Programmes
• Cottons
Use this programme for your durable whites and colourfast cotton clothes. This programme is suggested for washing heavily soiled items.
• Synthetics
Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action and has a shorter washing cycle compared to the Cottons programme.
For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic 40˚C programme with prewash and anti-creasing functions selected. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little amount of detergent into the main wash compartment. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment.
• Wool
Use to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens.
• Cottons Eco
Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), programme time may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease more, providing a more economic wash. This programme is available in the models with the remaining time indicator.
• Anti-Allergy+
Use this programme for your laundry for which you require an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and long washing cycle.

Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of product extends and frequently experienced problems will be reduced if it is 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. Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned. |
- Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
- Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. In order to prevent the residues to contact your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush by wearing a pair of gloves.
- Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.
Cleaning the loading door and the drum
For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product - Programmes.
For products without drum cleaning, follow the below steps to clean the drum:
Select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions. Use a Cottons programme without pre-wash.
Set the temperature to the level recommended on the drum cleaning agent which can be provided from authorized services. Apply this procedure without any laundry in the product. Before starting the programme, put 1 pouch of special drum cleaning agent (if the special agent could not be supplied, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale) into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment no. „2“). If the antilimescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into the main wash compartment no. „2“. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.
 | After every washing make sure 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. 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. These will damage the painted, chromated and plastic surfaces. |
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.

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.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
2. Open the filter cover.
3. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
If the product has an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water:
 | a Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat b 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. c When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place. d Turn and remove the pump filter. |
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Replace the filter.
6. If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
