Water connections

a) Water inlet hose The specific hoses that come with the machine are connected to the water inlet valves on the machine. Red labeled hose is for hot water inlet and blue labeled hose is for cold water inlet. “If you are going to use your double waterinlet machine as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the stopper*, supplied with your machine to the hot water valve. If you want to use both water inlets of the product, you can 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. ” Since the connection points are under water pressure, turn on the taps to the maximum after the connection. Check if there is any water leakage at the connection points. In order to prevent the water leakages and the damages they may cause, keep the taps closed when you are not using the machine. Minimum 1 bar and maximum 10 bars of water flow from the tap is enough for your machine to operate efficiently. (In practice, 1 bar means that more than 8 liters of waterper minute flows from a full open tap.) Install the elbowed end of the hose to your machine. Hand-tighten the nuts of the hose, do not use a spanner
• Models with double water inlets can be used as a model with a single water inlet by using a plug. Plug should be installed to the hot water valve. A rubber gasket  should be used in order to prevent water leakage from the connection point. Do not connect the product with single water inlet to the hot water tap. The product may switch to the protection mode if the temperature of the water connected to a product with double water inlet through a Y part and single water inlet is above 40°C.
• a) Water drainage hose Water drainage hose can be attached to the side wall of a sink or bathtub. Hose should not be bend. When the drainage hose is hanged on a sink or bathtub, it can be secured with a hose bracket so that it will not fall.
• The end of drainage hose can be  connected directly to the waste water drainage hole or to the specific end that is installed to the outlet elbow of the sink. The hose should be installed to a height of 40 cm minimum and 100 cm maximum

• The selection of detergent and softener: The detergent amount depends on the hardness of water, the amount of laundry and the dirtiness level of the laundry. Recommended amounts are written on the detergent package.
  If your laundries are not very dirty and/or
  your water has a low hardness, use less detergent as recommended in the detergent packages. Otherwise you may encounter excessive foam.

• You should use detergents that are developed especially for automatic washing machines. Avoid using bleachers that contain chlorine or sulfur. Put the powder detergent and softener into the appropriate compartments in the detergent drawer and close the detergent drawer.

• Pour the softener as recommended in the package (generally <100ml; i.e. 1 tea cup) Never exceed the “MAX” marking. If you put more, it will mix into the washing water via siphon (III) and it will be wasted. In this case, it may be necessary to refill the softener. If the softener is condensed over time, it may be necessary to dilute with some water. Otherwise, condensed softener clog the siphon and block the flow.
