.

• By all means sort dark clothes out from light-colored and white clothes. Wash them separately, as dyes and pile can migrate and discolor light-colored and white clothes. If possible, do not wash heavily contaminated clothes together with cleaner clothes.

NOTE:

• Degree of contamination (high, normal, low): sort the clothes according to contamination degree. Use longer and more intensive washing for medium and highly contaminated clothes. Lightly contaminated clothes may be washed at a lower temperature to save power.
• Color (white, light-colored fabrics, dark fabrics): Separate white clothes from colored clothes. First wash newer dark and colored clothes separately from the rest.
• Pile (pile fabrics, clothes that gather pile): wash pile fabric clothes andclothes that gather pile from other clothes separately from the rest.
• Clothes with metal components (e.g. bone bras, belt buckles, metal buttons) can damage the washing machine. Remove metal components before washing or place the laundry into a mesh bag or pillow case. Besides, items like snickers should be washed in a mesh bag to protect the items themselves from wear. A mesh bag is also handy for washing small items (Fig. 5).

CHECKING THE GARMENT CARE LABELS (Fig. 1)
The symbols used to indicate fabric composition and washing instructions

| Hand wash only / Wool, silk
| No washing

NOTE: The lines under the symbols indicate the fabric type and the maximum
allowable mechanical stress.

CHECKING THE CLOTHES BEFORE LOADING

• Wash large and small items together. Load large items first.

• Large items should not take up more than half of the batch. Do not washsingle items to avoid drum imbalance. Always add one or two more items.

• Check the pockets and make sure they are empty. Objects like nails, pins,
  matches, pens, coins or keys can damage both the machine and the clothes (Fig. 3).

• Zip up the zippers, hook the hooks, tie the laces so that they do not get entangled with other clothes (Fig. 4).

• Apply some detergent dissolved in a small amount of water to stains before placing the garment into the machine, so that the stains come off easier.

• Spread out curtains before putting them into the washing machine. Remove any attachment brackets before washing.

• Zip up the zippers, sew on loose buttons, mend holes and stitch up ruptures.

• Do not wash white and colored laundry together. New colored clothes can stain other clothes. Wash colored items separately.

• Use only such detergents, color fresheners and tinctures as are suitable for machine washing. By all means observe the instructions provided on the packaging.

• Turn trousers and fine laundry inside out before washing (Fig. 6).

• Shake items heavy soiled by flour, lime, milk powder, etc. before putting them into the washing machine. Such contaminants can accumulate inside the
  washing machine and eventually cause damage.

• Check the folds of the door seal and remove any small objects stuck in it.

ATTENTION

Ensure that no clothing items are jammed between the door and door seal, otherwise they can be damaged during washing. Remove any foreign objects stuck in the door seal to prevent damage to the seal and the laundry.

CLOTHES NOT SUITABLE FOR MACHINE WASHING

• Ties, vests, etc. that can shrink after machine washing.
• Garments with folds and embossing that can be deformed during machinewashing.
• Garments made completely or partially of fur.
• Garments with decorations.
• Avoid washing items with missing manufacturer’s washing instruction labels.
• Never wash clothes contaminated by gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, paints, solvents and alcohols.
• Items made of waterproof materials are not machine washable. Trying to wash such items can cause machine overfilling, spillage and excessive vibrations during rinsing and drying, as well as damage to the items themselves (such as skiing suits, raincoats, umbrellas, car seat covers, tents, sleeping bags, etc.). Water trapped inside the waterproof items cannot be fully drained and may imbalance the drum, causing vibration and displacement of the machine.

ITEMS THAT CAN EASILY MAT TOGETHER

Items that can easily mat together (e.g. downy knits), should be turned inside out before washing. Such items should better be washed separately, as they may damage other clothes and become damaged by them. For the same reason it is preferable to wash black and colored cotton garments separately.

USING THE DETERGENT TRAY

1. Compartment   is used for detergent powder.

2. Compartment  – for liquid detergent.
   NOTE: never use powder and liquid detergent together (only one or another).

3. Compartment  for laundry conditioner/rinsing agent.

NOTE: Always add liquid detergent immediately before starting the selected
washing program. If added in advance or if delayed start is used the detergent may harden inside the machine. Check that the liquid detergent has a proper degree of fluidity. If necessary, dilute it with water.

