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

• Bumbac
  Use this programme for your cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

• Sinteticeics
  Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with a gentle action for a shorter washing cycle when compared to the Cottons programme. For curtains and tulle, it is recommended to use Synthetics 20˚C or 40˚C programme.

• Wool / Hand wash 40°
  Use to wash your woolen/delicate laundry. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.
  4.3.6 Additional programmes
  For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.
  Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

• Eco 40-60
  The Eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
  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. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease more.

• Cotton 60° with Prewash
  Use this programme only for heavily soiled cotton clothes. Add detergent into the prewash compartment.

• Quick Wash 30°
  Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

•  This programme is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. At the end of the program steam is used to reduce wrinkles. Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.

• pply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with detergent when the machine starts to take water from the main washing compartment. Thus the machine will wash them in a short period of time and expected lifespan of your shirts will extend.

• Geci cu puf 40°
  Use this programme to wash your coats, vest, jackets etc. containing feathers with a “machinewashable” label on them. Thanks to special spinning profiles, it is ensured that the water reaches the air gaps amongst the feathers. At the end of the program, steam is used to soften thick fabrics such as towels.

• 40° shirts Self-cleaninge

Use regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene.
Operate the programme while the machine is completely empty. To obtain better results, put
powder lime-scale remover for washing machines into the detergent compartment no. “2”. When
the programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry.
The steam is used before the program to soften the residue in the drum.

Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that
there is load inside and aborts the programme.
4.3.7 Special programmes
For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

• Rinsing

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 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. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in 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 problem.
CAUTION: If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut, remove 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 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down.

2. Open the filter cover.

3. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
   The product does not have an emergency water drain hose, in order to drain the water:
   a. In order to collect the water to flow out of the filter, place a large vessel in front of the filter.
   b. Turn and loosen the pump filter until water starts to flow (counterclockwise). Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.
   c When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.

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.
