Spin speed location You can locate the washing machine anywhere (except bathrooms, showers and away from rain, damp places and water) as long as you have hot and cold water supply, drainage and electrical connection alongside. Ensure there is clearance each side of the machine to allow slight side ways movement during washing and spin drying. Attention! Never place your machine on a carpet. This prevents air circulation. The electrical components of the machine may overheat and may cause damage. Please ensure the power, water supplies and waste are suitable, if in doubt, consult a qualified plumber or electrician. installation C C P Removing transport safety bolts The transport safety bolts must be removed before any operation of the machine. 1 Turn the bolt heads C anti-clockwise until the bolt can be partially withdrawn. 2 Remove them and the rubber bushes by pulling outwards. An up/down action and a small squirt of washing up liquid will ease removal. 3 Plastic plugs, supplied inside the protective bag, designated P, should be placed in the safety bolt holes as shown. Attention! Keep the safety bolts for future transportation and reinstate them before transporting your machine. Never transport your machine without the transport bolts in position. Any resultant damage is not covered by the warranty. Feet adjustment To ensure quiet and stable operation, the machine should be positioned correctly and on the level. If the machine is unstable, adjust one of the front feet by loosening the plastic lock nut and screwing or unscrewing the foot until the machine is level. After positioning, tighten the lock nut. 5 5 Water inlet connections Your machine comes with both cold and hot water connections. Connect the cold water using the hose with blue printing and connect the hot water using the hose with red printing. If you have only a cold water feed a Y adaptor will be required (available from most D.I.Y. stores). HOT COLD Y adaptor Cold water supply For proper operation, the pressure of cold water should be between 1 and 10 bars. (1 bar corresponds to more than 8 litres per minute flow rate with a fully open tap.) Hot water supply Pressure: 1-10 bar Temperature: 60°C max. A hot water supply fed from a separate cold water tank will normally be suitable. Open outlet gas or electric water heaters must not be used. Multipoint water heaters or combination boilers may be suitable if they are designed to supply washing machines. (Check your boilers operation instructions or supplier.) If the hot water supply is unsuitable, connect both hoses to the cold water supply using a Y connection. The only disadvantage of this is the machine will use more electricity to heat the water and take longer to wash on some programs. To prevent water leaks, four sealing washers are supplied with the water inlet hoses inside the machine. Place these on each of the hose ends and tighten both ends fully. In order to prevent any water leakage and damage, turn off the water taps when not in use. Connect the cornered end of the hose to the machine water inlet. A B C Drain hose The drain hose should be placed and secured either at the side of the sink A, directly to the drain B or directly to the waste water inlet C. · The hose should not be bent. · Using method A, the drain hose should be secured with the elbow so that it can not be dislodged. · The waste pipe must only be connected into the foul drains and not surface water drainage system. · The hose should be placed between 20 and 80cm from the floor level and must not be extended otherwise the machine may not empty the waste water. · The minimum diameter of any external pipe must be 32 mm. 6 electrical connection Make sure that you have an earthed power outlet socket rated at 13 amps (minimum). Attention! If you use your machine as built-in, the socket must be reachable after installation, or a separate switch (which can disconnect the two poles) must be used in the installation. Connect the power cord to the appropriate electrical socket with an equivalent current rating indicated on the rating plate at the front of the machine behind the kick plate. After removing the plug from its transit position, please insert the plug seal to prevent water spillage entering the machine. Fitting a different plug As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals on your plug, proceed as follows: 1 Connect the green - yellow or green (earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked `E' or with the symbol f or coloured green and yellow or green. 2 Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked `N' or coloured black. 3 Connect the brown (live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked `L' or coloured red. With the alternative plugs a 13A fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or in the main fuse box. If in doubt contact a qualified electrician. Green and yellow or green Important Electrical requirements Before you insert the plug into the wall socket make sure that the voltage and the frequency shown in the rating label corresponds to your electricity supply. We recommend that this appliance be connected to the mains supply via a suitable switched and fused socket in a readily accessible position. Should the mains lead of the appliance become damaged or need replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special purpose made mains lead which can only be obtained from a Beko Authorised Service Agent. Warning This appliance must be earthed f If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for your socket, then the plug should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted. Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted. Colour of the replacement fuse cover must be the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from any good electrical store.

Stains can remain if low quality detergents are used. · Only use powders specific for automatic washers, otherwise over foaming and poor washing performance will be experienced. · Do not use liquid detergent in your detergent drawer. Only use liquid detergents with a dosing ball. · Do not attempt to use detergents and bleaching agents that contain chlorine and sulphur. · Concentrated softener may clog the syphon, in this case add some water to the softener liquid. Programme operation During the machine's operation, the programme selection knob turns clockwise and follows the programme steps. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and A programmes end on the line after A. 6, 7, 8, 9 and B programmes, if rinse hold button is not pressed, end on the line after B. 10, 11,12 and C programmes, if rinse hold button is not pressed, end on the line after C. If fabric softener is added in the softener compartment, it will be used in the last rinse cycle. If rinse hold is selected, by re-pressing this button, you can continue the program. If no spin is desired, you should leave the rinse hold button pressed in. Turn off the machine, select the letter D on the programme selection knob and turn on the machine. During this operation, water in the machine will be discharged. Amounts Follow the manufacturer's recommended amount of detergent given on the packaging. Adjust the amount according to the dirt level, the amount of fabric and the softness of the water. For example, if a small amount of clothing is washed, put in half the amount of detergent normally required. · Do not fill the fabric softener above the max mark as any excess amount will mix into the wash water and you will have to re-fill the compartment.
