| The auxiliary functions in the table may vary according to the model of your
machine.
---|---
Water and power 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.
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.
“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.”
Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient
programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at
lower temperatures and longer duration.
Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the
higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the
lower the remaining moisture content.

4.3.5 Programmes
• Eco 40-60
The Eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry
declared to be washable at 40 °C or 60 °C, together in the same cycle, and
that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign
legislation.
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.
• Cottons
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, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured
for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended
fabrics etc.) in this programme. The programme duration gets notable shorter
and washing with high performance is ensured. If the quick wash function is
not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your
heavily soiled laundry.
• WoolProtect
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.
• Anti-Allergy
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.
• Programme was tested by „The British Allergy Foundation„ (Allergy UK) with
the 60°C temperature option selected and it was certified in terms of its
efficacy in eliminating allergens in addition to bacteria and mould.
Allergy UK is the brand of the British Allergy Association. Seal of Approval
is created to guide people that require recommendation about a product that
the related product restricts / reduces / eliminates the allergens or reduces

intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent
accumulation of powder detergent in time.
- Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
- Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.
- Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. In order to prevent the residues to contact your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush by wearing a pair of gloves.
- Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.
4 .4.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum
For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product –
Programmes.
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
WARNING: Use an detergent / 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. These will damage the painted, chromated
and plastic surfaces.
4.4.3 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.
4.4.4 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.
- Close the taps.
- 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, remove them from their places with a pliers and clean in this way.
- Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
- Replace the seals and filters carefully and tighten their nuts by hand ensuring there are no leaks.
4.4.5 Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins
and fabric fibres 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. If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut,
remove mains pipe and drain the water inside the machine against any likely
freezing.
After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
-
Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down. -
Open the filter cover.
-
Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
The product has an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water: a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
b. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.
c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
d. Turn and remove the pump filter. -
Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
-
Replace the filter.
-
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.

provided. The Manufacturer will cover the costs and arrange for the delivery
of the new product and for the return of the old product. Any costs related to
disconnecting the faulty product and installing the replacement product will
not be borne by the Manufacturer unless previously agreed to in writing. The
original guarantee will continue to apply to the replacement product; the new
product will not come with a new guarantee.
When will the repair take place?
Our Engineers work Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm. Appointments outside
these hours may be possible at the sole discretion of the Manufacturer but
cannot be guaranteed. Whilst our Engineers will endeavour to minimize
inconvenience and to meet requests for specific timed appointments, this
cannot be guaranteed. We will not be liable for delays or if it is unable to
carry out a repair because a convenient appointment cannot be arranged.
Will there be any charge for the repairs?
It is your responsibility to provide evidence to the Engineer that your
product is covered by this guarantee with a proof of purchase. The
Manufacturer reserves the right to charge for the reasonable cost of any
service call if:
- You cannot provide evidence that your product is covered by this guarantee.
- Where a service call has been made and the engineer finds that there is no fault with your product.
- That your product has not been installed or operated in accordance with the User Instructions Booklet.
- That the fault was caused by something other than faulty materials, defective components or manufacturing defects.
- For missed appointments.
Payment of these costs are due immediately upon the Engineer providing you
with an invoice. The Manufacturer reserves the right to terminate the
guarantee if you fail to pay the costs for the service call in a timely
manner.
