Title: Washing Machine and Dishwasher
Post by: 1jools on July 16, 2008, 13:36:36 PM
I wonder if anyone has any ENGLISH instructions for the following machines (or maybe you know where I can get them from).

Washing Machine ALTUS AL281
Dishwasher ALTUS AL414

I've tried the website, but can't seem to find anything.  Thanks in desperate anticipation!

If it wasn't for the fact that you bring me creme eggs I would have to severely punish you for typing all your subject/topic heading in CAPITALS! Please don't.

OMG I am so sorry, I was in work mode I'm afraid - and is that a hint for my next visit in 7 weeks time (or maybe Peanut Butter Kit Kats?).

Apologies once again!

Try www.beko.co.uk Many of the Altus brand are identical to Beko so it may be trial and error to find the one you want. :)

Somebody on here (sorry can't remember who) got some instructions from Beko a couple of years ago. They kindly offered to forward them to interested members, one of who was me. Trouble is I now only have printed copy. A search could possibly locate the source. I'll try later myself but now I am going to Bamboo to see who is there  8) 8)

Hi,
 
I don't know if this will be much help, or if this is the same model we have, but this is what I have managed to work out from the dictionary/trial and error.

The machine is not of the same quality that we are used to in the UK.  It cannot cope with weight and will go for a walk across the floor if overloaded.  To get the best results keep the loads small and wash more frequently, separating lights and darks.
 
Eko 40 is a good general wash programme but takes a long time and seems hotter in our machine.

Eide Yiakam is 30 degrees and a shorter wash - recommended
Washing machine words:
Kapak - door
Yikama - wash
Bitti - finished
Basla- start
Bekle - pause
Llave - extra
Durulama - rinse
Elde yikama - hand wash   
Suda Birakma- soak
Iptal/3sn - cancel
Acma - open
Kapatma - close
Sentenik - Delicates
Pamuklu - cotton
Marin - gentle
Yuntu - wool
Eko- economy

I hope this is of some use.
I don't have a dishwasher, so can't help there!

Best wishes

Hurrah!  Thank you so much to everyone for their assistance - I am now the proud owner of instructions for both the washing machine and dishwasher.  If anyone would like copies, please email me and I'll happily forward them on.

Once again, thanks for all your help.
