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.
C
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
