Detergent Drawer

Detergent drawer of your washing machine consists of four different compartments for powder main wash detergent, liquid main wash detergent, liquid softener and powder pre-wash detergent. Each of these laundry additives are dispensed automatically in the relevant time during the washing Programme.
Do not place the laundry additives directly into the drum. Always use the detergent drawer.
Do not close the drawer too fast after putting the laundry additives. This may cause the additives be dispensed early, creating unsatisfactory washing results and fabric damage.

INFORMATION

• Do not open the drawer during washing Programme.

The detergent drawer compartments are indicated below:

1. Left compartment with number “II” (Main wash compartment for powder detergent or powder bleach/stain remover)
2. Left compartment with number “ ” (Main wash compartment for liquid detergent or liquid stain remover)
3. Middle compartment with number “I” (prewash compartment for powder detergent, powder stain remover or liquid bleach – liquid bleach must be added either during the pre-wash or during the first rinsing step of the washing Programme). Liquid bleach must be added manually while the machine takes in water.
4. Right compartment with “ ” symbol (liquid softener compartment).
   

(II) Main Wash Compartment

Before starting the washing Programme, put powder detergent into the left compartment with number “II”. Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package. Powder bleach/ stain remover must also be put into this compartment.
Put the liquid detergent into the main wash compartment with number “ ” before starting the washing Programme. Liquid stain remover must be put into this compartment.
Put the suggested amount of liquid detergent into the left compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. ) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated detergents must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the detergent above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of detergent will reach the laundry without water and may cause stains on the garments. In this case you will need to refill the compartment.
Do not pour the detergent onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.

Liquid Softener Compartment

Put the suggested amount of liquid softener into the right compartment with “ ” symbol and dilute it to the maximum filling level line (max. ) with warm water.
Particularly the concentrated softeners must be diluted with warm water; otherwise, the siphon may get clogged in time.
Do not fill the softener above the maximum filling level line; otherwise the excess amount of softener will get mixed with the washing water and you will need to refill the compartment. Do not pour the softener onto the laundry directly since this may cause stains on the garments.
Liquid softener will be dispensed automatically at the final rinsing step of the washing Programme.

(I) Pre-Wash Compartment

Put the powder pre-wash detergent or powder stain remover into the middle compartment with number “I”.
You can also put liquid bleach into this compartment while the machine takes in water during pre-wash or first rinsing step. Adding the liquid bleach while the machine takes in water allows it to be diluted before it is poured onto the laundry.
You must select extra rinsing option if you use liquid bleach in a washing Programme. Bleach must be removed from the laundry with rinsing; otherwise it may cause itching on the skin.

INFORMATION

• Read the dosage instructions and label of your garments carefully before using the liquid bleach.

• Shirts
  Use this programme to wash shirts made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics together. This programme ensures that your clothes wrinkle less. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is used.

• Apply the pre-treatment chemical directly onto the clothes, or add it together with the detergent when the machine starts to take in water from the main wash compartment. This way, it will take you much shorter to get the performance you would normally get with a regular washing cycle. Life of your shirts will be longer.

• Outdoor / Sports
  Use this programme to wash outdoor/sports clothes that contain cotton/synthetic mix, as well as waterproof cloths like gore-tex. This programme washes your laundry delicately thanks to its special turning movements.

• Stain Expert
  Your washing machine has a special stain programme ensuring that different types of stains are removed in the most efficient way.
  Use this programme only to use durable, colourfast cottons. Do not wash delicate or non-colourfast clothes in this programme. You should check the tags of clothing before washing (recommended for shirts, trousers, shorts, t-shirts, baby clothes, pyjamas, aprons, table cloths, bedding, duvet covers, sheets, bath/brach towels, regular towels, socks, and cotton underwear suitable for long washing cycles at a high temperature). With the auto stain programme, you can remove 24 types of stains grouped into two categories according to quick function selection. Here you can see the stain groups based on quick function selection. Below you will find the stain groups based on the quick function.

When the quick function is selected:

Blood| Fruit juice
Chocolate| Ketchup
Pudding| Red Wine
Egg| Curry
Tea| Jam
Coffee| Coal
When the quick function is not selected:

Butter| Food
Grass| Mayonnaise
Mud| Salad Dressing
Coke| Make-up
Sweat| Machine Oil
Collar Soil| Baby food

• Select the stain programme.
• In the stain groups stated above, find the type of stain you want to remove and select the quick auxiliary function selection key to select the relevant group.
• Carefully read the tag of the clothing and make sure that the temperature and spin speed selected are suitable.
• Down Wear
  Use this programme to wash down coats, vests, jackets etc. that bear a “machine-washable” tag. Thanks to special spin profiles, it is ensured that water reaches the air gaps between feathers.

Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine 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.

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:
