The drain hose can be positioned in two different ways:

• Place it in the wastewater drain pipe.
• Connect it to the drain pipe of the wastewater drain pipe.

Note: Ensure the acoustic foam/panel is assembled, as it can effectively reduce operating noise and provide a quieter, more peaceful living environment.

Operation

Quick Start

Attention! Before first use, ensure the washing machine is correctly installed. Your appliance has undergone a thorough inspection before leaving the factory. To remove any residual water and potential odors, it is recommended to clean the appliance before first use. To do this, run the Cotton program at 90 °C without laundry or detergent.

Calibration

It is recommended to calibrate the washing machine for optimal performance. This appliance can detect the amount of laundry loaded. This function optimizes performance by reducing water and electricity consumption, saving you time and money. Therefore, it is advisable to calibrate the appliance for optimal use.

1. Remove all accessories from the drum and close the door.
2. Insert the power plug into the wall socket.
3. Turn on the machine and simultaneously press the "Boost" and "Temp" buttons for 10 seconds until "t19" is displayed.
4. Press [▷II] to start the appliance and wait for "****" to be displayed.

Before Use

1. Plug in.
2. Open the tap.
3. Load.
4. Close the door.
5. Add detergent.

Note: Add detergent to compartment I if the pre-wash function is selected. Do not put washing balls in the detergent drawer.

Washing

1. Turn on.
2. Select a program.
3. Select a function or keep the default settings.
4. Press Start/Pause to start the program.

After washing, the buzzer will sound and "End" will be displayed on the screen.

Before Each Wash

• The ambient temperature should be between 5 and 40 °C for using the washing machine. If used at temperatures below 0 °C, the water inlet valve and drain system may be damaged. If the machine is installed in freezing conditions, it must be moved to a location with normal ambient temperature so that the water inlet hose and drain hose can thaw before use.

Laundry Sorting

• Check the care labels of your laundry and the instructions for your detergent before starting a wash. Use non-foaming or low-foaming detergents suitable for washing machines correctly.

1. Check the care label.
2. Sort laundry by color and textile type.
3. Remove all objects from pockets.
4. Tie long fabric bands and belts, close zippers and buttons.
5. Place easily tangling items and long-pile fabrics inside out.
6. Place small items in a laundry bag.

Warning! When washing a single item, the imbalance detected inside the drum could cause an error. It is therefore advisable to add one or two additional items to wash them together, to allow for smooth draining. Do not wash garments that have been in contact with kerosene, gasoline, alcohol, or other flammable materials. Do not wash, spin, or dry seat covers, carpets, or waterproof garments.

Recommendations for Detergent Use

Note: Detergent or fibrous additives can be diluted with water before being added to the detergent drawer to prevent blockage and water overflow. Choose a detergent type suitable for maximum washing performance with minimal water and electricity consumption. For optimal washing results, it is important to dose the detergent correctly. Use a reduced amount of detergent if the drum is not completely full. Always adjust the amount of detergent according to water hardness. If your tap water is soft, use less detergent. Choose the dose according to the degree of soiling of the laundry. Lightly soiled items require less detergent. High concentration detergents (concentrated detergents) require particularly precise dosing.

Signs of excessive detergent:

• Excessive foam formation
• Poor washing and rinsing results

Signs of insufficient detergent:

• Laundry becoming gray
• Accumulation of limescale deposits on the drum, heating element, and/or laundry
