Installation

Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water, and waste water installations at the place of installation is the customer’s responsibility.
Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses as well as the power cable are not folded, pinched, or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or cleaning procedures.
The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorized persons.
Before installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.

Appropriate installation location

Place the product on a hard and level floor. Do not put it onto a carpet with a high pile or other similar surfaces.
If the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight – when loaded– amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the products on a solid and flat floor that has sufficient load-carrying capacity!
Do not place the product on the power cable.
Do not install the product in environments where the temperature falls below 0 ºC.
Leaving a gap at the sides of the machine is suggested to reduce vibration and noise
On a raised floor, do not place the product next to the edge or on a platform.
Do not place heat sources such as Hobs, Irons, Ovens, etc. on the washing machine, and do not use them on the product.

Removing packaging reinforcement
Tilt the machine backward to remove the packaging reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement that is attached to the ribbon. Do not attempt this operation alone, get help.

Removing the transportation locks

Lose all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
Remove the transport safety bolts by rocking them slightly.
Insert the plastic covers from the bag containing the user manual into the openings on the rear panel.

CAUTION

Remove the transportation safety bolts before operating the washing machine!
Otherwise, the product will be damaged. C Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.
Install the transport safety bolts in the reverse order of the disassembly procedure. Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting the water supply
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 the water pressure is higher.
CAUTION : 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.

Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
When the hose connection is completed, check whether there are no leak problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent
the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.

Connecting the drain hose to the drain
Attach the end of the drain hose directly to the waste water drain, lavatory, or bathtub.
CAUTION: Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is a 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 wastewater from siphoning 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, add an original extension hose. The 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 so as not to come off and/or leak.

Adjusting the feet
CAUTION: To ensure that the product operates more silently 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.
CAUTION: Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

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

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

Cottons 20-40-90
Use this programme for your cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

Synthetics
Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with a gentle action for a shorter washing cycle when compared to the Cottons programme. For curtains and tulle, it is recommended to use Synthetics 20˚C or 40˚C programme.

Hand Wash
Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.

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

Eco 40-60
The eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation. Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease.

Cottons 60
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 stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease more, providing a more economic wash.

Cottons 60° with Prewash
Use this programme only for heavily soiled cotton clothes. Add detergent into the prewash compartment.

Quick
Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

Shirts
This programme is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. It reduces wrinkles. Pre-treatment algorithm is executed. Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with detergent when the machine starts to take water from the main washing compartment. Thus the machine will wash them in a short period of time and expected lifespan of your shirts will extend.

Down Wear
Use this programme to wash your coats, vest, jackets etc. containing feathers with a “machine-washable” label on them. Thanks to special spinning profiles, it is ensured that the water reaches the air gaps amongst the feathers.

Drum Clean
Use regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene. Operate the programme while the machine is completely empty. To obtain better results, put powder lime-scale remover for washing machines into the detergent
compartment no. “2”. When the programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry. This is not a washing programme. It is a maintenance programme. Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that there is load inside and aborts the programme.

Special programmes
For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

Rinse
Use when you want to rinse or starch separately.

Spin+Drain
You can use this function to remove the water on the garment of drain the water in the machine.

Before selecting this programme, select the desired spin speed and press Start / Pause button. First, the machine will drain the water inside of it. Then, it will spin the laundry with the set spin speed and drain the water coming out of them. If you wish to drain only the water without spinning your laundry, select the Pump+Spin programme and then select the No Spin function with the help of Spin Speed Adjustment button. Press Start / Pause button. Use a lower spin speed for delicate laundries.

Speed selection

Press the indicated point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull the drawer towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. 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. In order to prevent the residues to contact your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush by wearing a pair of gloves.
Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

Cleaning the loading door and the drum
For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product – Programmes.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for washing machines.
After every wash make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the door bellow shown in the figure are blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum.
Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel.
Never use steel wool or wire wool. These will damage the painted, chromated and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the product 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.

Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the product 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 product. 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 too dirty, remove them from their places with a pliers and clean in this way.
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 seals and filters carefully and tighten their nuts by hand ensuring there are no leaks.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your product prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibres 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 product fails to drain water inside it, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter. In addition, prior to transporting the product (e.g., when moving to another house) water should be drained completely.

CAUTION: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your product or may cause noise problem.
CAUTION: In regions where freezing is possible, the supply tap must be closed, system hose must be removed and the water inside the product must be drained when the product is not in use.
CAUTION: After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected. In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water: Unplug the product to cut off the supply power.
CAUTION: Temperature of the water inside the product may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the product is cooled down.

Open the filter cover.
Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
If the product has an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water:
- Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat.
- 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 product completely. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
- Turn and remove the pump filter.
Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
Replace the filter.
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.
