RECOMMENDATION
- Before using your new washing machine, ask for help with the installation and putting in operation a qualified plumber or an authorized service center.
- Install the washing machine in a well ventilated area with adequate air circulation. Place the appliance so that it can fully open the washing machine door. The washing machine is not intended as a built-in or for integration into furniture sets.
- The ideal ambient temperature for the washing machine operation is 15°C to 25°C.
- Frozen hoses can rot and break. In areas where the temperature drops below freezing, the temperature may jeopardize the safe operation of electronic circuits.
- We recommend that the first washing cycle be undergone without laundry for „90° white cotton“ so that you pour in the second compartment of the detergent drawer ½ measuring cup of detergent.
- Since long term contact with air can lead to deposition of detergent or fabric softener, pour the detergent and fabric softener into the compartment until just before the intended wash.
- We recommend using the prewash program only for heavily soiled laundry.
- The amount of laundry loaded into the washing machine must not exceed the maximum permitted amount. Otherwise, the washing machine will run in the safe mode.
- Use the washing machine only for laundry that is labelled by the manufacturer as suitable for machine washing.
- When using fabric softener and similar products in your machine, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for detergent/fabric softener.
- Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the pockets of the laundry pieces put in the washing machine (nails, needles, coins, lighters, matches, clips, etc). These foreign objects could damage the washing machine.
- Washing very dusty clothing damages your washing machine. Shake heavily dusty clothing before placing it in the washing machine.
- Never open the detergent drawer while the machine is running.
- Never force open the door of the washing machine while it is running.
- Before opening the door, make sure that no water remains in the drum. Do not open the washing machine door if you see water.
- At the end of the program, wait at least 2 minutes and then open the door.
- Sulphur in decolourants may cause corrosion. Therefore never use decolourants in the washing machine. Never use substances containing solvents (e.g. benzine) in the washing machine.
- If you are not using the washing machine for longer time, unplug it, close the water supply and leave the door open. The interior of your machine will stay dry and free of odours.
- After testing at the end of the manufacturing process in the machine might remain a small amount of water, which does not constitute a risk of damage to your machine.
Danger of flooding
- Use a new set of hoses included with the appliance.
- Do not reuse the old hoses set.
- Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply and turn off the water supply after use.
- Do not place the drain hose of your machine in the sink, buckets or basins.

- Noise and residual moisture are affected by the spin speed. The higher the centrifugation speed in the centrifugation phase, the higher the noise level and the lower the residual moisture.
Adding detergent to the washing machine
The amount of detergent used in the washing machine depends on the
following criteria:
- If the laundry is only slightly soiled, do not prewash it. Put a small amount of detergent in compartment II of the detergent drawer.
- If the laundry is very dirty, select the pre-rinse programme and put ¼ of the detergent in compartment I of the detergent drawer and the rest in compartment II.
- Use detergents designed for automatic washing machines in the washing machine. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding the amount of detergent to be used.
- More detergent is needed in areas with hard water.
- The amount of detergent required increases with larger loads of laundry.
- Place fabric softener in the middle compartment of the detergent drawer.
- Do not exceed the MAX mark when refilling detergent or fabric softener.
- Thick fabric softeners or detergents can cause the socket to clog, so dilute them with a little water.
If there is too much detergent:
- A large amount of foam is produced during washing.
- The laundry will be badly soaped.
If the amount of detergent is insufficient:
- The laundry will turn gray.
- Scale will build up on the drum, heating element and/or laundry.
