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 ar e 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.
- Connect the special 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.
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.
-
Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench when tightening the nuts.
-
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.
A 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 or der 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.
- Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
- Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced.
- Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.
Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.
Electrical connection
Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with
the values in the “Technical specifications” table. 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.
- Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.
- The voltage and allowed fuse or breaker protection are specified in the “Technical specifications” section. If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 13 Amps, have a qualified electrician install a 13 Amp fuse.

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.
-
Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned. -
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.
-
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.
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.
For eign 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.
- Close the taps.
- 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 oo dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.
- Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
- 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:
-
Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC.To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down. -
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.If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open. You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.
-
Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water. Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose: 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: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. -
Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
-
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. -
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.
