• Loosen the screws by rotating counterclockwise with a suitable wrench. (1 & 2)
• Remove the bolts by pulling them. (3)
• When the transport bolts have been removed, insert the plastic transport screw taps found in the accessories bag into the holes. (4)

Adjusting the feet

• For your machine to work efficiently with minimum vibration, it should be settled on flat, non-slippery, firm ground.
• You can adjust the balance of your machine by changing the positioning of its feet.
• First, loosen the plastic adjustment nut. (5)
• Adjust by rotating the feet upwards or downwards. (6)
• After the desired position has been reached, tighten the plastic adjustment nut again by rotating it upwards.

Note: Never put cartons, wooden blocks, or similar materials under the machine to balance irregularities in the level of the ground.

Important: The end of the water drain hose may be fitted directly to the wastewater outlet hole or a special apparatus mounted on the outlet bracket of the washstand.

Important: Never attempt to extend the water drain hose by adding extra parts.

Electrical

Any electrical work that is required to install this washing machine MUST be carried out by a qualified electrician.

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED

Before making any electrical connections, ensure that:

• The power socket is suitable for the maximum power of the washing machine (fuses in the power circuit must be 13 amp).
• The supply voltage should be the same as that indicated in the technical specifications and the appliance rating plate (located where shown).
• The appliance should be earthed and in compliance with the applicable law.
• Additional earth cables should not be necessary if the plug and socket are earthed. If necessary, an additional earth cable should be attached to the earth terminal on the back of the washing machine and earthed.
• When installed, the power socket must be within easy reach.
• The use of adapters, multiple connectors, or extension cables is not recommended.
• The appliance must be connected to a 220-240 volt 50-cycle AC supply by means of a three-pin socket, suitably earthed and protected by a 13-amp fuse.
• Should the fuse need to be replaced, a 13 amp fuse approved to BS1363/A must be used.
• The plug contains a removable fuse cover that must be refitted when the fuse is replaced. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the plug must not be used until a replacement cover has been fitted or the plug is replaced.
• A damaged plug should be cut off as close to the plug body as possible, the fuse should be removed, and the plug should be disposed of safely.

Programme Selection Guide

You can use softeners in all programmes (except spinning and draining programmes), optionally. When you arrange the quantity of the softener, follow the warning of the softener producer. Fill your softener in the (softener) compartment of the detergent drawer.

Due to the short washing time of this programme, we recommend that less detergent be used. The programme may last longer than 15 minutes if your machine detects an uneven load. You can open the door of your machine 2 minutes after the completion of a washing operation. (The 2-minute period is not included in the programme duration).

Note: Durations vary according to wash load (weight and type), tap water, ambient temperature and selected extra functions.

According to regulation 1015/2010 and 1061/2010, the programme 3 and the programme 4 are respectively the ‘Standard 60°C cotton programme’ and the ‘Standard 40°C cotton programme’.

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 this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

• The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and for longer durations.
• Loading the household washing machine up to the capacity indicated by the manufacturer for the respective programmes will contribute to energy and water savings.
• Program duration, energy consumption and water consumption values may vary according to wash load weight and type, selected extra functions, tap water and ambient temperature.
• It’s recommended to use liquid detergent for the washing programmes at low temperatures. The amount of detergent to be used may vary depending on the amount of laundry and the level of dirtiness of the laundry. Please follow the detergent manufacturer’s recommendations for the amount of detergent to be used.
• The noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed. The higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.
• You can access the product database where the model information is stored by reading the QR code on the energy label.

Important Information

• Use detergents, softeners and other additives suitable for automatic washing machines only. Excessive foam has occurred, and the automatic foam absorption system has been activated due to too much detergent usage.
• We recommend that periodic cleaning for washing machine every 2 months. For periodic cleaning, please use the Drum Clean programme. If your machine does not have the Drum Clean programme, use the Cottons-90 programme. When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.
• Never force the door open when your Washing Machine is running. You can open the door of your machine 2 minutes after the completion of a washing operation.
• Never force the door open when your Washing Machine is running. The door will open immediately after the washing cycle has ended.
• The installation and repairing procedures should always be carried out by the Authorised Service Agent in order to avoid possible risks. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorised persons.

Specifications may vary depending on the machine purchased.
