MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
•
Unplug your machine.
•
Close the water tap.
WATER INLET FILTERS
On the tap part of your machine’s water inlet hose and at the extremities of
the water inlet valves, there are filters to prevent entrance of dirt and foreign
bodies into the water to the machine. If the machine is unable to receive
sufficient water although your water tap is opened, these filters should be
cleaned.
•
Remove the water inlet hose.
•
Remove the filters found on the water inlet valves by using tweezers
or pliers and wash thoroughly with a brush.
•
Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses located on the tap side by
removing manually, together with the seal.
•
After cleaning the filters, they can be refitted by reversing the removal procedure.
PUMP FILTER
The pump filter system prolongs the life of your pump, which is used to drain
the dirty water. It prevents lint from entering the pump. Cleaning your pump
filter every 2-3 months is recommended. To clean your pump filter:
•
Remove the kickplate by pushing upwards with your hand from the
lower claws and pulling towards yourself.
•
Before opening the filter cover, place a cup in front of the filter cover
to prevent flow of the remaining water in the machine.
•
Loosen the filter cover by turning counter clockwise and drain the
water.
•
Remove the foreign bodies from the filter.
•
Check for the rotation of the pump manually.
•
After you have cleaned the pump, refit the filter cover by rotating
clockwise.
•
Refit the kickplate by holding from the claws and pushing it.
•
Do not forget that if the filter cover is not properly refitted, it will leak
water.

WARNING!
Danger of scalding!
Since the water inside the pump maybe hot, wait for it to cool.
DETERGENT DRAWER
Detergents may cause residue build-up in the detergent drawer and its slot
over time. Take out the detergent drawer periodically to clean away the
accumulated residue. To remove the drawer, proceed as follows:
•
Pull the drawer to its end (DIAGRAM-1).
•
Keep pulling by pressing on the siphon lid inside the drawer which is
fully pulled to its end, and remove the drawer from its place
(DIAGRAM-2).
•
Wash it by rinsing with water and cleaning with an old toothbrush.
•
Collect the residue inside the drawer slot without letting it drop into
the machine.
•
After thoroughly drying the drawer, refit by reversing the removal
procedure.

THE CABINET
To clean the outside of the appliance, use a neutral detergent and a damp
cloth. Please be careful not to use material that could damage the exterior
surface of your machine.
WARNING!
If the machine is installed in a location where the ambient temperature can fall
below 0 Û&SURFHHGDVIROORZVZKHQQRWLQXVH
•
Plug in the machine.
•
Close the water tap and pull out the water inlet hose or hoses from
the tap.
•
Place the ends of the water drain and water inlet hoses in a cup on
the ground.
•
Adjust the programme knob to “Draining” programme.
•
The programme ready light will be on.
•
Run the programme by pressing the start/pause button.
•
Unplug your machine when the programme is over (programme end
light is on).
When this process is completed, the remaining water inside the machine will
be drained and thus formation of ice in the machine will be prevented. When
you operate your machine again, be sure that the ambient temperature is
above 0 Û&
THE DRUM
Do not leave metal parts such as needles, staples or coins inside your
machine. These pieces cause rust stains to form inside the drum. To
eliminate these rust stains, use a non-chlorine cleaning agent and follow the
warnings of the cleaning agent producer. Never use dish-washing scourers or
similar abrasive objects to clean rust stains.
REMOVE OF LIME FROM YOUR MACHINE
If you regulate the amount of detergent used in your machine properly, there
will be no need for lime removal. However, if you desire to apply the removal
procedure, use lime protectors readily available on the market and pay
attention to their warnings.
WARNING!
The lime-eliminating substances contain acids and this may cause colour
modifications in your clothes along with an adverse effect on your machine.
