8

EN

3. Attach the plastic covers supplied in

the User Manual bag into the holes on
the rear panel. (P)

Keep the transportation safety bolts in

C

a safe place to reuse when the washing
machine needs to be moved again in
the future.

Never move the product without the

C

transportation safety bolts properly
fixed in place!

Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required

C

to run the product is between 1 to 10
bars (0.1 – 10 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.
If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and

remove the nut. Retighten the nut

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 40 cm, and 100 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 40 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.

• 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
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.

Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the product

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.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by
hand.

2. Adjust the feet until the product stands

level and balanced.

3. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.

Do not use any tools to loosen the lock

A

nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments

such as, underwired bras, belt buckles
or metal buttons will damage the

machine. Remove the metal pieces or

wash the clothes by putting them in a
laundry bag or pillow case.

13

EN

• Take out all substances in the pockets

such as coins, pens and paper clips,
and turn pockets inside out and brush.

Such objects may damage the product

or cause noise problem.

• Put small size clothes such as infant’s

socks and nylon stockings in a laundry
bag or pillow case.

• Place curtains in without compressing
them. Remove curtain attachment

items.

• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and

mend rips and tears.

• Wash “machine washable” or “hand

washable” labeled products only with
an appropriate programme.

• Do not wash colours and whites

together. New, dark coloured cottons
release a lot of dye. Wash them
separately.

• Tough stains must be treated properly

before washing. If unsure, check with a
dry cleaner.

• Use only dyes/colour changers

and limescale removers suitable for

machine wash. Always follow the

instructions on the package.

encounter such a case, place the tablet

detergent between the laundry, close

to the lower part of the drum in future

washings.

Use the tablet or gel detergent without

C

selecting the prewash function.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the

dyestuff into the softener compartment

as instructed on the package.

• Do not use softener and starch

together in a washing cycle.

• Wipe the inside of the machine with

a damp and clean cloth after using

starch.

Using bleaches

• Select a programme with prewash

and add the bleaching agent at the

beginning of the prewash. Do not put

detergent in the prewash compartment.

As an alternative application, select a

programme with extra rinse and add

the bleaching agent while the machine

is taking water from the detergent

compartment during first rinsing step.

• 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.

• Always follow instructions on the

package.

Preparing the machine

1. Make sure that the hoses are
connected tightly.

2. Plug in your machine.

3. Turn the tap on completely.

4. Place the laundry in the machine.

5. Add detergent and fabric softener.

Programme selection

1. Select the programme suitable for
the type, quantity and soiling degree
of the laundry in accordance with the
"Programme and consumption table"
and the temperature table below.

Heavily soiled white cottons

90˚C

60˚C

40˚C­30˚C­Cold

2. Select the desired programme with the
Programme Selection button.

Programmes are limited with the

C

highest spin speed appropriate for that
particular type of fabric.

When selecting a programme, always

C

consider the type of fabric, colour,
degree of soiling and permissible water
temperature.

Always select the lowest required

C

temperature. Higher temperature
means higher power consumption.

For further programme details, see

C

"Programme and consumption table".

and linens. (coffee table
covers, tableclothes, towels,
bed sheets, etc.)

Normally soiled, coloured,
fade proof cottons or synthetic
clothes (shirt, nightgown,

pajamas, etc.) and lightly

soiled white linens (underwear,
etc.)

Blended laundry including
delicate textile (veil curtains,
etc.), synthetics and woolens.

Main programmes

Depending on the type of fabric, use the
following main programmes.

• Cottons

Use this programme for your cotton laundry
(such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase
sets, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.).

Your laundry will be washed with vigorous
washing action for a longer washing cycle.

• Synthetics

Use this programme to wash your synthetic
clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton
blends, etc.). It washes with a gentle action
and has a shorter washing cycle compared
to the Cottons programme.
For curtains and tulle, use the Synthetic
40˚C programme with prewash and

anti-creasing functions selected. As

their meshed texture causes excessive
foaming, wash the veils/tulle by putting little
amount of detergent into the main wash
compartment. Do not put detergent in the
prewash compartment.