**ATTENTION!** Never fill the detergent to above the «MAX» mark.

The laundry detergent should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and selected according to fabric type, color, degree of contamination and the washing temperature. Please use only detergents designed specifically for machine washing.

• If there is too much foam, reduce the amount of detergent. Excessive detergent produces too much foam, which lowers the washing quality and overloads themotor.
• The quantity of detergent can depend on water temperature, water hardness, the size and contamination degree of the items to be washed.

AUXILIARY MODES AND FUNCTIONS

WASH END DELAY TIME SELECTION
This function allows to delay completion of the washing cycle for 3 to 24 hours, in 1-hour increments. For examples, if you have selected the «Cotton» program (without the auxiliary functions the programs takes 57 minutes), and set the end delay time to 10 hours, then the wash will start after 9:03 hours and complete after 10 hours.

This is very useful if you want to complete your laundry by a definite time (e.g.
by the time you come home), or wish to postpone it for the night because of more favorable nighttime electricity tariffs. In order to activate this function, select the desired completion time before starting the washing program by repeatedly pressing the «Wash End Delay» button. The display will show the relevant indicator (a timer icon). To reset – turn the selector dial to any position other than the current one. The timer icon on the display will disappear.

NOTE: If you set the start delay, do not use liquid detergent, as it is prone to
hardening and can stick to the internal parts of the machine if it is not immediately dissolved in water. The wash end delay function is not available for some programs.

WASHING TEMPERATURE SELECTION
By repeatedly pressing the «Temperature» button you can select one of the available temperature settings available on the control panel (20 – 40 – 60 – 80 – 85 °С), if this is provided by the program. To select cold water washing press the button until the symbols «- -» appear on the display.

DRYING SPEED SELECTION
By repeatedly pressing the «Speed» button you can select the desired tumbledrying speed in rpm from the options available on the control panel (if this is provided by the program), as well as disable the drying cycle for the current cycle; in this case keep pressing the button until the symbols «- -» appear on the display.

Available values: 0 – 500 – 700 – 900 – 1200 – 1400 rpm.
Disable the drying for items requiring careful handling (e.g. for woolen garments, delicate fabrics or sports thermal underwear).
Note. If you start the separate «Spin» program when the speed setting is set to («- -») the machine will only drain the water.

DRYING

This washing machine can dry your laundry by two methods:

• by automatically setting the required time (Auto);
• for a time selected by the Use

By repeatedly pressing the «Drying» button you can select either the first
method (Auto) or any of the following drying times: 30 – 60 – 90 – 120 – 150 –180 – 210 – 240 minutes.

In order to add drying to a washing program, select the program (except for the «Drying» program), then follow the above instructions. If you wish to apply drying as a separate program, first select the separate «Drying» program with the selector dial, then set the drying method as described above.

Items including natural or synthetic padding should only be dried by the automatic method (Auto) and only by adding the «Drying» function to the washing program; never use the separate drying program for such items.

NOTE: When the automatic drying method is selected the machine will first
calculate the time from the laundry weight, and then adjust the drying time depending on the current humidity of the clothes. If the clothes are too wet or the load is too heavy, the value of «0:20» may stay unchanged on the display for a prolonged time.

**ATTENTION**
BE CAREFUL when drying certain items made of synthetic fiber, wool, delicate, «breathing» or other specialty fabrics, as such items may shrink, deform or otherwise become damaged at a high temperature. Please check the garment manufacturer’s care instructions. When choosing the drying time, ensure that it is adequate for the amount and degree of humidity of the laundry loaded into the machine, to avoid over-drying. You should rather select a shorter time and then run an additional drying cycle than damage expensive and valuable clothes.

**ATTENTION**
The water supply valve should by all means be open during the drying cycle, as water is a part of the drying technique.

NOTE: Before applying the «Drying» program apart from washing, we recommend predrying the wet clothes with the «Spin» program.
STEAM
You can use the steam treatment function for smoothing out creases (which may
be caused by drying), softening the clothes for subsequent ironing or for refreshing clothes.

Press the «Steam» button (after selecting the washing program and before starting it) to activate this function: at the end of the washing cycle and after all other auxiliary functions are completed the clothes will be treated by hot steam.

STAINS
The machine can adapt the washing technique to the type of contamination.
The drum rotation speed and patterns, the settling times between rotation cycles, the water temperature, all of it is adjusted to best suit the type of stains that you select. By repeatedly pressing the «Stains» button select one of the 8 stain types so that the machine can concentrate on removing them: food fats, juices, colorants, blood, milk, red wine, soli (dirt), stains from grass and leaves.

