Washing Machine / User’s Manual

2.4 Connecting water supply

The water supply pressure required to run the product is
between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to

C

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 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.)

warning: Models with a single water inlet should not be

connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry

A

will get damaged or the product will switch to protection
mode and will not operate.

warning: Do not use old or used water inlet 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.

warning: Ensure that the cold and hot water connections

are made correctly when installing the product.

A

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 tool 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

out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there

A

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.

• 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.

100cm

40cm

• 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 do not 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.

3.1 Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to type of fabric, colour, and
degree of soiling and allowable water temperature.

• Always obey the instructions given on the garment tags.

3.2 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.

• 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.

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.

• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.

• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer
for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling.

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.

daily needs. Select the desired auxiliary functions before
starting the programme. Furthermore, you may also select
or cancel auxiliary functions that are suitable to the running
programme without pressing the Start / Pause button when
the machine is operating. For this, the machine must be in
a step before the auxiliary function you are going to select
or cancel.
If the auxiliary function cannot be selected or canceled, light
of the relevant auxiliary function will blink 3 times to warn
the user.

Some functions cannot be selected together. If a second
auxiliary function conflicting with the first one is selected

C

before starting the machine, the function selected first will
be canceled and the second auxiliary function selection
will remain active. For example, if you want to select Quick
Wash after you have selected the Prewash, Prewash will
be canceled and Quick Wash will remain active.

An auxiliary function that is not compatible with the
programme cannot be selected. (See “Programme and

C

consumption table”)

Auxiliary Function buttons may vary according to the
model of the machine.

C

• Prewash

A Prewash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled laundry. Not
using the Prewash will save energy, water, detergent and
time.

Prewash without detergent is recommended for tulle
and curtains.

C

• Quick Wash

This function can be used in Cottons and Synthetics
programmes. It decreases the washing times and also the
number of rinsing steps for lightly soiled laundry.

When you select this function, load your machine with
half of the maximum laundry specified in the programme

C

table.

• Rinse Plus

This function enables the machine to make another rinsing
in addition to the one already made after the main wash.
Thus, the risk for sensitive skins (babies, allergic skins, etc.)
to be effected by the minimal detergent remnants on the
laundry can be reduced.

• Anti-Creasing

This function creases the clothes lesser when they are being
washed. Drum movement is reduced and spinning speed is
limited to prevent creasing. In addition, washing is done with
a higher water level. Use this function for delicate laundry
that creases easily.

• Rinse Hold

If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after
the programme completes, you may use rinse hold function
to keep your laundry in the final rinsing water in order to
prevent them from getting wrinkled when there is no water
in the machine. Press Start / Pause button after this process
if you want to drain the water without spinning your laundry.
Programme will resume and complete after draining the
water.

13 / EN

If you want to spin the laundry held in water, adjust the Spin
Speed and press Start / Pause button.
The programme resumes. Water is drained, laundry is spun
and the programme is completed.

• Pet hair removal

This function helps to remove pet hair that remain on your
garments more effectively.
When you select this function, Prewash and Extra Rinse
steps are added to the normal programme. Thus, washing
is performed with more water (30%) and the pet hair is
removed more effectively.

Never wash your pets in the washing machine.

5 Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and frequently faced
problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.

5.1 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.

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 and softener
mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the

C

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.

5.2 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

programme. If your machine is not featured with

Cleaning
Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme

and select
functions as well. Run the programme without any laundry in
the machine. Before starting the programme, put max. 100
g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment (compartment nr. 2). If the anti-limescale is in
tablet form, put only one tablet into compartment nr. 2. Dry
the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the
programme has come to an end.

5.3 Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non­corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a
soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.

5.4 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.

5.5 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 freezing of the
water, water may have to be drained completely.

warning: Foreign substances left in the pump filter may

damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
