This document provides instructions for use of a washing machine, designed for modern laundry treatment with rational consumption of energy, water, and washing agents. The appliance is intended exclusively for household use.
Function Description
The washing machine offers a variety of programs and additional functions to cater to different laundry needs. Basic programs include:
- Cotton: whites/colored: For normally stained cotton and flax items like bed linen, underwear, tablecloths, and towels. It includes options for heavy duty and pre-wash for heavily stained items. A 17-minute quick program is available for smaller, less soiled loads, saving energy and time. The Cotton 15° program is for lightly soiled laundry with detergents designed for low temperatures, saving power by only engaging the water heater if inlet temperature is below 15°C.
- Synthetics: For normally stained polyester, polyamide garments, or cotton blends. Pre-wash is available for heavily stained items.
- Delicate: For delicate fabrics such as dresses, skirts, blouses, and curtains.
- Wool: A gentle program for machine-washable wool and wool-blend garments.
- Manual wash: A very gentle program with a short spin (max. 400 RPM), suitable for flax, silk, wool, or viscose marked for manual wash.
- Mix: A special program for normally stained colored laundry made from various resistant fabrics at 30°C.
Partial programs include:
- Conditioning: For softening, starching, or impregnating clean clothes. It can also be used as an independent or additional rinse program without fabric softener.
- Pumping the water out: Used to drain water from the drum if a program was interrupted or the "pump stop" function was engaged.
- Spinning: Aggressive spinning for non-delicate laundry at high RPM.
Additional functions modify the basic washing cycle:
- Delayed start: Allows setting a delay for the program start up to 23 hours.
- Spinning speed (rpm) / Pump stop: Decreases the spinning speed or engages "pump stop" to leave laundry soaked in the last rinsing water, preventing creasing. This is suitable for synthetics and delicate laundry but not recommended for wool or manual wash.
- Quick program: An energy-saving program for lightly soiled laundry or smaller loads, reducing washing, rinsing time, and water consumption.
- Cold wash: (Available on some models) For lightly soiled or color-sensitive laundry, turning off heaters and shortening the program.
- Higher water level: Improves rinsing, especially for sensitive skin or heavily soiled laundry.
- Auto-clean program (SterilTub): Eliminates impurities, bacteria, and odor from the washing machine drum. It is recommended to run this program monthly, especially if low-temperature washes are frequent.

Usage Features
- Installation: Remove transport brackets before first use. Install on a solid, flat concrete floor in a room with a temperature above 0°C. Level the appliance using adjustable legs and tighten the nuts firmly.
- Water Inlet: Use new water inlet hoses and sealing gaskets. Ensure water pressure is between 0.05 and 0.8 MPa. Connect hot and cold water hoses to marked faucets (C - cold; H - hot). Tighten hoses manually to prevent leaks.
- Aqua-stop System: Partial Aqua-stop prevents leaks by automatically closing water inlet if the interior pipe is damaged. Complete Aqua-stop (certain models) also detects internal water leakage, suspending washing and signaling an error. Do not immerse the Aqua-stop inlet pipe in water.
- Water Outlet: Fix the outlet hose into a sink, bathtub, or wall drain (min. 4 cm diameter). The hose end should be between 60 cm and 100 cm above floor level.
- Mains Supply: Plug the power cable into an accessible wall socket with an earth lead.
- Loading Laundry: Sort laundry by fabric type. Close buttons and zippers, tie strings, and empty pockets. Place very delicate laundry in a protective sack. Load items of different sizes. Check garment labels for recommended washing modes.
- Detergent Dispenser: Add washing and treatment agents to the pre-wash, main wash, and softener compartments. For programs without pre-wash, detergent can be added directly to the drum using a measuring vessel. Fill softener only up to the marked level.
- Operation: Turn the program selector knob to "0" to switch off. Turn to the desired program. Select additional functions before pressing START. The display shows washing time and "END" at completion.
- Child Lock: Activates by simultaneously pressing the spinning speed (C) and short program (D) buttons for three seconds.
- Sound Signal: Adjust sound signal loudness by pressing button (D) and rotating the program selector knob (A).
Maintenance Features
- Cleaning the Casing: Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent.
- Cleaning the Drum and Door Gasket: Run a 60°C wash without laundry, adding half the quantity of detergent.
- Odor Prevention: Run the auto-clean (SterilTub) program occasionally to prevent bacteria and odor, especially if low-temperature washes are frequent.
- Detergent Dispenser: Pull out the dispenser by pressing the flap, clean it under running water with a brush, and dry it. Clean the rinsing area and nozzles.
- Water Inlet Hose Screen: Clean frequently under running water.
- Door Rubber Gasket: Wipe after each wash to prolong its life.
- Filter: Open the filter lid using a flat screwdriver. Drain any water via the drain pipe. Turn the filter anti-clockwise, pull it out, and clean under running water. Reinsert and tighten clockwise, ensuring the gasket surface is dirt-free.
