4.1.4 Connecting water supply
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.)
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.
A
CAUTION: Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.
Connect the special water supply 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.
Make sure that the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly when the product is
being installed. Otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process
and wear out.
1
2
Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when
tightening the nuts.
When hose connection is completed, check whether there is 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. In order to prevent the water leaks
and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use
the product.
4.1.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain
• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to 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 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.
A
• 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 waste water to go back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse
the end of the hose into the waste water 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, use it by adding an original extension hose. 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 as not to come off and leak.

* Sort laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
* Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.
4.2.2 Preparing laundry for washing
• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage
the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and
brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Only use the dyes / color changers and descaling agents which are appropriate to machine wash. Always
follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce
pilling.

4.3.7 Auxiliary function selection
Select the desired auxiliary functions before starting the programme.
Whenever a programme is selected, if a relevant auxiliary function is selected its related indicator light will
illuminate.
Indicator lights of the auxiliary functions that are not allowed to be selected with the current programme will flash and an
audio warning is given.
C
Furthermore, you may also select or cancel auxiliary functions that are suitable to the running programme
after the washing cycle starts. If the wash cycle has reached a point where no auxiliary function can be
selected, an audio warning will be given and the related auxiliary function's light will flash.
Some functions cannot be selected together. If a second auxiliary function conflicting with the first one is selected before
starting the machine, the function selected first will be canceled and the second auxiliary function selection will remain
active. For example, if you want to select Quick Wash after you have selected the Additional Water, Additional Water will be
canceled and Quick Wash will remain active.
C
An auxiliary function that is not compatible with the programme cannot be selected. (See, “Programme and consumption
table")
Some programmes have auxiliary functions that must be operated simultaneously. Those functions cannot be cancelled. The
frame of the auxiliary function will not be illuminated, only inner area will be illuminated.
• Prewash
A Prewash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled laundry. Not using the Prewash will save energy, water,
detergent and time.
• Quick
This function can be used in Cottons and Synthetics programmes. It decreases the washing times and also the
number of rinsing steps for lightly soiled laundry.
When you select this function, load your machine with half of the maximum laundry specified in the programme table.
C
• Rinse Plus
This function enables the machine to make another rinsing in addition to the one already made after the main
wash. Thus, the risk for sensitive skins (babies, allergic skins, etc.) to be effected by the minimal detergent
remnants on the laundry can be reduced.
• Anti-Creasing
This function creases the clothes lesser when they are being washed. Drum movement is reduced and spin
speed is limited to prevent creasing. In addition, washing is done with a higher water level.
• Rinse Hold
If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after the programme completes, you can use rinse
hold function to keep your laundry in the final rinsing water in order to prevent them from getting wrinkled
when there is no water in the machine. Press Start / Pause button after this process if you want to drain the
water without spinning your laundry. Programme will resume and complete after draining the water.
If you want to spin the laundry held in water, adjust the Spin Speed and press Start / Pause button.
The programme resumes. Water is drained, laundry is spun and the programme is completed.
• Night Mode
Use to wash the cottons with lesser energy consumption and silently. Spin steps are cancelled for a silent
washing and the cycle ends with the Rinse Hold step. After completion of the programme, run Spin cycle to
spin the laundry.
• Pet hair removal
This function helps to remove pet hair that remain on your garments more effectively.
When you select this function, Prewash and Extra Rinse steps are added to the normal programme. Thus,
washing is performed with more water (30%) and the pet hair is removed more effectively.
WARNING: Never wash your pets in the washing machine.
