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 – 10 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.
• To prevent flowing of dirty water back into the
machine and to allow for easy discharge, do
not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or
drive it in the drain 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.