• Woollens

Use this programme to wash your woolen
clothes. Select the appropriate temperature
complying with the tags of your clothes.
Use appropriate detergents for woolens.

Additional programmes

For special cases, additional programmes
are available in the machine.

Additional programmes may differ

C

according to the model of the machine.

• Cottons Eco

You may wash your normally soiled
durable cotton and linen laundry in this
programme with the highest energy and
water saving compared to all other wash

programmes suitable for cottons. Actual

water temperature may differ from the
declared cycle temperature. Programme
duration may automatically be shortened
during later stages of the programme if you
wash less amount (e.g. ½ capacity or less)
of laundry. In this case energy and water
consumption will be further decreased
giving you the opportunity for a more
economical wash. This feature is available
for certain models having remaining time
display.

• Baby+Toddler Clothing

Use this programme to wash baby laundry,
and the laundry that belongs to allergic
persons. Longer heating time and an
additional rinsing step provide a higher level
of hygiene.

• Delicates

Use this programme to wash your delicate
clothes. It washes with a gentle action
without any interim spin compared to the

19

EN

Synthetics programme.

• Hand Wash

Use this programme to wash your woolen/
delicate clothes that bear “not machine­washable” tags and for which hand wash
is recommended. It washes laundry with
a very gentle washing action to not to
damage clothes.

• Daily Quick

Use this programme to wash your lightly
soiled cotton clothes in a short time.

• Xpress Super Short

Use this programme to wash your little
amount of lightly soiled cotton clothes in a
short time.

for which you cannot use Cottons 60 °C
programme. It gives the same result with
the Cottons 60 °C programme by washing
for a longer time at 40 °C, thus enabling
energy saving.

• Shirts

Use this programme to wash the shirts
made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic
blended fabrics together.

• Fashion Care

You can use this program to wash your
laundry that bear “viscous and viscous
blends” labels or which are advised to

garments that are worn for a short time
such as sportswear. It is suitable to wash
little amount of cotton / synthetic blended
garments.

• Duvet

duvets that bear "machine washable"
tag. Make sure that you have loaded the
duvet correctly in order not to damage the

machine and the duvet. Remove the duvet

cover before loading the duvet into the
machine. Fold the duvet into two and load
it into the machine. Load the duvet into the
machine paying attention to place it in a

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.

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.
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.

28

EN

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

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
above the filter cover. Do not use metal
tipped tools to remove the cover.

3. Some of our products have emergency
draining hose and some does not have.
Follow the steps below to discharge
the water.

Discharging the water when the product
has an emergency draining hose:

a. Pull the emergency draining hose out

from its seat

b. Place a large container at the end

of the hose. Drain the water into the
container by pulling out the plug at the
end of the hose. When the container
is full, block the inlet of the hose by

replacing the plug. After the container

29

EN

is emptied, repeat the above procedure
to drain the water in the machine
completely.

c. When draining of water is finished,

close the end by the plug again and fix

the hose in its place.
d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
Discharging the water when the product
does not have an emergency draining
hose:

a. Place a large container in front of the

filter to catch water from the filter.
b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until

water starts to flow. Fill the flowing

water into the container you have

placed in front of the filter. Always keep

a piece of cloth handy to absorb any

spilled water.
c. When the water inside the machine is

finished, take out the filter completely

by turning it.

4. Clean any residues inside the filter as

well as fibers, if any, around the pump

impeller region.

5. Install the filter.

If your product has a water jet feature,

A

be sure to fit the filter into its housing

in the pump. Never force the filter

while installing it into its housing. Seat

the filter into its place completely.

Otherwise, water may leak from the

filter cap.

6. If the filter cap is composed of two

pieces, close the filter cap by pressing

on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the

tabs in the lower part into their places

first, and then press the upper part to

close.
