Cleaning the loading door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in the washer in time and may cause unpleasant odours
and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Cotton
90°C programme with Rinse Plus auxiliary functions to
clean the drum. Run the programme without any laundry in the appliance. Before starting the programme, put
maximum 100g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment (compartment 2). If the
anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean
piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.
Make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum after every wash.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on
the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel
wool or wire wool.
Warning: Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted
and plastic surfaces.
Cleaning the body and control panel
Wipe the body of the appliance 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.
Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the washer and also at the end of each water
supply 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 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.
Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in the washer 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.
The pump filter may be clogged if the washer fails to drain water,. 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 appliance (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of
the water, water may have to be drained completely.
