• (3) for softener
• ( ) in addition, there is a siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. “1”).
• 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 container into the main wash compartment (compartment number “2”).

Choosing the detergent type

Detergent type to be used depends on the washing programme, fabric type and color.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delicate clothes and at suggested programmes..
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woolens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woolens
• Please review the program descriptions part for suggested program for different textiles.
• All recommendations about detergents are valid for selectable temperature range of programmes

CAUTION: Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.
CAUTION: 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 sign on 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:

Main programmes

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

• Cottons 20-40-90
  Use this programme for your cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.).
  Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.

• Synthetics
  Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with a gentle action for a shorter washing cycle when compared to the Cottons programme. For curtains and tulle, it is recommended to use Synthetics 20˚C or 40˚C programme.

• Woollens / Hand Wash
  Use to wash your woolen/delicate laundry. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.

Additional programmes

For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.

 Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

• 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 more.

• Cottons 60/Classic
  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 more, providing a more economic wash.

• Cottons 60° with Prewash
  Use this programme only for heavily soiled cotton clothes. Add detergent into the prewash compartment.

• Xpress 30°
  Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

• Shirts
  This programme is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. It reduces wrinkles. Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.

  • Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with detergent
    when the machine starts to take water from the main washing compartment. Thus the machine will wash them in a short period of time and expected lifespan of your shirts will extend.

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

• Drum Clean
  Use regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene.
  Operate the programme while the machine is completely empty. To obtain better results, put powder lime-scale remover for washing machines into the detergent compartment no. “2”. When the  programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry.

This is not a washing programme. It is a maintenance programme.
Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that there is load inside and aborts the programme.

Special programmes

For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

Spin+Drain
You can use this function to remove the water on the garment of drain the water in the machine.
Before selecting this programme, select the desired spin speed and press Start / Pause button. First, the machine will drain the water inside of it. Then, it will spin the laundry with the set spin speed and drain the water coming out of them.
If you wish to drain only the water without spinning your laundry, select the Pump+Spin programme and then select the No Spin function with the help of Spin Speed Adjustment button. Press Start / Pause button.

 Use a lower spin speed for delicate laundries.

Speed selection

Whenever a new programme is selected, the recommended spin speed of the selected programme is displayed on the spin speed indicator.
To decrease the spin speed, press the Spin Speed Adjustment button. Spin speed decreases gradually. Then, depending on the model of the product, “Rinse Hold” and “No Spin” options appear on the display. When “No Spin” is selected, the rinse level indicator lights will not turn on.

Rinse hold
If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after the programme completes, you can use rinse hold function to keep your laundry in the final rinsing water in order to prevent them from getting wrinkled when there is no water in the machine. Press Start / Pause button after this process if you want to drain the water without spinning your laundry. Programme will resume and complete after draining the water.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

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.
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.

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.

2.  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.

3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

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.
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.

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, 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 seals and filters carefully and tighten their 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.

CAUTION: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
CAUTION: 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.
CAUTION: 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:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
   CAUTION: 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.

2. Open the filter cover.

3. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
   The product does not have an emergency water drain hose, in order to drain the water:
   a. In order to collect the water to flow out of the filter, place a large vessel in front of the filter.
   b. Turn and loosen the pump filter until water starts to flow (counterclockwise). 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. Replace 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.
