Preparation

Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.
• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwired bras, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a cotton laundry bag or cotton pillow case. Moreover, such clothes may warm up excessively during drying and get damaged. For this reason, do not dry such laundry in the machine.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a cotton laundry bag or cotton pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items. Do not dry tulle curtains in the machine.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.

NOTE

• Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.

Things to be done for energy saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy-efficient manner.

• Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload. See, “Programme and consumption table”.
• Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.
• Do not use detergent in excess of the amount recommended on the detergent package.

First use

Before starting to use the product, make sure that all preparations are completed in accordance with the instructions in sections "Important safety and environment instructions" and "Installation".

To prepare the product for washing laundry, perform first operation in Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with this programme, apply the method described in 6.2.

NOTE

• Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.
• Some water might have remained in the product due to the quality control processes in the production. It is not harmful for the product.

Correct load capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired. The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water according to the weight of the loaded laundry.

DANGER: Follow the information in the “Programme and consumption table”. When overloaded, machine's washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur. For a good drying performance, do not dry laundry more than the amounts specified.

Loading the laundry

1. Open the loading door.
2. Place laundry items loosely into the machine.
3. Push the loading door to close until you hear a locking sound. Ensure that no items are caught in the door.

NOTE: The loading door is locked while a programme is running. The door can only be opened a while after the programme comes to an end. The loading door will not open until the temperature drops if the inside of the machine is very hot at the end of the programme.

CAUTION: In case of misplacing the laundry, noise and vibration problems may occur in the machine.

Using detergent and softener

NOTE: When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach or limescale remover read the manufacturer's instructions on the package carefully and follow the suggested dosage values. Use measuring cup if available.

Detergent drawer

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• Never leave the detergent drawer open while the washing programme is running!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2").
• Do not add any washing chemicals (liquid detergent, softener, etc.) when the machine is in drying step.

Choosing the detergent type

The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woollens with special detergent made specifically for woollens.

CAUTION: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines

Adjusting detergent amount

The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

Using softeners

Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Using liquid detergents

If the product has a liquid detergent cup

• Place the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. "2".
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product does not have a liquid detergent cup

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly into the drum before washing.

NOTE

• Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.
• Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the fabric dye into the softener compartment.
• Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using bleaches

• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent through an empty compartment of the detergent drawer as soon as the first rinsing step appears on the display, and add 1 glass of water in the same compartment.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen based bleaches, select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.
• Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. "2" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water.

Using limescale remover

• When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.

Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

1. Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. After performing the cleaning procedures explained below, replace the siphon back to its seating and push its front section downwards to be sure that the locking tab engages.
   NOTE: If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, clean the siphon.
2. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
3. After cleaning, seat the siphon well in its place and insert the drawer back.

Cleaning the loading door and the drum

Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in the machine. Before starting the programme, put half a cup (max. 100 g) of a suitable anti-limescale powder into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. "2"). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.

NOTE: Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months. Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing check that no foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

NOTE: Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.

CAUTION: Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the air suction filter

To clean the air suction filter: Unplug the machine.

1. Attach the rear of the tool supplied in the Operation Manual bag to the place on the filter cap illustrated in Fig. 1.
2. Pull the filter cap towards yourself with the help of a finger after pulling the latch leftwise with the back side of the appartus as illustrated in Fig. 2.
3. Filter cap will come out easily.
4. Wash the filter cap. 5 Replace the filter cap and make sure that it seats well. If not seated twist the latch to the right with the help of the apparatus.

CAUTION

• Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.
• After every 50 washing and drying operation (approx. 3 months), clean the air suction filter of the machine.
• If the machine is operated only for drying for 10 times in a row, always perform an empty washing afterwards by using 1 short programme.

Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be cleaned as they do get dirty.

1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.
If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.
In addition, prior to transporting the machine (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely

CAUTION

• Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage the machine or may cause noise problem.
• If the product is not in use, turn the tap off, detach the supply hose and drain the water inside the machine against any freezing possibility in the region of installation.
• After each use close the supply hose tap of the product.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
   CAUTION: Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, cleaned the filter after the water in the machine cools down.
2. Open the filter cap. Press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.
   

To discharge the water:

1. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
2. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.
3. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
4. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
