Installation
1. Unpacking:
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Remove the transport bolts located at the rear of the machine before use. Keep the transport bolts for future transport of the appliance.

4. Electrical Connection:
Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the voltage matches the specifications of the appliance (240 Volts). Do not use extension cords or adapters.
5. Leveling:
Adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the machine to ensure it is perfectly stable and level. This prevents excessive vibration and noise during operation.
Operation
1. Loading Laundry:
Open the washing machine door and load laundry loosely into the drum. Do not overload the machine; ensure there is enough space for the clothes to tumble freely. Close the door firmly.
2. Adding Detergent:
Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer. Add the appropriate amount of detergent to the main wash compartment and, if desired, fabric softener to its designated compartment. Close the drawer gently.
3. Selecting a Program:
Turn the program selector knob to choose one of the 16 available wash programs (e.g., Cotton, Eco, Wool, Mix, Quick, Sport, Intensive, Hygiene). The digital display will show the default time for the selected program.
4. Adjusting Settings (Optional):
Use the function buttons to adjust temperature, spin speed, or activate options like pre-wash or extra rinse, if available for the selected program.
- Delayed Start: Press the "Delayed Start" button repeatedly to set the desired delay time.
- Child Lock: To activate, press and hold the designated child lock button(s) for a few seconds until the indicator appears on the display. Repeat to deactivate.
5. Starting the Cycle:
Press the "Start/Pause" button to begin the wash cycle. The machine will automatically proceed through the selected program.
6. End of Cycle:
Once the cycle is complete, the machine will signal with an audible alert or a message on the display. Open the door and remove your laundry promptly to prevent wrinkles.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Exterior:
Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
2. Cleaning the Detergent Drawer:
Periodically remove the detergent drawer and rinse it under running water to remove any detergent residue. Use a brush if necessary. Reinsert the drawer once clean.
3. Cleaning the Drum:
Run a maintenance wash cycle (e.g., a hot wash with no laundry and a descaling agent) every few months to clean the drum and remove any buildup.
4. Cleaning the Drain Filter:
Locate the drain filter at the bottom front of the machine. Place a shallow container underneath to catch any water. Unscrew the filter, clean it of lint and debris, and then screw it back in securely.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, check the following common issues:
- Machine does not start: Ensure the power cord is plugged in, the door is closed properly, and the "Start/Pause" button has been pressed. Check the circuit breaker.
- No water filling: Check if the water tap is open and the water inlet hose is not kinked or blocked.
- Water not draining: Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the drain filter.
- Excessive vibration/noise: Ensure the machine is level and the transport bolts have been removed. Check that laundry is evenly distributed in the drum.
- Error codes: Refer to the full user manual (if provided separately by the manufacturer) for specific error code meanings and solutions.
