    CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY Attach the hose to the water tap by screwing it onto the thread. AQUA STOP TOTAL AQUA STOP REGULAR CONNECTION For normal washing machine operation, the pressure in the water mains should be between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa (0,5 - 8 bar). Minimum dynamic water pressure can be determined by measuring the water flow.

  • Page 20: Aqua Stop

    AQUA STOP (ONLY WITH SOME MODELS) If an internal tube or hose is damaged, a shut-off system is activated that cuts the water supply to the washing machine. In such case, the control glass (a) will turn red. Replace the water supply hose.

  • Page 21: Connecting And Securing The Water Discharge Hose

    CONNECTING AND SECURING THE WATER DISCHARGE HOSE Feed the water discharge hose into a washbasin or a bathtub, or connect it directly to a drain (discharge hose minimum diameter 4 cm). The vertical distance from the floor to the end of the discharge hose may be no more than 100 cm and no less than 60 cm.
  • Page 22 The discharge hose has to be attached and affixed to the pin on the back of the washing machine, as shown in the figure. If the discharge hose is not correctly attached, safe and correct washing machine operation cannot be ensured.

  • Page 55: Recommendations For Washing And Economic Use Your Washing Machine

    RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASHING AND ECONOMIC USE YOUR WASHING MACHINE Wash new coloured garments separately the first time. Wash heavily soiled laundry in smaller amounts, with more powder detergent or with a pre-wash cycle. Apply a special stain remover on stubborn stains before the wash. We recommend referring to STAIN REMOVAL TIPS.
  • Page 56 When using thick liquid laundry care products, we recommend diluting them with water to prevent clogging the dispenser tray drain. Liquid detergents are intended for washing programmes without a prewash cycle. At higher spinning rates, there will be less residual moisture in the laundry. As a result, drying in a tumble dryer will be more economical and faster.

  • Page 58 We recommend adding powder detergent immediately before the washing cycle. If you add it sooner, make sure the detergent compartment in the dispenser tray is completely dry before adding the powder detergent: otherwise, the powder detergent may cake before the start of the washing process.

  • Page 59: Stain Removal Tips

    STAIN REMOVAL TIPS Before using special-purpose stain removers, try using the natural methods that do not harm the environment on less stubborn stains. However, prompt action is required!

Stains Stain removal When the stain is dry, first scrape it off the garment before washing...
  • Page 60 Stains Stain removal Blood Fresh stain – rinse the garment with cool water and wash it in the washing machine. Dried stain – soak the garment in an enzyme-based stain remover.
