Washing Machine / User’s Manual
5.3 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.
5.4 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.
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,
take them out by means of pliers and clean them.
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 in their
places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.
5.5 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.
A
WARNING:
Foreign substances left in the
pump filter may damage your machine or may
cause noise problem.
WARNING:
If the product is not in use, turn
the tap off, detach the supply hose and drain the
water inside the machine against any freezing
possibility in the region of installation.
WARNING:
After each use close the supply
hose tap of the product.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water:
1 Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A
WARNING:
Temperature of the water inside the
machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning
risk, clean the filter after the water in the machine
cools down.
2 Open the filter cap.
3 Some of our products have emergency draining
hose and some does not have. Follow the steps
below to discharge the water.
Discharging the water when the product does not
have an emergency draining hose:
a Place a large container in front of the filter to catch
water from the filter.
b Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts
to flow. 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 Install 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.
