The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine.

Water and energy consumption may vary subject to changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, selection of auxiliary functions, spin speed, and changes in electric voltage.

Selection patterns for auxiliary functions can be changed by the manufacturer. New selection patterns can be added or existing ones can be removed. The spin speed of your machine may vary according to the programme; this spin speed cannot exceed the maximum spin speed of your machine.

The amount of noise and humidity varies according to the spin speed; when a higher spin speed is selected during the spinning phase, the laundry contains less moisture at the end of the programme but higher noise occurs.

You can see the washing duration on the display of your machine while selecting a programme. Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into your machine, there may be a difference of 1-1.5 hours between the duration shown on the display and the actual duration of the wash cycle. The duration will be automatically updated soon after the washing starts.

Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that wash at low temperatures for a long time.

The spin speed information given in the programme table indicates the spin speed option shown on the control panel.

6.4 Programme Selection

1. Determine the programme suitable for the type, quantity and soiling level of the laundry in accordance with the "Programme and consumption table".

Programmes are limited to 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.

1. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection knob.

6.5 Programmes

Eco Cotton

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. 1/2 capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease.

Use this program to wash your lightly soiled cotton laundry in a short time.

Use this program to wash your lightly soiled cotton and synthetic laundry in a short time without sorting them.

Synthetic 59 min.

Use this programme to wash lightly soiled laundry made of synthetic fabrics in less than one hour.

Cotton 28 min.

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

Express 14'

Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled or unspotted cotton clothes in a short time. Maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.

Cotton

You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, programme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If

7.4 Cleaning the Water Intake Filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the product 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 product. Filters should be cleaned if they are dirty.

1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves and 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 gaskets and filters carefully and tighten their nuts by hand.

7.5 Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter

The filter system in your product prevents solid items such as buttons, coins, and fabric fibers from clogging the pump impeller during draining of washing water. Thus, the water will be drained without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.

If the product fails to drain water inside it, 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 product (e.g., when moving to another house), water should be drained completely.

NOTE:

Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your product or may cause noise problems.

If you live in areas prone to frost, remember to turn off the water tap, disconnect the main hose, and drain the water from the product when it's not in use.

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

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

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

Temperature of the water inside the product may rise up to 90 °C. To avoid the risk of scalding, clean the filter after the water inside the product is cooled down.
