Auxiliary functions
Auxiliary function selection keys
•	 Desired	auxiliary	function	depending	on the program is selected.
•	 Some	combinations	cannot	be	 selected together.
•	 Warning	signal	on	the	selected	 auxiliary function will light up.
Auxiliary function buttons may differ 
according to the model of your machine.
Auxiliary function selection
If 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.
Auxiliary function that is not compatible 
with the program cannot be selected. 
(see,	“Program	Selection	Table”)
Pre-wash
A 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.
Rinse Plus
With 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.

by hand.
7  Cleaning and care
 
						

							EN24
Draining any remaining water 
and cleaning the pump filter
Filter 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,	
 
						

							EN25
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	 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.
