• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. “1”).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. “2”).

Choosing the detergent type
The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens.
  WARNİNG Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.
  WARNİNG Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes.

Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level marking in the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent drawer.

Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• Make sure that you have placed the liquid detergent cup in compartment nr. “2”.
• If the liquid detergent has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting in the detergent cup.

If the product is equipped with a liquid detergent part:

When you want to use liquid detergent, pull the apparatus towards yourself. The part that falls down will serve as a barrier for the liquid detergent. If required, clean the apparatus with water when it is in place or by removing it. If you will use powder detergent, the apparatus must be secured at top position.

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with the Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent
Apply the following instructions when using tablet, gel and similar detergents.

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of a capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. “2”) or directly into the drum before washing.
• Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings.
• Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• • Add liquid starch, powder starch or fabric dye into the softener compartment.
  • Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
  • Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using bleaches

• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleaching agent and detergents by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes.
• When using oxygen-based bleaches, select a programme that washes at a lower temperature.
• Oxygen-based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. “2” in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water.

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.

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.

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 a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

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.

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:

1. a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.
2. 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.
3. 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.

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.
