• If the power cable or mains plug is damaged you must call Authorized Service for repair.
• Check water hoses for wear. Do not use old/used water inlet hoses. These may cause stains on your laundry.
• Fit the drain hose into the discharge housing securely to prevent any water leakage and to allow machine to take in and discharge water as required. It is very important that the water intake and drain hoses are not folded, squeezed, or broken when the appliance is pushed into place after it is installed or cleaned.
•  Your washing machine is designed to continue operating in the event of a power interruption. You cannot cancel any program by pressing the “On/Off button.” Your machine will not resume its program when the power restores.

Removing the 
transportation locks

							9EN
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. 
  
						

							10EN
• 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.
Adjusting the feet
A In order to ensure that the product 
operates more silent and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet.  Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.
1.  Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
2. Adjust the feet until the product stands level and balanced.
3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.
A Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.
Electrical connection
Connect the product to a grounded outlet protected by a fuse complying with the values in the "Technical specifications" table. Our company shall not be liable for any damages that will arise when the product is used without grounding in accordance with the local regulations.
•  Connection must comply with national regulations.
• Power cable plug must be within easy reach after installation.
• The voltage and allowed fuse or breaker protection are specified in the “Technical specifications” section. If the current value of the fuse or breaker in the house is less than 16
