  ** : Energy label programme
  *** : These programmes can be used with the HomeWhiz application. Power consumption may increase due to the connection.
  – : See the programme description for maximum load.
  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.
  6.4 Programme Selection**

  1. Determine the programme suitable for the type, quantity and soiling level of the laundry in accordance with “Programme and consumption table”.
     Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric. When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature.

  2. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection knob.

6.5 Programmes

• Cotton Eco
  Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and linen laundry. 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.

• Cotton
  You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, programme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

• Synthetic
  You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics etc.) in this programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, the programme  duration will be shortened significantly and effective washing performance is provided for your laundry that is not very dirty. If the quick wash function is not selected, effective washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

•  Wool Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.

• Steam & Hygiene
  Applying a steam step at the beginning of the programme allows to soften the dirt easily.
  Use this programme for your laundry (baby clothes, bed sheets, bedlinen, underwear, etc. cotton items) that requires an anti-allergic and hygienic washing at high temperature with intensive and long washing cycle.
  The high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the steam application before the programme, long heating duration and additional rinsing step.

•  Down Wear Use this programme to wash your coats, vest, jackets etc. containing feathers with a “machine-washable” label on them. Thanks to special spinning profiles, it is ensured that the water reaches the air gaps amongst the feathers.

•  Spin + Drain You can use this program to remove the water on the garment/inside the machine.

•  Rinse

• Use when you want to rinse or starch separately.

• Refreshing Steam
  Use this programme to reduce the creases and ironing times of a small amount of unspotted cotton, synthetic or mixed laundry. This is not a washing programme. Do not add chemicals such as detergent, bleach, stain remover, etc. to the detergent drawer during this program.

• Curtain
  You can use this programme to wash your tulles and curtains. As their meshed texture causes excessive foaming, put little amount of detergent into the main washing compartment. Thanks to the special spin profile of the programme, tulles and curtains crease less. Do not load your curtains above the specified capacity in order not to damage them.
  It is recommended to use special detergents produced for curtains in the powder detergent compartment in this programme.

• Shirt
  This programme is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. It reduces wrinkles. Steam is applied at the end of the programme to help the wrinkle reducing function. The special spin profile and steam applied at the end of the programme reduce the wrinkles on your shirts. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.

• Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with the detergent in the powder detergent compartment. Thus, you can obtain the same performance as you obtain with normal washing in a much shorter period of time. Usage life of your shirts increases.
  Do not use pre-wash detergent if you are planning to use delay function of your machine. Prewash detergent may pour out on your clothes and cause stains.
  ** It is recommended to operate the cycle with no more than 6 shirts to minimizewrinkles in your shirts using this cycle. When washing more than 6 shirts, there may be differences on the wrinkle levels and humidity on shirts at the end of cycle.

•  Rapid / Rapid 14 Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled or unspotted cotton clothes in a short time but not for towels or heavy cottons. The programme duration can be reduced down to 14 minutes when the quick wash function is selected. When the quick wash function is selected, maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.

• Dark Wash / Jeans Use this programme to protect the colour of your dark-coloured garments or jeans. It performs high performance washing with special drum movement even if the temperature is low. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or woollen shampoo for dark coloured laundry. Do not wash your delicate clothes containing wool or etc.

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

• Outdoor  You can use this programme to wash sports and outdoors garments that contain cotton/synthetics mix and water repellent covers such as gore-tex etc. It makes sure your garments are washed gently thanks to special rotating movements.

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.

1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves and clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, remove them from their places with a pliers and clean in this way.
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 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:

1. 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.

2. Open the filter cover.

3. 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.

1. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
2. Replace the filter.
3. 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.
