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.

Opening the transportation locks C Transportation safety bolts must be removed before operating the washing machine! Otherwise, the machine will be damaged! 1. Loosen all the bolts with a spanner until they rotate freely (“C”) 2.
Connecting to the water supply. Important: • The water supply pressure required to run the machine must be 1-10 bar (0,1 – 1 MPa). (Practically, it is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly.) Attach a pressure- reducing valve if the water pressure is higher. • Connect the special hose supplied with the machine to the water intake valves on the machine.
• 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 wet. Therefore, the heights described in the figure should be followed. • To prevent dirty water refilling the machine, and to allow for easy discharge, the end of the hose must not be submerged in the drain water.
Initial preparations for washing Sorting the laundry • Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Washing water Wash with Non machine temperature sensitive, short washable programmes. Bleach can be Do not use Dry-cleanable used...
