Removing packaging reinforcement

Tilt the machine backwards to remove the packaging
reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement by
pulling the ribbon.

Removing the transportation locks

A
Do not remove the transportation locks before taking
out the packaging reinforcement.
A
Remove the transportation safety bolts before operating
the washing machine, otherwise, the product will be
damaged.
1. Loosen all the bolts with a spanner until they rotate
freely (C).
2. Remove transportation safety bolts by turning them
gently.
3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in the User Manual
bag into the holes on the rear panel. (P)
C
Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to
reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved
again in the future.
C
Never move the product without the transportation
safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting water supply

C
The water supply pressure required to run the product
is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). 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 water
pressure is higher.
C
If you are going to use the double water-inlet product
as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the
supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating
the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a
blind stopper group.)
C
If you want to use both water inlets of the product,
connect the hot water hose after removing the stopper
and gasket group from the hot water valve. (Applies for
the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
A
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.
A
Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new
product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
1. Connect the special hoses supplied with the product to
the water inlets on the product. Red hose (left) (max. 90
ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose (right) (max. 25 ºC) is
for cold water inlet.
A
Ensure that the cold and hot water connections are
made correctly when installing the product. Otherwise,
your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing
process and wear out.
2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never use a wrench
when tightening the nuts.
3. Open the taps completely after making the hose
connection to check for water leaks at the connection
points. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove
the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the
seal. To prevent water leakages and damages caused
by them, keep the taps closed when the machine is not
in use.

Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to
the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.
A
Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of
its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is
risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To
prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the
discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.
• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40
cm, and 100 cm at most.
• In case the 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.
