4.3.5 Main programmes

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

•Cottons

You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this programme. When the quick wash function button is pressed, programme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing performance is ensured with intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

•Synthetics

You can wash your laundry (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended fabrics etc.) in this programme. The programme duration gets notable shorter and washing with high performance is ensured. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.

•Woollens/HandWash

Use to wash your woolen/delicate laundry. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.

"Woolens programme of this machine is approved by “The Woolmark Company” for washing machine-washable woolen products provided that the products are washed in accordance with the instructions on the product tag and the instructions published by the manufacturer of this machine. M14022"

In UK, Ireland, Hong Kong and India, the Woolmark trademark is a Certification trademark.

4.3.6 Additional programmes

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

C Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

•CottonsEco

Use to wash your normally soiled, durable cotton and linen laundry. Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease more, providing a more economic wash.

4.4 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of product extends and frequently experienced problems will be reduced if it is cleaned at regular intervals.

4.4.1 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.

Lifttherearpartofthesiphontoremoveitasillustrated.

If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.

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

2. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. In order to prevent the residues to contact your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush by wearing a pair of gloves.

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

4.4.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum

For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product - Programmes.

C

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 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. These will damage the painted, chromated and plastic surfaces.

4.4.3 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.

4.4.5 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 freezingofthewater,watermayhavetobedrainedcompletely.

A CAUTION: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.

CAUTION: If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut, remove mains pipe and drain the water inside themachineagainstanylikelyfreezing.

CAUTION: After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1 Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.

A CAUTION: Temperatureofthewaterinsidethemachinemayriseupto90ºC.Toavoidtheburningrisk,clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down.

2. Open the filter cover.

3 Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.

The product does not have an emergency water drain hose, in order to drain the water:

a. In order to collect the water to flow out of the filter, place a large vessel in front of the filter.

b. Turn and loosen the pump filter until water starts to flow (counterclockwise). 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.Replace the filter.

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.
