Detergent and softener dispenser
1   Open the drawer.
2 Put powder detergent and the fabric

softener in the compartments as shown.

3 Close the detergent and softener drawer.

Powders and liquids

The performance of the washing machine

depends on the effectiveness of the detergent.
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.

Unloading

The machine stops automatically after

programmes are completed.
1 In about 2 min, the door will unlock. Open

the door.

2 Press the On/Off button to switch off the

machine.

3 Unload the machine and leave the front door

open. Check  to see if there is any water left
in the door gasket. If so, remove with a soft

Pump filter warning

When the appliance is in use and depending

on the programme selected there can be hot
water in the filter. Never remove the filter
during a wash cycle, always wait until the
appliance has finished the cycle, and is empty.
When replacing the filter, ensure it is securely
retightened so as to stop leaks and young
children being able to remove it.

Hoses

To prevent any leakage, check the hoses

every two years. If the machine is placed in
cold ambient temperatures, the water
remaining inside the pump and hoses should
be drained to prevent freezing, empty the
water intake hoses by disconnecting from taps.

Drum

Do not leave any metal objects (pins, needles,

etc.) inside the drum. These objects may cause
rust on the drum surface and stain clothing.
Do not clean the drum with abrasive materials.

Rinse

Prewash
A pre-wash is only worth while with heavily
soiled laundry. Without prewash you save
energy, water,  washing powder and time.

Time Save

Shortens  washing  time  for  lightly  soiled

fabrics. This function can be used for all cotton
and synthetic programs.

Extra rinse

Using  this  function, you  can have  4  rinse

cycles instead of 3.  The additional  rinse will
extract  more  detergent  for  sensitive  skin.

13

You  can locate the washing machine

anywhere (except bathrooms, showers and
away from rain, damp places and water) as
long as you have 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.

Different methods of floor construction can

result in an increase in vibration/noise during
spin modes.

If these symptoms are experienced please

ensure firstly that all four feet are in firm contact
with the floor to minimise any out of balance
vibration which may be generated.

Additional information is available by

request.

In addition to this, washing machines should

not be installed on carpet, foam backed
laminate, or parquet flooring where the nature
of these types of flooring can also contribute
to the inefficient operation of the washing
machine on the spin cycle.

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.

Water inlet connection

Your machine comes with cold water

connection only.

Connect the cold water using the hose with

blue printing or colour.

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.)

To prevent water leaks,

sealing washers are
supplied with the water inlet hose inside the
machine. Place these on the hose end and
tighten both ends fully.

In order to prevent any water leakage and

damage, turn off the water tap when not in
use. Connect the right angled end of the hose
to the machine water inlet.

The washing machine must only be

connected with the new hose provided and
old hoses must not be reused.

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.

min.

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
If the fitted moulded plug is not suitable for

your socket, then the plug should be cut off
and an appropriate plug fitted.

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.

In order to avoid hazards, damaged supply

cord should be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified people.

Important

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

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.

Detergent dispenser

It is necessary to remove the detergent

dispenser drawer from time to time to clean
away residue and ensure correct operation.

To remove

Pull out the drawer and press down on the

coloured insert to release it fully from its
housing. Wash the drawer in warm water to
remove detergent and softener residue and
before replacing wipe it dry.

The syphon (coloured insert in the dispenser)

must be cleaned. Remove the dispenser drawer
and lift out the syphon and wash in warm
water to remove any softener residue. Refit
ensuring that the syphon is correctly fitted
before use.

Maintenance wash

If you regularly use low temperature

programs, for example 40˚C, certain detergents
cause build up of greasy deposits over time.
We recommend a hot maintenance wash once
every 6 months to clear such accumulation of
residue.

Simply run the wash programme “Cotton

90” without laundry using the usual amount
of detergent.

Water intake filter

At the end of the water intake connection

and water inlet hose-tap side there are filters.
 These filters prevent any dirt and objects
passing into the machine. It is advisable that
these filters should be cleaned every 30-40
washes. To clean these filters, first turn the tap
off. Then, disconnect the hose and clean the
filter with a thin brush. If the filter is very dirty,
you may clean it by pulling out with pliers. To
clean the filter at the tap side of the hose, pull
it out by hand and clean the filter under tap
water. Ensure that the sealing rings are in place
before reassembly.

You turned the machine on, but the indicator
