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.

You can remove the filter cover by slightly
pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped
tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do
not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.
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 has an
emergency draining hose:
Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
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. When
draining of water is finished, close the end by the

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.
