Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required

C

to run the product is between 1 to 10
bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to
have 10 – 80 liters of water flowing
from the fully open tap in one minute
to have your machine run smoothly.

Attach a pressure reducing valve if

water pressure is higher.

If you are going to use the double

C

water-inlet product as a single (cold)
water-inlet unit, you must install the
supplied stopper to the hot water valve

before operating the product. (Applies

for the products supplied with a blind
stopper group.)

If you want to use both water inlets

C

of the product, connect the hot water
hose after removing the stopper and
gasket group from the hot water valve.

(Applies for the products supplied with

a blind stopper group.)

Models with a single water inlet should

A

not be connected to the hot water
tap. In such a case the laundry will get
damaged or the product will switch to
protection mode and will not operate.

Do not use old or used water inlet

A

hoses on the new product. It may
cause stains on your laundry.

1. Connect the special hoses supplied
with the product to the water inlets

on the product. Red hose (left) (max.

90 ºC) is for hot water inlet, blue hose
(right) (max. 25 ºC) is for cold water
inlet.

Ensure that the cold and hot water

A

connections are made correctly when
installing the product. Otherwise, your
laundry will come out hot at the end of
the washing process and wear out.

2. Tighten all hose nuts by hand. Never
use a wrench when tightening the nuts.

3. Open the taps completely after making
the hose connection to check for
water leaks at the connection points.

carefully after checking the seal. To
prevent water leakages and damages
caused by them, keep the taps closed
when the machine is not in use.

Connecting to the drain

• The end of the drain hose must be

directly connected to the wastewater
drain or to the washbasin.

Your house will be flooded if the

A

hose comes out of its housing during
water discharge. Moreover, there is
risk of scalding due to high washing
temperatures! To prevent such
situations and to ensure smooth water
intake and discharge of the machine,
fix the end of the discharge hose tightly
so that it cannot come out.

• The hose should be attached to a

height of at least 60 cm, and 90 cm at
most.

9

EN

• In case the hose is elevated after

laying it on the floor level or close to
the ground (less than 60 cm above the
ground), water discharge becomes
more difficult and the laundry may
come out excessively wet. Therefore,
follow the heights described in the
figure.

the hose must not be pinched between
the drain and the machine.

• If the length of the hose is too short,

use it by adding an original extension
hose. Length of the hose may not be
longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak
failures, the connection between the
extension hose and the drain hose of
the product must be fitted well with an
appropriate clamp as not to come off
and leak.

A

operates more silent and vibration-free,
it must stand level and balanced on its

feet. Balance the machine by adjusting

the feet. Otherwise, the product
may move from its place and cause
crushing and vibration problems.

• To prevent flowing of dirty water back

into the machine and to allow for easy
discharge, do not immerse the hose
end into the dirty water or drive it in the
drain more than 15 cm. If it is too long,
cut it short.

• The end of the hose should not be

bent, it should not be stepped on and

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by

• Do not use bleaching agent and

detergent by mixing them.

• Use just a little amount (approx. 50

ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the

clothes very well as it causes skin

irritation. Do not pour the bleaching

agent onto the clothes and do not use

it for coloured clothes.

• When using oxygen based bleaches,

follow the instructions on the package

and select a programme that washes

at a lower temperature.

• Oxygen based bleaches can be used

together with detergents; however,

if its thickness is not the same with

the detergent, put the detergent first

into the compartment nr. “II” in the

detergent drawer and wait until the

detergent flows while the machine

is taking in water. Add the bleaching

agent from the same compartment

while the machine is still taking in water.

Using limescale remover

• When required, use limescale removers

manufactured specifically for washing

machines only.

6 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.

1. Press the dotted point on the siphon
in the softener compartment and pull
towards you until the compartment is
removed from the machine.

If more than normal amount of water

C

and softener mixture starts to gather in
the softener compartment, the siphon
must be cleaned.

2. 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.

3. Insert the drawer back into its place
after cleaning and make sure that it is
seated well.

If your detergent drawer is the one
indicated in the following figure:

Lift the rear part of the siphon

C

to remove it as illustrated. After

performing the above mentioned
cleaning procedures, replace the
siphon back to its seating and push
its front section downwards to make

sure that the locking tab engages.

Cleaning the loading
door and the drum

Residues of softener, detergent and dirt

may accumulate in your machine in time
and may cause unpleasant odours and
washing complaints. To avoid this, use
the Drum Cleaning programme. If your
machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning
programme, use Cottons-90 programme

and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse
auxiliary functions as well. Before starting

the programme, put max. 100 g of powder
anti-limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment (compartment nr. II). If the
anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only
one tablet into compartment nr. II. 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

C

2 months.

Use an anti-limescale suitable for the

C

washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no

foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the
figure is blocked, open the holes using a
toothpick.

Foreign metal substances in your

C

machine will cause rust stains. Clean
the stains on the drum surface by using
cleaning agents for stainless steel.
Never use steel wool or wire wool.

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.

27

EN

Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean

the control panel.

Never use sponge or scrub materials.

A

These will damage the painted and
plastic surfaces.

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.

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 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.

Foreign substances left in the pump

A

filter may damage your machine or may

cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and
discharge the water:

1. Unplug the machine to cut off the

supply power.

Temperature of the water inside the

A

machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid

burning risk, filter must be cleaned after

the water in the machine cools down.

2. 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

C

slightly pushing downwards with a thin

plastic tipped tool, through the gap
