Connecting the Water Supply
© It is necessary to have 10 – 80 litres of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure- reducing valve if the water pressure is higher. © It is also recommended to attach a pressure-reducing valve if you experience overflow from the detergent dispenser during water fill between 3.5 to 10 bars (0.35 to 1 MPa). 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.

1. Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
2. When the hose connection is completed, check whether there is leak problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully.
3. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent water leaks and resultant damage, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.

Adjusting the Feet
In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balance on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems. Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

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

Connecting the Drain Hose to the Drain
Attach the end of the drain hose directly to waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub. 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 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 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 wastewater 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.

Electrical Connection
Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a 16 A fuse. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations. Connection must comply with national regulations. The wiring for the electrical outlet circuit must be sufficient to meet the appliance requirements. Use of a Groud Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is recommended Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation. If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 16 Amps, have a qualified electrician install a 16 Amp fuse. The voltage specified in the “Technical specifications” section must be equal to your mains voltage. Do not make connections via extension cables or multi-plugs. Damaged power cables must be replaced by the authorised service agents.

Initial Use
Before starting to use the product make sure that the preparations are made which are in line with the *Important Safety and Environment Instructions” and the instructions in the “Installation” section. To prepare the product for washing laundry, perform first operation in the Drum Cleaning programme. If this program is not available in your machine, apply the method which is described in the section “Cleaning the Loading Door and the Drum”. Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines. © Some water might have remained in the product due to the quality control processes in the production. It is not harmful for the product.

PREPARATION

Sorting the Laundry
Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature. Always observe the instructions given on the garment care labels. Preparing Laundry for Washing  Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the product. Remove the metal pieces or wash such clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn the pockets inside out and brush.

Programme & Consumption Table (continued)
Please read the installation section of the manual before first use.  Water and power consumption may vary subject to changes in water pressure, water hardness and water temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry,
selection of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in the mains voltage. © When selecting a program, you can see the washing duration on the display of your machine. Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into the machine, there might be a difference of 1 to 1.5 hours between the duration shown on the display and the actual duration of the washing programme. The duration will be corrected automatically right after the washing programme has started. The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine.  Auxiliary function selection modes can be changed by the manufacturing company. Existing selection modes can be removed or new selection modes can be added.

Main Programmes
Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programs.

Cotton
You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bed linens, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this program. When you press the quick wash function key, the programme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing is ensured thanks to intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

Easy Care
You can use this programme to wash t-shirts, synthetic / cotton mix fabrics etc. Programme duration is notably shorter and efficient washing performance is ensured. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

Woollens / Hand Wash
Use this program to wash your woollen/delicate clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with very delicate movements to avoid any damage.

Additional Programmes
For special cases, additional programs are available in the machine. Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

Cottons Eco
Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water temperature may be different from the washing temperature stated. When washing less amount of laundry (e.g. half the capacity or less), the duration of programme steps may automatically become shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease more, providing a more economic wash. Moderately soiled laundry can be washed with a small amount of detergent to save energy and protect the environment.

Allergy+
Use this program for laundry that requires an intense, long, anti-allergic and hygienic washing cycle at high temperatures. A high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the long heating and additional rinsing step. The program was tested by the “VDE” institute while the temperature was 20°C, and its efficiency in bacteria and mould elimination was certified.

Delicates
You can use this program to wash delicate laundry such as cotton / synthetic mix knitted clothes or socks. Washing movements in this programme are more delicate. Set the temperature to 20 degrees or use the Cold Wash option for clothes whose colour you wish to preserve.

Daily Xpress / Super Short 14′
Use this program to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time. The programme duration can be reduced to 14 minutes when the quick wash function is selected. When the quick wash function is selected, a maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.

Dark Wash
Use this programme to preserve the colour of your dark-coloured clothes and jeans. This programme provides high efficiency in washing, thanks to a special drum movement, even at low temperatures. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or woollen shampoo for dark-coloured laundry. Do not wash your delicate clothes that contain wool etc. in this programme.

Mixed
You can use this program to wash cotton and synthetics together without the need to sort them.

Additional Programmes (continued)

Shirts
Use this program to wash shirts made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics together. This programme ensures that your clothes wrinkle less.

Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fires 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.

Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter (continued)
© Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem. 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.

Consumer Guarantees
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian / New Zealand Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

How to Make a Claim
You may make a claim under this warranty through our website, contacting our customer care line or via email. Contact details for Glen Dimplex Australia and New Zealand can be found at the end of this document.
To make a valid claim under this warranty, you must:

• Lodge the claim with us as soon as possible and no later than 14 days after you first become aware of the breakdown;
• Provide us with the product serial number;
• Provide us with reasonable proof of purchase for the product. This can take the form of a store receipt, new home handover form or other payment receipt documentation; and

Warranty Claims
If you make a valid claim under this warranty and none of the exclusions set out in Section 2 apply, we will, at our election, either repair the product or replace the product with a product of identical specification (or where the product is superseded or no longer in stock, with a product of as close a specification as possible). Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods. Products are designed and supplied for normal domestic use. We will not be liable to you under this warranty for business loss or damage of any kind whatsoever.
