Service life of the product extends and
frequently faced problems decrease if
cleaned at regular intervals.
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.
1. Press the dotted point on the siphon
in the softener compartment and pull
towards you until the compartment is
removed from the machine.
C
If more than normal amount of water
and softener mixture starts to gather
in the softener compartment, the
siphon must be cleaned.
2. Wash the detergent drawer and the
siphon with plenty of lukewarm water
in a washbasin. Wear protective
gloves or use an appropriate brush to
avoid touching of the residues in the
drawer with your skin when cleaning.
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
Residues of softener, detergent and
dirt may accumulate in your machine in
time and may cause unpleasant odours
and washing complaints. To avoid this,
use the Drum Cleaning programme. If
your machine is not featured with Drum
Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90
programme and select Additional Water
or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well.
Before starting the programme, put
max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into
the main wash detergent compartment
(compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale
is in tablet form, put only one tablet into
compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of the
bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the
programme has come to an end.
C Repeat Drum Cleaning process in
every 2 months.

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.
C Foreign metal substances in your
machine will cause rust stains. Clean
the stains on the drum surface by
using cleaning agents for stainless
steel. Never use steel wool or wire
wool.
Cleaning the body

soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel
detergents as necessary, and dry with a
soft cloth.

the control panel.

plastic surfaces.
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
