 Cautions
• Be sure to remove transport brackets prior first use of the appliance. Attempted operation of the blocked
machine may result in irreparable damage which is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty!
• Remove the protective film from the display.
• When connecting your washing machine to water supply, be sure to use brand new water inlet hose
and appropriate sealing gaskets (attached).
• Do not locate the machine in a room with temperature below 0°C. Parts of the machine may be
damaged if frozen.
• Install the washing machine in a perfectly horizontal position, on solid flat concrete floor.
• Follow the instructions for correct installation and water and mains connections.
• Never immerse the end of the drain hose into the draining water.
• Use only detergents and softeners for machine wash. Manufacturer may not assume responsibility for
any damage and eventual discoloring of gaskets and plastic components as a consequence of incorrect
use of bleach and/or coloring agents.
• We recommend removing any impurities from the washing machine drum before washing your first
batch of laundry. To do this, run the Cotton 95°C program without any laundry and with a small amount
of powder detergent. Before running the program, make sure the washing machine drum is really
empty.
• For removal of lime residues use such agents with added anti-corrosion agents. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Finish the lime removal by multiple rinsing to remove completely eventual
acid residues.
• Never use detergents containing solvents, since there is a danger of creating toxic gasses which may
damage the machine and result in ignition or explosion.
• Upon completion of washing operation close the water faucet.
• Before any transport block the machine by inserting at least one transport blocking rod. Prior this
operation disconnect the appliance from the mains power!
• Rating plate with basic information is located above the opening of the machine.
• The warranty shall not apply to consumables (bulbs), minor discoloration or deviations of color,
increased noise level as a consequence of appliance age, which does not affect appliance functionality,
and aesthetical deficiencies which do not affect appliance functionality or safety.

 • If you have a tumble dryer of the same dimensions, you can
place it on top of the washing machine.

Water inlet coupling To ensure correct operation of the appliance, water

pressure inlet must be between 0,05 and 0,8 MPa.
Satisfactory water pressure level is 1,5 liter of water
output in 15 seconds with completely open faucet.

• Complete Aqua-stop
In case of damage on the interior pipe, leaking is prevented
by automatic closing system which stops water inlet to the
machine.
Security system also detects whether there is any water
leakage within the interior of the machine. In such cases
washing is suspended, machine switches on the pump and
signals error.

Do not immerse the Aqua-stop system inlet pipe into

the water, because it contains the electric valve!

Water outlet hose • Fix the outlet hose to run into the sink or the bathtub, or
connect it directly to the wall drain outlet (diameter min. 4 cm).
• Wall drain must be installed properly and must enable
occasional cleaning.
• Fasten the outlet hose support with a piece of rope led through
the hose elbow, to prevent the hose from slipping to the floor.
The end of outlet hose should be placed between minimum 60
cm and maximum 100 cm above the floor level.

Connection to the mains • Plug the mains power cable to the wall mains socket.
supply • Required voltage and other information are written on the
rating plate above the door opening of the machine.

Wall socket must be accessible at all times and must

be equipped with an earth lead (in accordance with the
local safety regulations).
Permanent mains connection must be fitted by the
141315

authorized personnel only.

6
 Damaged mains power cable may be replaced only by
the producer or his authorized personnel.
Never plug the appliance into the electric shaver socket
or hair dryer socket.
In case of parallel operation of drier and washer, both
appliances may neither be connected to the same wall
socket nor to two sockets connected to the same fuse.

If the socket the machine is connected to, is protected by

the overload protection switch (FID), the nominal differential
current of the switch must be 30 mA (switch mark Idn or
IΔn). In case of a smaller nominal current in the switch, the
machine may be switched off during its normal operation.

Tips for washing and energy saving

Several useful tips in regard to saving energy, energy consumption facts, and textile symbols may
be found on the display, if you select useful tips from the master menu.
• Before washing sort out the laundry according to the type, degree of dirtiness and color fastness.
• Prior selecting the washing program consult the sewn tab with information on a particular piece
of laundry (see Maintenance chart on the last page).
• Wash separately the new colored textile products for the first time.
• Wash heavily soiled laundry in small quantities and add more detergent.
• Treat stubborn stains with special stain remover, it will save energy.
• With lightly stained laundry select washing program without pre-wash, use short program and
select lower washing temperature. This way you may save up to 50% of energy.
• Avoid washing too little quantities of laundry because of energy saving and for better
performances of the appliance.
• The largest allowed quantity of dry laundry is indicated in the Consumption chart.
• Before washing empty the pockets, close zip fasteners, and remove any metal fasteners or
141315

badges that might clog the drain or damage the laundry or drum interior.

