5.6 Using Detergent and Softener
WARNING Read the manufacturer instructions on the package while using detergents, softeners, starch, bleach and decolourants, anti-limescale and follow the dosage information provided. Use a measuring cup, if any.
The detergent drawer comprises of three compartments: (1) for prewash, (2) for main washing, (3) for softener, ( ) a syphon piece in the softener compartment, ( ) there is a liquid detergent apparatus for liquid detergent use in the main washing compartment. Detergent, Softener and Other Cleaning Agents · Add detergent and softener before start-
ing the washing programme. · Do not leave the detergent drawer open
when the washing programme is on. · If you are using a programme without
pre-washing, do not put detergent in the pre-wash compartment (compartment no. “1”). · If you are using a program with prewash, start the machine after adding powder detergent to the prewash and main wash compartments (compartments 1 and 2).

EN / 15

· Do not select a programme with prewashing if you are using a detergent pod or dispensing ball. Place the detergent pod or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the product.
· If you are using a liquid detergent, follow the directions under “Liquid detergent use” and do not forget to bring the liquid detergent apparatus to the correct position.
Choosing the Detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the washing programme, fabric type and colour. · Use different detergents for coloured and
white laundry. · Wash your delicate clothes only with spe-
cial detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delicate clothes and at suggested programmes. · When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent. · Wash woollens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woollens. · Please review the programme descriptions part for suggested programme for different textiles. · All recommendations about detergents are valid for selectable temperature range of programmes.

Using Softeners
Put the softener in the softener compartment of the detergent drawer. · Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign in
the softener compartment. · If the softener is not fluid, dilute with wa-
ter before placing in the softener compartment.
WARNING
Do not use liquid detergents or other materials with cleaning properties unless they are intended for use in washing machines for softening the laundry.
Using Liquid Detergents
If the Product Has a Liquid Detergent Apparatus
· Press and rotate the apparatus at where it is shown when you want to use liquid detergents. The part falling below will serve as a barrier for liquid detergent.
· Clean with water at its place or by removing from its place when it is necessary. Do not forget to place the apparatus in the main washing compartment (compartment no. “2”) after cleaning.
· The apparatus should be up if you will use a powder detergent. The fan that you would see in this position will mix the powder detergent and help it to dissolve.

Only detergents, softeners and additives suitable for washing machines should be used. Do not use soap powder.
Adjusting the Detergent Amount
The amount of detergent depends on the amount of laundry, how soiled they are and the water hardness. · Do not exceed the recommended dosage
values on the detergent packaging in order to eliminate excessive foam and poor rinsing problems, to save money and protect the environment. · Use less amounts of detergent for fewer or less soiled laundry.

Use of Gel and Tablet Detergents
· If the detergent is fluid and there is no liquid detergent compartment in your product, place the gel detergent in the main washing detergent compartment in first water intake. If your product has a liquid detergent compartment, fill the compartment with detergent before starting the programme.

Please read Installation section of the manual before first use. The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your machine. Water and energy consumption may vary subject to the changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, selection of auxiliary functions and spin speed, and changes in electric voltage. Selection patterns for auxiliary functions can be changed by the manufacturer company. New selection patterns can be added or removed. The spin speed of your machine may vary according to the programme; this spin speed cannot exceed the max. spin speed of your machine. The amount of noise and humidity varies according to the spin speed; when the higher spin speed is selected during the spinning phase, the laundry contains less moisture but higher noise occurs at the end of the programme.

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. 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.

EN / 30

7.1 Cleaning the Detergent Drawer Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (once every 4 to 5 wash) as mentioned below to prevent accumulation of powder detergent. Clean the syphon if excess amounts of water and fabric softener mixture remains in the softener compartment.
a. Press the marked part of the syphon within the softener compartment and then pull the drawer towards yourself to take it out.
b. Lift and remove the syphon from behind as shown.

7.2 Cleaning the Loading Door and the Drum
For products with drum cleaning programme, please see the Operating the product section.
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months. NOTICE: Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the product. If the holes on the door gasket shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick. Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool. These will damage the painted, chrome coated and plastic surfaces. We recommend you to wipe the door gasket with a dry and clean cloth at the end of the programme. This will remove residues on the door gasket in your machine and prevent formation of malodours.
7.3 Cleaning the Body and Control Panel
Wipe the body of the product 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. Do not use cleaning products that contain bleach
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 to enter the product. Filters should be cleaned if they are dirty.

a. Close the taps. b. Remove the nuts of the water intake
hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves and clean them with an
EN / 31

appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, remove them from their places with a pliers and clean in this way.
c. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
d. 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 fibres 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. 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 product (e.g., when moving to another house) water should be drained completely.
NOTICE: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your product or may cause noise problem. In regions where freezing is possible, the tap must be closed, system hose must be removed and the water inside the product must be drained when the product is 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:
a. Unplug the product to cut off the supply power.

Temperature of the water inside the product may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the risk of scalding, clean the filter after the water inside the product is cooled down. b. Open the filter cover.
c. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
If the product does not have an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water:
· Place a large container at the end of the hose to collect the water from the filter.
· When the pump filter starts leaking water loosen it by turning (opposite clockwise). Fill the running water to the container you placed in front of the filter. Keep a cloth ready to clean the water that may spill.
· Completely turn and remove the pump filter when the water in the product leaks out.
a. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
b. Replace the filter. c. 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.
