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 a 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 at most 100 cm.
• In case the 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 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 do not drive 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, it should not be stepped on, and the hose must not be 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 as not to come off and leak.

3.6 Adjusting the feet

WARNING: In order 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.

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 “machine washable” or “hand washable” labeled 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.
• 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 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.

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 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 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 the 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 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 as the detergent, put the detergent first into compartment "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

2. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection button.

Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric.

When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

Always select the lowest required temperature. Higher temperature means higher power consumption.

For further programme details, see "Programme and consumption table".

5.5 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.

- Woollens

Use this programme to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens.

5.6 Additional programmes

For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.

Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

• Cotton Economic

You may wash your normally soiled durable cotton and linen laundry in this programme with the highest energy and water saving compared to all other wash programmes suitable for cottons. Actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature. Programme duration may automatically be shortened during later stages of the programme if you wash less amount (e.g. 1/2 capacity or less) of laundry. In this case energy and water consumption will be further decreased giving you the opportunity for a more economical wash. This feature is available for certain models having remaining time display.

- BabyProtect

Use this programme to wash baby laundry, and the laundry that belongs to allergic persons. Longer heating time and an additional rinsing step provide a higher level of hygiene.

Use this programme to wash your woolen/delicate clothes that bear “not machine-washable” tags and for which hand wash is recommended. It washes laundry with a very gentle washing action to not damage clothes.

Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

- Xpress Super Short

Use this programme to wash your little amount of lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

- Darkcare

Use this programme to wash your dark coloured laundry, or the coloured laundry that you do not want them to get faded. Washing is performed with less mechanical movements at low temperature. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or wool shampoo for dark coloured laundry.

- Mix 40

Use this programme to wash your cotton and synthetic clothes together without sorting them.

Operating the product

- Shirts

Use this programme to wash the shirts made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics together.

- Freshen up

Use this programme to remove the odour on the laundry that are worn only for once and do not contain any stains or dirt.

- Eco Clean

Use this programme, which is much more sensitive to environment and natural resources, to wash your lightly soiled and unstained cotton laundry (max. 3.5 kg) in a short time and economically.

It is recommended to use liquid detergent or gel washing detergent.

- Self Clean

Use this programme regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene. Run the programme without any laundry in the machine. To obtain better results, put powder limescale remover for washing machines into the detergent compartment II. When the programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry.

This is not a washing programme. It is a maintenance programme.

Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that there is a load inside and aborts the programme.

5.7 Special programmes

For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

- Rinse

Use this programme when you want to rinse or starch separately.

Use this programme to apply an additional spin cycle for your laundry or to drain the water in the machine.

Before selecting this programme, select the desired spin speed and press Start / Pause / Cancel button. The machine will spin the laundry with the set spin speed and drain the water coming out of them.

If you wish to drain only the water without spinning your laundry, select the Pump+Spin programme and then select the No Spin function with the help of Spin Speed Adjustment button. Press Start / Pause / Cancel button.

Use a lower spin speed for delicate laundries.

7 Maintenance and cleaning

The service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if it is 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 the accumulation of powder detergent over time.

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

If more than the 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 into 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 over time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with the Drum

Cleaning programme, use the Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Run the programme. 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.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process every 2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for washing machines.

After every wash, make sure no foreign substances are left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure are blocked, open them 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.

WARNING: Never use sponges or scrub materials. These will damage painted and plastic surfaces.

Maintenance and cleaning

7.3 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.

7.4 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 connect 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, take them out with 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.

7.5 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.

WARNING: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problems.

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

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the power supply.

WARNING: The temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 °C. To avoid the risk of burns, the filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

1. Open the filter cap.

If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.

If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.

You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic-tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal-tipped tools to remove the cover.