20
• Loosen the stacked laundry prior inserting it into the drum.
• Use only detergents for machine wash.
• Add powder or liquid detergents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• If water hardness level exceeds 14°dH degrees, the use of water conditioner is required. Any
damage to the heater due to failure to use a water conditioning agent shall not be covered by
this warranty.
• Chlorine-based whitening agents are not recommended, as it can damage the heater.

Hardness Degree of hardness

scale °dH(°N) m °fH(°F) p.p.m.
1 - Soft < 8,4 < 1,5 < 15 < 150
2 - Medium 8,4 - 14 1,5 - 2,5 15 - 25 150 - 250
3 - Hard > 14 > 2,5 > 25 > 250

In case of hard water add detergent according to the chart for

degree 1 and add appropriate quantity of water softener (see
manufacturer’s instructions).

• When using the washing program without the pre-wash, you

may add detergent directly into the drum.
• If you use thick liquid softener it is recommended to dilute
it with water, to prevent clogging of dispenser compartment
ducts.
• Washing machine is equipped with the dispenser partition
gate, so you may pour liquid detergent also into the central
compartment. If you use powder detergent the gate is lifted up,
and in case of liquid detergent it is slid down.
• Liquid detergents are intended for main wash only, without
pre-wash.
• In models with the delayed start option, add liquid detergent
directly into the drum in the supplied container.
• Insert particularly delicate linen (stockings, delicate female
underwear, etc.) into the special bag.
• High spin RPM leave less moisture in laundry which dries out
much quicker in the tumble dryer, thereby saving energy.

Do not put clods of detergent into the soap dispenser

as the tube in the washing machine may clog.

 Cleaning and maintenance
Strictly switch the appliance off prior cleaning (unplug
the power cord from the wall socket, or press the
ON/OFF key).

• Clean the display with soft, damp cotton cloth. Never use any
sharp objects for cleaning.
• Clean the casing and drum interior with soft cloth and mild
detergent.
• The interior of the drum and the door gasket is cleaned by
washing at 60°C without laundry and adding half quantity of
detergent.
• Frequent use of low-temperature programs in combination
with liquid detergents can lead to development of germs which
cause odor in the washing machine.
To prevent this, it is recommended to run the Cotton 95°C
program without any laundry at least once per month, using
powder detergent.
• If necessary, clean the detergent dispenser. Open the
detergent dispenser by pressing the knob (D).
Detergent dispenser may be completely pulled out of its casing
by pressing the side locks of the lever together and pull the
dispenser out.
To reinsert press the knob (D) to return the lever back. Insert
the dispenser and press it against the casing so that the lever
locks snap into place.

• If necessary, clean the cover of the bung under the running

water.
141315

22
• Wash it under running water using a brush, and dry it. Remove
any leftover dried detergent from the bottom of the casing.

• Clean the entire rinsing area of the washing machine with a

brush, especially the nozzles on the upper side of the rinsing
chamber.

• Clean frequently the water inlet hose screen under running

water.

• After each wash wipe the door rubber gasket. This will prolong
its useful life.

• Open the filter lid using flat screwdriver or similar tool.

• Filter needs occasional cleaning, especially following heavily

shaggy or old laundry. Before cleaning, drain any water from
the machine via drain pipe.

• Turn it anti-clockwise, pull it out and clean under running

water.
141315

23
 • Insert the filter back as shown on the picture (arrow and
pointer), and tighten by turning it in clockwise direction. To
ensure good sealing the gasket surface (A) must be dirt free.

Troubles
If the washing machine identifies failures in the operation, it reports it immediately. Sound alarm is
heard and the display reads ERROR. Number identifies the type of failure. In some cases you may
attempt removing certain failures yourself (see the chart below), and the machine will continue to
perform the operation after pressing the START knob. The machine signals failures immediately
after detecting them and stops the program, except for heater failure, where the machine
completes the washing program without heating water (failure 1).

Interferences from the ambient (for example electrical wiring) could induce signalization of different
faults. In such cases:
- switch the appliance off, and wait for a few seconds;
- switch the appliance back on and repeat the washing program.
If the fault repeats, call authorized service shop.

In case the machine signals faults number F4, F5 or F9 you have to wait for at least 2
minutes before you can open the door of the washing machine.

Warranty shall not apply in case of failures due to interferences from the environment (lightning
stroke, power supply circuit faults, natural disasters).
