3. After connecting open the valve to flush any contaminants (dirt, dust, sand)
from the tube that may have gotten inside during installation. Collect the
water in a bucket or basin.
4. Screw the ring nut of the tube onto the washing machine inlet, then tighten it
the same way as on the water supply valve.
NOTE: Every time you open the water supply valve after connecting it to the
machine, do it slowly to prevent surge (hydraulic shock) and damage to the
internal component of the machine.
Close the water supply valve every time after using the machine to prevent leaks
and spillage.
ATTENTION
Do not try to extend the water supply tube yourselves! If the water supply tap is
located too far away from the machine, buy a longer tube.
NOTE: The washing machine can be connected to water supply via an ordinary
domestic tap. In this case all the same requirements should be observed,
besides, to avoid spillage, please ensure that the connection between the tap
and the hose is tight and secure and the tube will not come off the tap. However,
this connection method is not recommended and can only be applied if a fixed
connection to water supply is not possible.
DRAIN HOSE CONNECTION
ATTENTION
Connection of the appliance to the drain should only be performed by a skilled
technician.
1. One end of the hose is fixed to the appliance. Do not pull it out or force it in.
2. The other (free) end of the hose can be routed into a bathtub, sink, or connected
to the drain (sewage) piping.
3. If the free end of the hose is routed into a bathtub or sink, it should be firmly
secured (e.g. with a special bathtub clamp). A loose hose can easily fall off
because of the water pressure and cause spillage.
4. When connecting the hose to the drain pipe, make sure it is not inserted too
deep so as not to obstruct the sewage flow. If the hose is too long – cut it
down to size.
5. In any case please avoid the siphon effect when connecting the machine to the
drain; otherwise the water will not stop running. For this purpose a part of the
hose should always be raised at least 60 cm above the floor.
Besides, the free end of the drain hose should not be submerged in water
(therefore please avoid connecting the hose to the sewage pipes with a
constant water flow).
draining
NOTE: If the free end of the hose is routed into a sink, use a special holding clamp
(bracket) as in the case with a bathtub; secure the clamp with a chain or rope.
CONNECTING TO POWER SUPPLY
1. The washing machine should be connected to a properly installed grounded
electric socket protected by an automatic circuit breaker of 16A rating.
For added safety it is recommended to connect the washing machine to a
dedicated lead (socket) assigned in the switchboard and used exclusively to
connect the washing machine, protected by a dedicated differential current
circuit breaker or a combined automatic circuit breaker and ground fault
circuit breaker (GFCI).
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any damage if the machine is
connected to a power supply circuit without a functioning earthing connection
installed in accordance with local regulations.
2. The electric circuit to which the machine is connected should be located in
a easily visible and accessible place, within 1 m to the left or right of the
appliance. Please prevent situations when the power cable can be jammed,
tugged at or trampled upon.
3. Never use extension cables or cluster type power sockets to connect the
appliance. This is critical to avoid loose contacts or contacts with insufficient
area and thus to prevent fires. Never connect the appliance via an external
timer.
4. If the power cable is damaged it shall only be repaired by a properly qualified
technician at a service center.
5. OPERATING THE WASHING MACHINE
ATTENTION
Before doing your laundry ensure that the washing machine is installed properly
in accordance with our instructions.
The appliance has undergone quality acceptance tests at the factory, therefore it
may contain water and show minor traces of test operation.
ATTENTION
In order to eliminate any foreign smells and clean the washing machine before
first use, we recommend running the “Hypoallergenic Wash” at 85 °С without
clothes and detergents.
Do not worry if the smell has not gone completely. There may be the smell
emitted by plastic and rubber components that have become very hot during
operation.
In this case either run another washing cycle without clothes at a high
temperature, or wait for the smell to disappear after the first two or three
washing cycles.
BEFORE WASHING
MAX MAX
1. Connect the machine to power supply.
2. Open the valve to which the water supply tube is connected.
3. Load the clothes into the machine.
4. Firmly close the door.
5. Add the detergent.
