Electrical Connection
Plug in the grounded plug at the end of the
power cable of the washing machine to a
grounded wall outlet which is fed with
suitable voltage and current.
Preparation
• Please note the followings before start
ing to wash your laundry:
- Have you plugged the machine?
- Have you connected the drainage hose
as necessary?
- Have you closed the front door?
- Have you opened the tap?
• If you are installing your machine by your-
self, please read the “Installation” section
first.
• Separation of the laundries to be
washed:
Please separate the laundries according to
their types (cotton, linen, synthetic, woolen,
etc.), dirtiness levels and washing tempera-
ture. Do not wash the white clothes along
with the colored ones.
Remove solid objects such as belts, cuff
links and curtain rods from the laundries or
put them into a washing bag.
Empty the pockets. Zip and button up. It
is recommended to place the very small
laundries such as baby clothes into the big
laundries such as pillowcases or put into a
special
washing filet in order to prevent them from
sticking between the bellows or slipping
into the cauldron, pump filter, hose and etc.
For stained laundries, see the Practical and
useful information section. Your machine
can wash the woolen clothes with a “Ma-
chine Washable” or “Unfeltable” label in the
special woolen program without damaging
them.
Sensitive clothes with a “Do not wash in the
machine” or “Hand-wash” (silk, pure wool,
cashmere and etc.) label can be washed in
the hand-wash program which is designed
specifically.
• To open the front door, grab the handle
and pull it. For your safety, the front door
of your machine can only be opened when
the machine is not operating. If the “door”
LED is on, the door can be opened.
• Loading the laundry into the machine:
Place the laundries by spreading and
without compaction. Place your hand
woven clothes into the machine by turning
inside out. When closing the door, make
sure that no laundry is in between the door
and the rubber bellows.
Push the front door to close it. If the front
door is not closed correctly, washing does
not start.
• The selection of detergent and soft-
ener:The detergent amount depends on
the hardness of water, the amount of laun-
dry and the dirtiness level of the laundry.
Recommended amounts are written on the
detergent package. If your laundries are
not very dirty and/or your water has a low
hardness, use less detergent as
recommended in the detergent packages.
Otherwise you may encounter excessive
foam.
You should use detergents that are
developed especially for automatic
washing machines. Avoid using bleachers
that contain chlorine or sulfur.
