Water inlet connection
Only a qualified engineer should install this machine
Your machine has a single water (cold) inlet.
To prevent leakages on the connection joints, 1 seal is included in the hose
packing, (Fit this seal on the end of the water inlet hose at the tap side.)
Connect the bracketed end of the water inlet hose to the water inlet valve at the
rear of the machine and the other end to your tap.
Water pressure of 0,1-1 MPa from your tap will enable your machine to work more
efficiently, (0,1 MPa pressure means water flow of more than 8 litres in 1 minute
from a fully opened tap).
After all connections are completed, check for leakages around the connection
joints by turning on your tap completely and seeing if any water escapes.
Be sure that water inlet hose is not folded, broken or crushed.
Mount the water inlet hose to a 3”/4 geared water tap.
Water discharge connection
Be sure that the water inlet hoses are not folded, twisted, crushed or elongated by
stretching.
The water drain hose should be mounted at a height of minimum 60 cm,
maximum 100 cm from the ground.

Using your machine
Open the door of your machine.
Place your laundry in your machine.
Note: Maximum loading capacity may vary based on the laundry type you
wash, degree of contamination and the programme you have chosen. Do
not exceed maximum dry loading capacity indicated in the programme table
for washing programmes.
You can take the following table of weights as an indication.

Place each piece of laundry into the machine individually.
Ensure that no laundry is caught between the cover and below the seal when
closing the door of your machine.
When closing the door, push the door of your machine until you hear the locking
sound – this indicates the door is fully closed.
Close the door of your machine properly; otherwise your machine will not start the
washing operation.
Detergent
The amount of detergent needed per cycle will depend on the following criteria:
Refer to detergent manufacturers guidlines to determing how much detergent is
needed. Do not prewash your less stained laundry items and only put a slight
amount of detergent in the 2nd compartment of the detergent drawer.
For very dirty and stained laundry items, select a programme including
prewashing, and put ¼ of the normal amount of detergent in the 1st compartment
of the detergent drawer then put the remaining ¾ of it into the 2nd compartment.
Use detergents produced for automatic washing machines in your machine. The
amount of detergent you should use for your laundry is printed on the detergent
package.
The more hard the water used is, the more detergent you will use.
The amount of the detergent you will use will increase as the amount of your
laundry increases.
Put the softener in the softener compartment in the detergent drawer. Do not
exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, softener will flow into the washing water when
flushing through.

Softeners with a high density should be thinned to a degree before being put in
the drawer. This is because high-density softener will clog the flush and avoid the
flow of the softener.

Maintenance and Cleaning
When cleaning your machine, ensure that the machine is unplugged and the water
supply is closed off.
Water Inlet Filters
Filters are used to avoid dirt and foreign substances in the water from entering the
machine. These are on the tap and on the ends of water valves along the water inlet
hose of your machine. If your machine cannot intake sufficient amounts of water
despite the tap being open, these filters should be cleaned.
Detach the water inlet hoses.
Remove the filters on water inlet valves using pliers and then clean it with a brush
in water.
Disassemble the filters on the tap end of the water inlet hoses manually and clean
it.
Having the filters cleaned, you can fit them in the same way reversely.
CAUTION: Filters of water inlet valves may be clogged due to a contaminated
water tap or lack of necessary maintenance or valves may be broken down, causing
water to leak into your machine continuously. Breakdowns that may arise because
of these reasons are not covered under warranty.

Cleaning the pump
A filter system is available which avoids threads from your laundry and tiny materials
from entering into the pump during the water discharging operation carried out by
your machine after completing washing. This prolongs the lifecycle of your pump. It is
recommended that you clean your pump filter once in 2 months. To clean pump filter:
Depress the lug downwardly to uncover the pump section of the toe board and
pull it towards yourself and extract it.
Before opening the filter cover, place a towel on the ground immediately in front of
the filter hole to soak up remaining water.
Loosen the filter cover in and allow water to flow out.
Clean the foreign objects present in the filter.
Check whether the pump rotates with your hands.
After cleaning the filter, fit the filter cover by rotating it clockwise.
Fit the pump section of the toe board.
Remember that water will leak if you do not fit the filter cover properly.
WARNING!
As water in the pump may be hot, do not remove the filter cover until the machine
