DESCRIPTION

INSTALLATION

Shipping screws removal

1. Before starting the washing machine, remove the 4 shipping screws and rubber washers from the back of the washing machine. If the screws are not removed, they can cause strong  vibrations, noise and malfunction of the washing machine and will void the warranty.
2. Loosen the shipping screws by turning them counterclockwise with a suitable wrench.
3. Remove the shipping screws by pulling them straight out.
4. Insert the plastic plugs provided in the accessories bag into the holes left after removing the screws.
   Shipping screws should be stored for future use.
   

Note: Remove shipping screws before first use of the washing machine. Malfunctions caused by operating the washing machine with the installed shipping screws are not covered by the warranty.

Adjusting the leveling feet / adjusting the adjustable stops

1. Do not install the washing machine on a surface (e.g. carpet) that would prevent ventilation from below.
   • To ensure quiet, vibration-free operation, install it on a solid surface.
   • You can level the washing machine with the adjustable feet.
   • Loosen the plastic lock nut.

2. If you want to increase the height of the washing machine, turn the feet clockwise. If you want to lower the height of the washing machine, turn the feet counterclockwise.
   • Once the washing machine is levelled off, tighten the lock nuts by turning them clockwise.

3. Never put underneath the washing machine cardboard, wood or any other similar materials.
   • When sweeping and washing the floor on which the washing machine is placed, take care not to disturb the horizontal position of the washing machine.

Electrical wiring

• The washing machine requires power supply of 220-240 V, 50 Hz.
• The power cable of your washing machine is equipped with a grounded plug. This plug should always be inserted into a 10 A grounded outlet.
• If you do not have a suitable outlet and a grounded fuse, consult a qualified electrician.
• We are not liable for damages resulting from connecting the appliance to an ungrounded outlet.
  Note: Operating the washing machine at low voltage shortens the service life and reduces its efficiency.

PROGRAMS TABLE

NOTE: THE DURATION OF THE PROGRAM MAY CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF LAUNDRY, WATER TYPE, AMBIENT TEMPERATURE AND SELECTED  ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS.
() The program water temperature is at the factory default setting.
() If your washing machine has a quick wash function, you can enable the quick wash option on the panel and fill the machine with 2 kg or less of laundry and have it done in 30 minutes.
() Due to the short washing time of this programme, we recommend using less detergent. If the washing machine detects an uneven load, the program may last longer than 15 minutes. You  can open the washing machine door 2 minutes after the end of the wash cycle. (This two-minute period is not included in the duration of the program). According to Regulations 1015/2010 and 1061/2010, programme 1 is the ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and programme 2 is the ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’.

• The Eco 40-60 program can jointly clean normally soiled cottons with a recommended wash temperature of 40 ° C or 60 ° C in the same cycle and is used to assess compliance with EU  ecodesign legislation.
• The most energy efficient programs are usually programs that wash for longer at lower temperatures.
• Filling the household washing machine to the capacity specified by the manufacturer for the relevant programs will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Program duration, energy consumption and water consumption values may vary depending on the weight and type of load, selected additional functions, type of water and ambient  temperature.
• It is recommended to use liquid detergent for washing programs that wash at low temperatures. The amount of detergent depends on the amount of laundry and the degree of soiling.  Follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the amount used.
• The spin speed affects the noise and the residual moisture content. The higher the spin speed in the spin phase, the higher the noise and the lower the residual moisture content.
• You can access the product database, where model information is stored by reading the QR code on the energy label.
• Please refer to the last pages of this manual for a table of water and energy requirements for each programme.

Important information

• Use only detergents, fabric softeners and accessories suitable for automatic washing machines. Excessive foam formed and the automatic foam absorption system was activated due to the  use of too much detergent.
• We recommend regular cleaning of the washing machine every 2 months. Use the Drum Clean program for regular cleaning. If your washing machine does not have the Drum Clean  program, use the Cotton 90 program. If necessary, use only suitable descaling agents developed specifically for washing machines.
• Never open the door while the washing machine is in operation. You can open the washing machine door 2 minutes after the end of the wash cycle.
• Installation and repair work must always be performed by an authorized service representative to avoid possible risks. The manufacturer is not liable for damage that may occur during  processes performed by unauthorized persons.
