Therefore, follow the heights described in
the figure.

• To prevent the waste water to go back
into the machine again and to ensure easy
drainage, do not immerse the end of the
hose into the waste water or do not insert
it into the drain for 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

4.2.8 Displayed Program Time

You can see the programme duration on the
display of your machine while selecting a
programme. Depending on the amount of laundry
you have loaded into your machine, foaming,
unbalanced load conditions, fluctuations in power
supply, water pressure and program settings, the
programme duration is automatically adjusted
while the programme is running.

SPECIAL CASE: At programme start of
Cottons and Cotton Eco programmes, display
shows the duration of half load, which is the
most common use case. After programme
starts, in 20-25 minutes actual load is detected
by the machine. And if the detected load is
higher than half load; washing program will be
adjusted accordingly and program duration
increased automatically. You may follow this
change on the display.

4.3.3 Programmes

• Cottons

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

machine has been approved
by The Woolmark Company for
the washing of machine
washable wool products

provided that the products are
washed according to the instructions on the
garment label and those issued by the
manufacturer of this washing machine. M13985”

“In UK, Eire, Hong Kong and India the Woolmark
trade mark is a Certification trade mark.”

• Cottons Eco

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),
programme time may automatically get shorter.
In this case, energy and water consumption
will decrease more, providing a more economic
wash. This programme is available in the
models with the remaining time indicator.

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.

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

• Temperature of the water inside the
machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid
the burning risk, clean the filter after the
