Installation

3.5 Connecting to the drain

- The end of the drain hose must be directly connected to the wastewater drain or to the washbasin.

WARNING: Your house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure smooth water intake and discharge of the machine, fix the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a height of at least 40 cm, and 100 cm at most.
• If the hose is elevated after being laid on the floor or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.

• To prevent dirty water from flowing back into the machine and to allow for easy discharge, do not immerse the hose end into the dirty water or insert it into the drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, stepped on, or pinched between the drain and the machine.
• If the hose is too short, use an original extension hose. The total length of the hose must not exceed 3.2 m. To avoid water leaks, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp to prevent it from coming off and leaking.

3.6 Adjusting the feet

WARNING: To ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

Installation

4.2 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 laundry bag or pillowcase.
• 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 problems.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillowcase.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons, and mend rips and tears.
• Wash only products labeled "machine washable" or "hand washable" with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If unsure, check with a dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/colour changers and limescale removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.
• Laundry that is 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.

4.7 Using detergent and softener

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 a measuring cup if available.

Detergent Drawer

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

• (1) for prewash
• (2) for main wash
• (3) for softener
• (*) In addition, there is a siphon piece in the softener compartment.

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").

Preparation

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 woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.

WARNING: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

WARNING: Do not use soap powder.

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 contains a liquid detergent cup:

- Make sure that you have placed 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 contain 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

Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and similar detergents.

• 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.

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.

Preparation

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 while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.

- 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.

Operating the product

5.4 Main programmes

Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.

- Cottons

Use this programme for your cotton laundry (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

Use this programme 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.

Operating the product

5.10 Auxiliary function selection

Select the desired auxiliary functions before starting the programme. Furthermore, you may also select or cancel auxiliary functions that are suitable to the running programme without pressing the Start / Pause button when the machine is operating. For this, the machine must be in a step before the auxiliary function you are going to select or cancel.

If the auxiliary function cannot be selected or canceled, light of the relevant auxiliary function will blink 3 times to warn the user.

Some functions cannot be selected together. If a second auxiliary function conflicting with the first one is selected before starting the machine, the function selected first will be canceled and the second auxiliary function selection will remain active. For example, if you want to select Quick Wash after you have selected the Prewash, Prewash will be canceled and Quick Wash will remain active.

An auxiliary function that is not compatible with the programme cannot be selected. (See “Programme and consumption table”)

Auxiliary function buttons may vary according to the model of the machine.

A Prewash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled laundry. Not using the Prewash will save energy, water, detergent and time.

Prewash without detergent is recommended for tulle and curtains.

This function can be used in Cottons and Synthetics programmes. It decreases the washing times and also the number of rinsing steps for lightly soiled laundry.

When you select this function, load your machine with half of the maximum laundry specified in the programme table.

- Rinse Plus

This function enables the machine to make another rinsing in addition to the one already made after the main wash. Thus, the risk for sensitive skins (babies, allergic skins, etc.) to be effected by the minimal detergent remnants on the laundry can be reduced.

- Anti-Creasing

This function creases the clothes lesser when they are being washed. Drum movement is reduced and spinning speed is limited to prevent creasing. In addition, washing is done with a higher water level.

- Rinse Hold

If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after the programme completes, you may use rinse hold function to keep your laundry in the final rinsing water in order to prevent them from getting wrinkled when there is no water in the machine. Press Start / Pause button after this process if you want to drain the water without spinning your laundry. Programme will resume and complete after draining the water.

If you want to spin the laundry held in water, adjust the Spin Speed and press Start / Pause button. The programme resumes. Water is drained, laundry is spun and the programme is completed.

This function helps to remove pet hair that remain on your garments more effectively.

When you select this function, Prewash and Extra Rinse steps are added to the normal programme. Thus, washing is performed with more water (30%) and the pet hair is removed more effectively.

WARNING: Never wash your pets in the washing machine.

7 Maintenance and cleaning

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

7.1 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. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

1. 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 the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
2. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well. If your detergent drawer is the one indicated in the following figure:

Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. After performing the above mentioned cleaning procedures, replace the siphon back to its seating and push its front section downwards to make sure that the locking tab engages.

7.2 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 max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale 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.
