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.
100cm
40cm

• 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.
