Auxiliary functionsAuxiliary function selection keysSelect the required auxiliary functions before starting the program.
C Auxiliary function buttons may differ according to the model of your machine.
Auxiliary function selectionIf an auxiliary function that should not be selected together with a previously selected function is chosen, the first selected function will be cancelled and the last auxiliary function selection will remain active.For example: If you want to select pre-wash first and then quick wash, pre-wash will be cancelled and quick wash will remain active.Auxiliary function that is not compatible with the program cannot be selected. (see “Program Selection Table”)
Pre-washA pre-wash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled laundry. Without pre-wash you save energy, water, detergent and time.
C Pre-wash without detergent is recommended for lace and curtains. Less detergent should be put in the main wash compartment as loose knit fabrics (lace) foam too much due to its meshed structure.Quick washThis function can be used for cottons and synthetics programs. It decreases the washing times for lightly soiled laundries and also the number of rinsing steps. Shortens the program time approximately 45 minutes.Extra rinseWith this function, you can increase the number of current rinsing steps. Thus, 
sensitive skins’ risk of being affected by the remainder detergent on the clothes will be decreased.Rinse holdIf you do not want to unload your clothes immediately after the cotton, synthetics, woolen and delicate fabrics program, you may release your clothes inside the machine in the last rinsing 
water by pressing the rinse hold button in order to prevent your clothes become wrinkled. You can spin by pressing "Start/Pause/Cancel" button after this process.Anti-creasingThis function reduces drum movement and limits the spinning speed to prevent creasing. In addition, washing is carried out at a higher water level. 
C Use this function for delicate laundries that crease easily.
C Whenever you select this auxiliary function, load your machine with half of the maximum laundry specified in the program table.Reducing SpeedYou may use the speed reduction button whenever you wish to spin your clothes below the maximum spin speed. When speed reduction button is pressed, spin speed will be at the minimum rpm given on the panel.No spinYou may use this program if you do not want to spin your clothes at the end of cottons, synthetics, woolen or delicate programs.
Time delayApplies for models with time delay functionIf you wish to wash your clothes at a later time, with the time delay function you can delay the program start up 3 hours, 6 hours or 9 hours.

Detergent drawerRemove any powder residue buildup in 
the drawer. To do this;
1.  Press the dotted point on the siphon 
in the softener compartment and pull towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
C If more than a normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.
2.  Wash the dispenser drawer and the 
siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching the residues in the drawer when cleaning.
3.  Replace the drawer into its housing 
after cleaning.  Check if the siphon is in its original location.
The door and the drumAfter each wash:
•  Check if there are any foreign 
substances in the drum.
•  Open the hole in the bellow with the 
aid of a toothpick if it is clogged.
C Foreign metal substances in your 
machine can cause rust stains. In 
such cases:
  Clean the drum with a stainless steel 
cleaning agent. Never use steel wool or wire wool.
Outer cabinet and control 
panelWhen necessary:
•  Wipe the exterior panels of your 
machine with soapy water or mild detergent. Dry it with a soft cloth.
•  Use only a soft and damp cloth to 
clean the control panel.
C  Never use a sponge or scrubbing material. These will damage the painted and plastic parts.
Inlet water filtersThere is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the back side of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent the foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter into the machine. Filters should be cleaned as they get dirty.
•  Close the taps.
•  Remove the nuts of the water intake 
hoses to clean the surfaces of the filters on the water intake valves with an appropriate brush.
•  If the filters are very dirty, you can 
pull them out by means of pliers and clean them.
•  Take out the filters on the flat ends of 
the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly

under streaming water.
•  Replace the gaskets and filters 
carefully and tighten the hose nuts by hand.
Draining any remaining water 
and cleaning the pump filterFilter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump propeller during discharging of the washing water. Thus, a good water discharger is achieved and the pump life is extended.
•   If your machine fails to drain the 
water, the pump filter may be clogged. You may have to clean it every 2 years or whenever it is blocked plugged. Water must be drained off to clean the pump filter. In addition, water may have to be drained off completely in the following cases:
•   before transporting the machine (e.g. 
when moving house)
•   when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water;1- Disconnect or unplug the machine from the power supply.
A There may be water at 90°C in the machine. Therefore, the filter must be cleaned only after the inside water is cooled down to avoid hazard of scalding.
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be composed of one or two pieces according to the model of your machine.If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it from both sides and open it by pulling out.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with some of our models. Others are not supplied with this item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:
•   Pull out the pump outlet hose from its 
housing.
•   Place a large container at the end of 
the hose. Drain the water off into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. If the amount of water to be drained off is greater than the volume of the container, replace the plug, pour the water out, then resume the draining process.
•   After draining process is completed, 
replace the plug into the end of the hose and fit the hose back into its place.
If your product is not supplied with an emergency drain hose, do the following as shown in the figure below:
•   Place a large container in front of the 
 
						

							
25    EN

filter to receive water flowing from the filter.
•   Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) 
until water starts to flow out of it. Direct the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. You can use a piece of cloth to absorb any spilled water.
•   When there is no water left, turn the 
pump filter until it is completely loose and remove it.
•   Clean any residues inside the filter 
as well as fibers, if any, around the propeller region.
•   If your product has a water jet feature, 
be sure to fit the filter into its housing in the pump. Never force the filter while replacing it into its housing. Fit the filter fully into its housing; otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.
4- Close the filter cap.Close the two-piece filter cap of your product by pushing the tab on it.
Close the one-piece filter cap of your product by fitting the tabs on the bottom into their positions and pushing the upper part of it.
