Connecting the water supply hose
The water supply hose must be connected to the washing machine at one end and to the
water faucet at the other. Do not stretch the water supply hose. If the hose is too short and
you do not wish to move the water faucet, replace the hose with a longer, high pressure
hose.

water supply intake on the back of the machine. Tighten by hand.
2. Connect the other end of the cold water supply hose to your sink's cold water faucet
and tighten it by hand. If necessary, you can reposition the water supply hose at the
washing machine end by loosening the fitting, rotating the hose, and retightening the
fitting.
NOTICE The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using new hose-sets and that old hose-

remove the spacing ring before inserting the faucet into the adaptor.
Positioning the drain hose
The end of the drain hose may be positioned in three ways:
Over the edge of a sink
The drain hose must be placed at a height
of between 60 and 90 cm. To keep the drain
hose spout bent, use the supplied plastic hose
guide. Secure the guide to the wall with a
hook or to the faucet with a piece of string to
prevent the drain hose from moving.

Washing tips and hints
Sorting your laundry: Sort your laundry according to the following characteristics:
•
Type of fabric care label symbol: Sort laundry into cottons, mixed fibers, synthetics,
silks, wools and rayon.
•
•
•
Colour: Divide whites and colours. Wash new, coloured items separately.
Size: Placing items of different sizes in the same load will improve the washing action.
Sensitivity: Wash delicate items separately, using the Delicate wash program for pure
new wool, curtains and silk articles. Check the labels on the items you are washing or
refer to the fabric care chart in the appendix.
Emptying pockets: Coins, safety pins and similar items can damage linen, the washing
machine drum, and the water tank.
Securing fasteners: Close zippers and fasten buttons or hooks; loose belts or ribbons
should be tied together.
Prewashing cotton: Your new washing machine, combined with modern detergents, will
give perfect washing results, thus saving energy, time, water and detergent. However, if
your cotton is particularly dirty, use a prewash with a protein-based detergent.
Determining load capacity: Do not overload the washing machine or your laundry may
not wash properly. Use the chart below to determine the load capacity for the type of
laundry you are washing.
Fabric Type
Cotton / Coloured
Synthetics / Towel
Quick
Load Capacity
7.5 kg
4.0 kg
2.5 kg
Delicates
2.0 kg
Wools / Handwash
Curtain / Bedding
Duvet
2.0 kg
5.0 kg
1 king size (9 Tog)
Detergent tips: The type of detergent you should use is based on the type of fabric (cotton,
synthetic, delicate items, wool), colour, wash temperature, degree and type of soiling.
Always use "low suds" laundry soap, which is designed for automatic washing machines.
Follow the detergent manufacturer's recommendations based upon the weight of the
laundry, the degree of soiling, and the hardness of the water in your area. If you do not
know how hard your water is, ask your water authority.
Note: Keep detergents and additives in a safe, dry place out of the reach of children.

Electrical warnings
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions
in mind:
•
Operate the appliance only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your
appliance dealer or local power company.
•
Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this appliance is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other.
This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn't fit, contact
your electrician to replace your outlet.
•
•
Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the unit.
Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or
electric shock.
