Usage Features

Installation: The appliance requires a firm, level floor for installation, with minimum clearances of 20 mm at the sides and 100 mm behind for hoses and airflow. It comes with transit bolts that must be removed before operation and levelling feet for stability. Anti-slip sheets are provided for slippery surfaces. Water supply hoses are connected to the water tap and the appliance, ensuring proper sealing. The drain hose should be secured and not placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.

Operation Overview: Before the first wash, a Cotton wash program with half detergent should be run without clothes to remove manufacturing residues. Clothes should be sorted by fabric type, soil level, and color. Detergent and softener are added to a dispenser drawer with specific compartments for main wash, pre-wash, and liquid fabric softener. The control panel features a Power On/Off button, a Programme Knob for cycle selection, a Start/Pause button, and various extra options and functions.
