4.1.4 Connecting water supply

	The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is higher.
	If you are going to use the double water-inlet product as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the supplied stopper to the hot water valve before operating the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a blind stopper group.)
	CAUTION:Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.
	CAUTION:Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

Connect the special water supply hoses supplied with the product to the water inlets on the product. The red hose (left) (max. 90 °C) is for hot water inlet, the blue hose (right) (max. 25 °C) is for cold water inlet.

Ensure the hot and cold water taps are connected correctly; otherwise, your laundry will come out hot at the end of the washing process.

1. Tighten the hose nuts by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts. 2. When the hose connection is completed, check for leaks at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. To prevent water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.

4.1.5 Connecting the drain hose to the drain

Attach the end of the drain hose directly to the waste water drain, lavatory, or bathtub.

CAUTION: Your drain hose will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is a risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! To prevent such situations and ensure that the machine performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.

• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100 cm.
• If the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level 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 waste water from going back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for 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 length of the hose is too short, use it by adding an original extension hose. The length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp so as not to come off and leak.

4.1.6 Adjusting the feet

CAUTION: 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.

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.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!
• 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 container into the main wash compartment (compartment number "2").

Choosing the detergent type

Detergent type to be used depends on the fabric type and color.

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

CAUTION: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

CAUTION: 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 sign on 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:

• Put the liquid detergent container into the compartment no "2".
• If the liquid detergent lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it into the detergent container.

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

- 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.

Using starch

- Put the liquid soda, powder soda 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 limescale remover

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

Using bleaches

Add the bleach at the beginning of the washing cycle by selecting a prewash program. 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 mix bleaching agent and detergent.

- 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 bleach onto the laundry and do not use it with colored items.

- When using oxygen-based decolorant, select a program which washes the laundry at a low temperature.

- Oxygen-based decolorant can be used with the detergent; however, if it is not at the same consistence, first put detergent in the compartment number “2” in the detergent dispenser and wait for the machine to flush the detergent when taking in water. While the machine continues taking in water, add decolorant in the same compartment.

4.4 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of product extends and frequently experienced problems will be reduced if it is cleaned at regular intervals.

4.4.1 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.

Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated.

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

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine. 2. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. To prevent the residues from contacting your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush while wearing a pair of gloves. 3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

4.4.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum

For products with a 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 obtained 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 anti-limescale 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.

Repeat the Drum Cleaning process every 2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for washing machines.

After every wash, make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure are blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface using cleaning agents for stainless steel.

Never use steel wool or wire wool. These will damage the painted, chromated, and plastic surfaces.

4.4.3 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.

4.4.4 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 from entering 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, remove them from their places with pliers and clean them in this way.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean them thoroughly under running water.
4. Replace the seals and filters carefully and tighten their nuts by hand.

4.4.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins, and fabric fibers from 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. The filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or 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 your machine or may cause noise problems.

CAUTION: If the product is not being used, shut the tap, remove the mains pipe, and drain the water inside the machine against any likely freezing.

CAUTION: After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.

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 °C. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down.

1. 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.
