Your machine will end the programme when you
turn the Programme Selection knob; however,
it does not drain the water inside. When you
select and start a new programme, the newly
selected programme will start depending on the
step the previous programme was canceled in.
For example, it may take in additional water or
continue to wash with the water inside.
C
Depending on the step where the
programme was canceled in, you may have
to put detergent and softener again for the
programme you have selected anew.
5 Maintenance and cleaning
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.
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.
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. Insert the drawer back
into its place after cleaning and make sure that it
is seated well.
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, take them out
by means of pliers and clean them. 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 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
(eg., when moving to another house) and in case
of freezing of the water, water may have to be
drained completely.
A
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:
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 burning risk,
filter must be cleaned after the water in the
machine cools down.
Open the filter cap.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces,
press the tab on the filter cap downwards
and pull the piece out towards yourself.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from
both sides at the top to open.
