Can I use liquid detergent?

Yes, you can use liquid detergent. Pour it into the appropriate compartment (marked with II) and ensure the detergent flap is inserted for liquid use to avoid overdosing.

How do I clean the drum filter?

The drum filter (located at the bottom front) should be cleaned every 3 months. Open the access cover, unscrew the filter, remove any debris, and rinse it under running water.

What is the maximum spin speed?

The maximum spin speed is 1400 rpm, which helps reduce drying time. You can adjust it for delicate fabrics.

Why is the machine vibrating excessively?

Excessive vibration may be due to unbalanced load or transport bolts not removed. Ensure the machine is level and the load is evenly distributed.

Note: Durations vary according to wash load (weight and type), tap water, ambient temperature and selected extra functions.

Before first use

a: Plug in the machine.

b: Open the water tap.

c: There may be water left inside your machine after factory tests and trials. It is recommended that the first wash cycle be carried out with no laundry, to remove this water; pour half a measuring cup of normal laundry detergent into compartment 2 and select cotton program at 90°C.

Preparing for a wash

Laundry

• Sort your clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic, delicate, woolen, etc.), washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.
• Never wash your white and coloured clothes together.
• Since your new coloured clothes may release dye on the first wash, wash them separately.
• Remove any small objects from the pockets of your clothes.
• Ensure that all zips and buttons on your clothes are fastened.
• Remove the plastic or metal hooks of curtains or place them inside a washing bag and tie.
• Turn clothes such as trousers, knitted fabrics, t-shirts and sweat shirts inside out.
• Wash your small clothes like socks and handkerchiefs in a washing bag.

Placing clothes into the machine

• Open the door of your machine.
• Put your clothes into your machine in a well-balanced manner.
• Place your clothes loosely in the machine.
• When you shut the door of your machine, be careful that no cloth is jammed between the cover and the gasket.
• Shut the door of your machine securely, otherwise your machine will not start the washing process.

Detergent

The quantity of detergent to be loaded into the machine will depend on the following criteria:

- Your detergent consumption will change depending on how dirty the clothes are. For your

slightly dirty clothes, do not pre-wash and put a small amount of detergent in compartment 2 of the detergent drawer.

• For your excessively dirty clothes, select a program with pre-washing; fill 14 portion of the detergent in compartment 1 in the detergent drawer and the remaining portion in compartment 2.
• Use detergents developed especially for automatic washing machines. The quantities that will be used for your clothes are written on the packaging of the detergents.
• As the hardness of your water increases, the amount of the detergent to be consumed will also increase.
• As the amount of clothing increases, the amount of the detergent that will need to be used will also increase.
• Fill your softener in the softener compartment in your detergent drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will diffuse in the washing water via the siphon.
• Concentrated softeners with high viscosity should be diluted with water before loading in the drawer. This is because high-viscosity softeners obstruct the siphon and prevent the flow of the softener.
• You can use liquid detergents in all programs without pre-washing. For this, mount the liquid detergent level plate in the second compartment of the detergent drawer and arrange the amount of liquid detergent according to the levels on this plate.

Your machine is equipped with systems which will take the necessary precautions and warn you in case of any. IMPORTANT: IT CAN TAKE UPTO 10 MINUTES FOR ERROR TO REGISTER.

Water inlet filters

On the tap part of your machine's water inlet hose and at the ends of water inlet valves, there are filters to prevent entrance of the dirt and foreign materials in the water to the machine. If the machine is unable to receive sufficient water although your water tap is fully opened, these filters should be cleaned.

• Remove the water inlet hose.
• Remove the filters found on the water inlet valves by using a pincer and wash thoroughly with a brush. (1)
• Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses located on the tap side by removing manually together with the seal. (2)
  • After you clean the filters, you can fit them the same way as you have removed them.

- You can reattach the pump cover in the reverse order that you removed it.

Danger of being scalded! The water inside the pump maybe hot- wait for it to cool.

Pump filter

The pump filter system elongates the life of your pump, which is used to drain the dirty water. It prevents lint to enter the pump. Cleaning of your pump filter in every 2-3 months is recommended. To clean your pump filter:

- To open the pump cover, you can use the powder detergent spade (*) or liquid detergent level plate coming out of your machine. (1-A & 2-A)

- Before opening the filter cover, place a cup in front of the filter cover to prevent flow of the remaining water in the machine. - Clean the foreign materials in the filter with a brush and flush with clean water. (3-A) - Check for the rotation of the pump manually. - After cleaning the filter, fit the filter cover and tighten it by rotating it in clockwise direction.

(4-A)

• Remove the foreign materials from the filter.
• Do not forget that if you do not fit in the filter cover properly, it will leak water.
• While closing the pump cover, ensure that the parts on the inner side of the cover to match the holes on the front panel side. (5-A)
