5 Maintenance and cleaning
Detergent Drawer
Remove any powder residue buildup in the
drawer. To do this;
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 a normal amount of water
and softener mixture starts to gather in the
softener compartment, the siphon must be
cleaned.
2. Wash the dispenser drawer and the
siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a
washbasin.
3. Replace the drawer into its housing after
cleaning. Check if the siphon is in its
original location.
Inlet water filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake
valve at the back side of the machine and also
at the end of each water intake hose where
they are connected to the tap. These filters
prevent the foreign substances and dirt in the
water to enter into the machine. Filters should
be cleaned as they get dirty.
• Close the taps.
• Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses
to clean the surfaces of the filters on the
water intake valves with an appropriate
brush.
• If the filters are very dirty, you can pull 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
streaming water.
• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully to
their places and tighten the hose nuts by
hand.
Draining any remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
Your product is equipped with a filter system
which ensures a cleaner water discharge that
extends pump life by preventing solid items
such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from
clogging the pump propeller during discharge
of the washing water.
• If your machine fails to drain the water,
the pump filter may be clogged. You may
have to clean it every 2 years or whenever
it is plugged. Water must be drained off to
clean the pump filter.
In addition, water may have to be drained off
completely in the following cases:
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when
moving house)
• when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge
the water;
1- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply
power.
A There may be water at 90°C in the
machine. Therefore, the filter must be
cleaned only after the inside water is
cooled down to avoid hazard of scalding.
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be
composed of one or two pieces according to
the model of your machine.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab
on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece
out towards yourself.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it from
both sides and open it by pulling out.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with
some of our models. Others are not supplied
with this item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the
figure below:
• Pull out the pump outlet hose from its
housing.
• Place a large container at the end of the
hose. Drain the water off into the container
