operation
BEFORE EACH WASHING
- The ambient temperature of the appliance should be 5-40°C. If used below 0°C, the inlet valve and draining system may be damaged. If the appliance is installed under freezing conditions, it should be transferred to an environment with a normal ambient temperature to ensure the water supply hose and water discharge hose can unfreeze before use.
- Before each washing, sort your laundry by reading the care labels and the detergent use instructions. Use non-foaming or less-foaming detergents suitable for machine washing.
WARNING!
- Do not wash clothes that have been cleaned, washed, soaked in or dabbed with combustible or explosive substances such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, alcohol, kerosene or other flammable materials.
- Washing single items may easily create major eccentricity and cause vibrations and noise due to unbalance. Therefore it is suggested to add one or two more laundry items to the wash, so that spinning can be done smoothly.
PREPARING BEFORE WASHING
NOTE!
- Additional detergent needs to be added in compartment if the pre-wash function is selected.
WASHING
USING THE DISPENSER TRAY
A separator/divider tab is supplied with the washing machine, which allows
adding liquid detergent to the main wash compartment (left compartment).
- When using powder detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lifted.
- When using liquid detergent, the separator/divider tab should be lowered.
NOTE!
- Before adding hardened lumps of powder detergent or a thick stringy liquid detergent or additive into the dispenser tray, it can be diluted in some water before pouring it in, as it may otherwise clog the piping in the appliance and cause a water overflow.
- Choose a suitable type of detergent, suitable for the selected washing temperature and fabric, to get the maximum washing performance and a minimum of water and energy consumption.
- Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions, considering the washing temperature, washing programme, how soiled the laundry is, and water hardness.

troubleshooting
The washing machine will automatically control the operation of particular functions during the washing cycle. If any irregularity occurs, this will be identified by a message (E: XX) on the display. The appliance will report the error until it is switched off. External disturbances (e.g. the power grid) may result in various error reports. In such cases:
- Switch off the appliance and wait for a few seconds.
- Switch the appliance on and repeat the washing programme.
- Most errors during operation can be solved by the user.
- If the error persists, call the customer care service.
- Repairs may only be carried out by an adequately trained person.
- Repairs or warranty claims resulting from incorrect connection or use of the appliance shall not be covered by the warranty. In such cases, the costs of repair shall be charged to the user.
- The warranty does not cover the errors or failures resulting from external disturbances (lighting strike, power grid failures, natural disasters etc.).
TROUBLESHOOTING AND ERROR TABLE
- Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation.
- The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS (stability control system) will be activated.
- Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer programme duration. In extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the programme can be completed without the spinning cycle.
- The UKS (stability control system) allows stable operation and a longer useful life of the washing machine.
If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorised service technician. Repairs or warranty claims resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall not be covered by the warranty. In this case, the user will cover the cost of repair.
