To start the programme, press the On/Off

button. The indicator will light and the closed
door will be locked in a few seconds.

The

programmer knob will rotate and advance
to the correct point to commence washing.
This is a normal function of the
programmer.

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.

Unloading

The machine stops automatically after

programmes are completed.

Press the On/Off knob to turn off your
machine.

2 The door can be opened by gently

pulling the door open handle 1-2
minutes after the washing cycle is
completed. Turn off the taps.

Unload the machine, and leave the door
open to air the interior.

Removing transport safety bolts

The transport safety bolts must be removed

before any operation of the machine.

Turn the bolt heads

anti-clockwise until

the bolt can be partially withdrawn.

Remove them and the rubber bushes by
pulling outwards. An up/down action and
a small squirt of washing up liquid will ease
removal.

Plastic plugs, supplied inside the protective
bag, designated

, 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.

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 residue and before replacing
wipe out the housing.

Syphon

The syphon (coloured insert in the dispenser)

must be cleaned every 30-40 washes. 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, 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 “2”

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.

location

installation

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.

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).

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.

electrical connection

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.

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.

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:

Connect the green - yellow or green (earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug marked ‘E’
or with the symbol

or coloured green

and yellow or green.

Connect the blue (neutral) wire to the

terminal in the plug marked ‘N’ or coloured
black.

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.

care and maintenance

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.

Cleaning the pump filter

Warning

When the appliance is in use and depending

To prevent objects entering the pump and

causing damage, your machine employs a filter
system that extends the pump life. It is advisable
to clean the filter every 30-40 washes. Before
opening the filter door, disconnect the power.
Turn the opening of kick plate screws 90° with
the help of a screw driver or a coin. Place a
little pan in front of the filter door to catch the
small amount of water spilling from the
machine. Remove the filter by turning in an
anti clockwise direction. After cleaning the
filter, replace it by turning clockwise making
sure that it is closed firmly. Replace the kick
plate and secure it by the locking screws.

Attention!

Ensure the machine is empty of water

before removing the filter. If the filter has
not been replaced correctly water will leak
out from the filter.

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.

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
