Removing Transportation Safety Bolts

1. Loosen all transportation safety bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
2. Bend the inner part by pressing it at the grip areas and pulling the part out.
3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User Manual Bag to the holes on the rear panel.

Connecting to Water Supply

1. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.

   leaks at the connection points. If any leak occurs, turn off the tap and remove
   the nut. Check the gasket and tighten the nut carefully again. To prevent water leaks and resultant damage, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.

Connecting the Drain Hose to the Drain

1. Attach the end of the drain hose directly to the wastewater drain, washbasin, or bathtub.
2. Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height

6. If the length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. The overall length of the hose shall not be longer than 3.2 m. To prevent water leaks, always secure the connection between the extension hose and the draining hose of the product with a suitable clamp so that it does not come off and cause leaks.

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling, and allowable water temperature.
• Always observe the instructions given on the garment care labels.

Preparing Laundry for Washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments, such as underwiring, belt buckles, or metal buttons, will damage the product. Remove the metal pieces or wash such clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or a pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets, such as coins, pens, and paper clips, and
  turn the pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or
  cause a noise problem.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Cleaning the Detergent Drawer: When to clean

• When you open the dosing tank cover and see a thickened non-fluid detergent or softener,
• If you are not satisfied with the washing results, it may be that the detergent or softener has become stiff and therefore cannot be taken into the washing area.
• If the liquid in the tank does not decrease, although dosing is selected, and you do not load detergents or softeners for a long time,
• If you want to change the washing ingredients you have filled in the chamber (for example, if you are not satisfied with the detergent and do not want to use it) or if you have done incorrect loading (for example, if you have placed detergent or
  softener in the detergent tank),
• If a different brand of detergent or softener will be added,
• If a washing agent with different specifications (e.g., if detergent is added for coloured ones when there is detergent in the tank for whites) is added,
• If a different-concentration washing agent is added (to avoid wasting the previously filled detergent, you can put them in the powder detergent compartment in the next washing and consume it by selecting the «powder detergent active» position on the screen).
• If the new softener has the same specifications but only a different scent, (it should be noted that the scent of the mixture will be different if it is added without cleaning the remaining softener,
• If it is not going to be used for a long time (e.g., at the time of moving to the
  summer house and at the time of return, for 3 months or more, the liquid washing agent may become denser and may become stiffer at the end, and may not make dosing, although the system indicates full.

Cleaning:
Before starting cleaning, unplug your appliance by pressing the On/Off button.

1. Press the blue part in the middle of the detergent drawer to pull it towards you and remove it.
2. Remove the drain stick located at the back of the drawer from its slot.
3. Place the slot behind the detergent drawer to be emptied towards the inside of the compartment to be emptied.
4. Gently push the drain stick into the slot behind the detergent compartment.
5. The detergent will start to pour into the container.
6. The same is carried out for the softener compartment.
7. The guides holding the top cover of the detergent drawer are removed with a
   flathead screwdriver (there are a total of 6 guides, two each on the right, left, and
   back of the drawer), and the inside of the drawer is washed.
8. After the completion of the washing process, the cover is inserted into the drawer.
   Make sure that all guides are in place. If the guides do not fit, liquid may spill from the drawer, or the detergent box may get trapped in the drawer rail or move with difficulty. Therefore, make sure that the guides are firmly seated.
9. Insert the drain stick back into its slot in the back of the drawer.
10. Refit the drawer by paying attention to its slot and slides, and push the drawer to close. Once detergents and softeners are added, they will be ready for use in dosed programs.
