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.

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 (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.

A

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.

A

WARNING: 

After each use close 

the supply hose tap of the product. 

In order to clean the dirty filter and 

discharge the water:

  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.
