4.4 Program introduction
Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.

• Cotton
  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.

• Down Wear
  The process of down wear、 is specially designed for washing down jacket. The material of down jacket is light, difficult to rinse, poor anti washing ability, and difficult to absorb water.
  Therefore, it is necessary to extend the soaking time in the washing process, and reduce the rotation speed during dehydration.

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

• Bedding
  The main washing objects of the program are bed sheets, quilt covers, curtains, overcoats and tablecloths and so on. In the washing process, the soaking time and washing time of the load are increased to improve the washing effect.

• Drum Clean
  Periodically (every 1-2 months) use this program to clean the drum for necessary sanitation cleaning. Let the washing machine run the programme without any laundry. For better results, add powdered limescale cleaning agent to the detergent box. After the program, leave the front door ajar and let the inside of the machine dry.

• Stain
  For the clothes with more stubborn stains, the washing effect can be improved by longer washing time and strong washing rhythm.

• Underwear
  Underwear program is a special program for washing underwear and other close fitting clothes. The washing rhythm is weak. At the same time, in order to ensure the rinsing performance and prevent detergent residue, the rinsing intensity is required to be higher.

• Silk
  You can choose this programme to wash delicate fabrics such as silk. The wash is very gentle, and the spin step is not done right away. This programme is best if the laundry requires a gentle wash.

• Steam
  Steam washing process is to produce steam in the washing process, improve the washing effect, and at the same time, steam iron the clothes to prevent wrinkles.

• Quick 15 ’
  Quick wash 15 is a fast washing program for a small amount of non dirty clothes. Its optional washing temperature range is narrow and the maximum speed of dehydration is low.

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

• 20℃
  New European standard special program, used to wash some mild clothes, the temperature can only be selected at 20 ℃, to protect the clothes

• ECO 40-60
  For washing cotton garments that are normally washable at 40°C or 60°C, while washing in the same cycle. This cycle is used to assess compliance with EU ecodesign regulations.

4.5 Special programmes
For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
   If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

2. 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 of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.

3. 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 to its seating and push its front section downwards to make sure that the locking tab engages.

5.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum
For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product – Programmes.
For products without drum cleaning, follow the below steps to clean the drum:
Select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions. Use a Cottons programme without pre-wash. Set the temperature to the level recommended on the drum cleaning agent which can be provided from authorized services. Apply this procedure without any laundry in the product. Before starting the programme, put 1 pouch of special drum cleaning agent (if the special agent could not be supplied, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale) into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment no. “2”). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into the main wash compartment no. “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 in every 2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.
After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow 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.
warning: Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.

5.3 Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or noncorrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry  with asoft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.
5.4 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 are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter 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 by means of 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.

5.5 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.

WARNING : Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
   WARNING : Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.

2. Open the filter cap. 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.

3. Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.
   Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.
   b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. 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. Install 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.

5.6 Regular cleaning
Clean the interior of the pump hosing, removing any debris or foreign objects.periodic cleaning, including optimal frequency, and limescale prevention and procedure.
If the appliance water supply slows or stops completely, the water inlet strainer may be blocked. Cleaning is recommended every 6 months in any event to reduce chances of valve blockage in areas using hard water.