DRUM CLEANING
The drum of the washing machine contacts dirty clothing and detergents. Bacteria and detergent residues can accumulate in the drum over time. High humidity inside the machine which lasts for a long time after laundry completion, contributes to the buildup of mould and putrid smell. In order to extend the service life of the washing machine and keep the drum clean, wipe the inside of the drum (including the folds of the rubber seal) dry after each laundry and regularly use the «Drum Cleaning» function.

1. Before activating the drum cleaning function, ensure that there is nothing left in the drum.
2. Add a special drum cleaning detergent for automatic washing machines into the main wash detergent compartment.
3. Select the program and press the «Start/Pause» button. The cleaning is performed at 85 °С.
4. Wait for the program to complete and wipe the inside of the drum with a soft dry cloth.

CHILD LOCK FUNCTION
This function allows keeping the safety of your children and the appliance under
control.

This function is activated after a program is selected and started by holding down the «Speed» button for 3 seconds. The relevant indicator will appear on the display. All functions and modes of the machine will become inaccessible. In order to deactivate the function repeat the same actions as for activating it (the indicator will go out). NOTE: With the child lock activated you can still turn the machine off with the selector dial. When the machine is turned on again it will restart the program from the moment at which it was turned off.

SILENT MODE
For disabling the audio signals simultaneously hold down the SPEED and SMART buttons for 3 seconds. All signal and alarm sounds will be disabled. Re- activate the sounds in the same way.

SMART MODE
If you are tired, in a hurry or simply don’t like to figure out the right washing parameters, the machine can do it all by itself. In the SMART mode the washing machine evaluates the parameters of the loaded laundry and automatically selects the duration, temperature (usually within a 20to 40 °С range), number of rinsing sub-cycles, etc. This mode van be easily started in one of the following ways.

1. With the machine turned off – by holding down the SMART button for 3 seconds.
2. With the machine turned on – either as described under Item 1, or by pressing the SMART button once and then pressing the «Start/Pause» button.

NOTE: The SMART mode is designed for washing laundry made of cotton, linen, synthetic or mixed fabrics, with a mild degree of contamination, worn every day. For heavy or unusual contamination, or for laundry requiring special care, please use the specialized programs.

CHANGING SETTINGS DURING PROGRAM EXECUTION
Even when the washing has been already started you can still adjust its settings.
For this purpose put the currently running program on hold by pressing the «Start/ Pause» button. Change the settings or add/or auxiliary functions. If the current stage of the washing cycle allows making the selected changes, they will be implemented.

Resume machine operation by pressing the «Start/Pause» button. NOTE: Do not add detergent if you have changed the program.

LAUNDRY TOP-UP
To load additional clothes into the machine, put it on hold by pressing the «Start/ Pause» button. If the water level allows this and the temperature inside is not too high, the door will unlocked (the relevant indicator will disappear). Open the door, add clothes into the drum (do not exceed the maximum batch weight). Close the door and resume machine operation by pressing the «Start/Pause» button.

INTERRUPTING THE CURRENT PROGRAM
You may need to prematurely abort the machine operation. If the water level is below the loading door opening, simply hold down the ON/OFF button. If the temperature inside is safe the door will unlock (the relevant indicator icon will go out). If there is enough water inside the machine that it would spill on the floor when the door is opened, the machine will have to be drained. To do that turn the machune off by holding down the ON/OFF button. The current program will be aborted. Then turn the machine on and select the «Spin» program and set the speed to («- -»). Water will be drained from the machine and the door will unlock upon program completion. You can now turn the machine off.

IMBALANCE PROTECTION
The machine is equipped with an automatic system that detects an imbalance. If, before  the start of tumble-drying the machine detects that the laundry is unevenly distributed in the drum, the latter will rotate until the imbalance is rectified. However, if this process takes too long without success, the spinning will be aborted to prevent excessive vibrations. Should this happen, please ensure that the clothes inside the machine are not entangled or caught together and start the «Spin» program after manually distributing the laundry.

If there is a few clothes in the machine (e.g. a single pair of jeans or a bog towel), the machine may refuse to start tumble-drying because of an obvious imbalance. Therefore, please add a certain quantity of smaller items to every batch, so as to ensure an even distribution of laundry during tumble-drying.
