Electrical requirements 
Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply.
We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position.
Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Authorised Service Agent.
B This appliance must be earthed
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house.
The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved 
BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement 
fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.
Important
Fitting a different plug
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows:
1  Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’ or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green.
2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured black.
3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘L’ or coloured red.
With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician.

Preparing laundry for washing
• 
Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.  
						

							14EN
•  Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant’s socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.

Using detergent and softener
Detergent Drawer
The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:
- (I) for prewash
- (II) for main wash
– (III) for softener
– (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the softener compartment.
C The detergent dispenser may be in two different types according to the model of your machine as seen above.
Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents
• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• Never open the detergent drawer while the washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I). 
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II).
Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.
• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes. 
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.
A Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.
A Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values.
•  Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.
• Use concentrated detergents in the recommended dosage.
Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.
•  Use the dosages recommended on the package.
•  Do not exceed the (>max

putting in the detergent cup.
 
If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:
• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.
Using gel and tablet detergent
When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values. If there is not any instruction on the package, apply the following.
• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II) or directly into the drum before washing.
C Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.
C Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.
Using starch
•  Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.
Using bleaches
• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes. 
• When using oxygen based bleaches, follow the instructions on the package and select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.   
						

							17EN
• Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. “II” in the 
detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water.
Using limescale remover
•  When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only. 
•  Always follow instructions on the package.
