EN11 Sorting the laundry • Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, and degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. Always follow the advice on the garment labels. Preparing clothes for washing Laundry items with metal attachments such as, bras, belt buckles and metal buttons will damage the machine. Remove metal attachments or place the items in a clothing bag, pillow case, or something similar. • Empty pockets and remove all foreign objects such as coins, pens and paper clips. If possible, turn pockets out and brush. • Place small items like infants’ socks and nylon stockings, etc. in a laundry bag, pillow case or something similar. This will also save your laundry from getting lost. • Place curtains in the machine with care. Remove curtain rails and pullers. • Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears. • Wash “machine washable” or “hand washable” labelled products only with an appropriate program. • Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons may release a lot of dye. Wash them separately. • Tough stains must be treated properly before washing. If you are not sure, check with a dry cleaner. • Use only dyes/colour changers and lime removers suitable for machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the packaging. • Wash trousers and delicate clothes turned inside out. • Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This will reduce pilling. Correct load capacity • The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing program you wish to use. C The machine adjusts the amount of water according to the amount of laundry placed inside. C Please follow the information in the "Program Selection Table". Washing results will degrade when the machine is overloaded.

The door can be opened after some time following the program end. • Open the door. • Place laundry items loosely in the machine. • Push the door until it clicks into place tightly. Ensure that no items are caught in the door. Detergents and softeners Detergent drawer The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments: The detergent dispenser may be in two different types according to the model of your machine. - (I) for prewash - (II) for main wash - (III) siphon – () for softener Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents Add detergent and softener before starting the washing program. Never open the detergent dispenser drawer while the washing program is running! When using a program without pre- wash, no detergent should be put into the pre-wash compartment (Compartment no. I). A program without pre-wash should not be selected if a detergent bag or a dispensing ball is going to be used. You can place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in your machine. Choosing the detergent type The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of fabric. • Use different detergents for coloured and white clothes. • Wash woolens with a special detergent specifically for woolens. • Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines. Detergent quantity The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness. • Do not use amounts exceeding the quantities recommended on the package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection. • Use small amounts of detergent at a suitable measure for small amounts of laundry or for only slightly soiled laundry. • Use exact measures for highly concentrated detergents.

When the “On/ Off” button is pressed, the “Lid” light illuminates indicating that the door is unlocked. Press the “On/Off” button again to shut down the machine. C Pressing the “On/Off” button does not necessarily mean that the program has started. Press "Start/ Pause/Cancel" button to start the program. Program selection Select the appropriate program from the program table and the following washing temperature table according to type, amount and degree of soiling of the laundry. Select the desired program with the program selection button. C Each of these main programmes comprise of a complete washing process, including washing, rinsing and, if required, spin cycles. 90˚C Normally soiled, white cottons and linens. (Ex.: coffee table covers, tablecloths, towels, bed sheets) 60˚C Normally soiled, fade proof colored linens, cottons or synthetic clothes (Ex.: shirts, nightgowns, pajamas) and lightly soiled white linen clothes (Ex.: underwear) 40˚C- 30°C- Cold For delicate clothes (Ex.: lace curtains), blended clothes including synthetics and woolens. C Programs are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of cloth. C Sort the laundry according to type of fabric, color, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature when choosing a program. C Always select the lowest required temperature. Higher temperature means higher power consumption. C For further program details, see, “Program Selection Table” Main programs Depending on the type of textile, the following main programs are available: •Cottons You can wash your durable clothes with this program. Washes with vigorous washing movements in a longer washing cycle. It is recommended for your cotton items (such as bed sheets, duvet and pillowcase sets, bathrobes, underclothing, etc.). •Synthetics You can wash your less durable clothes on this program. Washes with gentler washing movements and in shorter washing cycles. It is recommended for your synthetic clothes (such as shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blended garments, etc.). For curtains and lace, using the “Synthetic 40” program with pre-wash and anti-creasing functions selected is recommended. Detergent should not be put in the pre-wash compartment. Less detergent should be put in the main wash compartment as loose knit fabrics (lace) foam too much due to its meshed structure. •Delicates You can wash your delicate clothes on this program. It has more sensitive washing movements and does not make intermediate spinning compared to the synthetic program. It must be used for clothes for which sensitive washing is recommended. •Woollens You can wash your machine-washable woolen garments on this program. Wash by selecting the proper temperature according to the labels of your clothes. It is recommended to use appropriate detergents for woolens. •Hand Wash You can wash your woolen/delicate
EN16 clothes that bear “not machine- washable” labels for which hand wash is recommended on this program. It washes the laundry with very tender washing movements without damaging your clothes. Additional programs For special cases, there are also extra programs available: C Additional programs may differ according to the features of your machine. • A Class 40 This program washes for a longer period at 40°C and gives the same result as the “Cottons 60°C” program, thus it saves energy. It is suitable for clothes for which you cannot use the “Cottons 60 °C” program. • Mini This program is used to quickly wash (30 minutes) a small amount of lightly soiled cotton garments. Special programs For specific applications, you can select any of the following programs: • Rinse This program is used when you want to rinse or starch separately. • Pump+spin This program spins with maximum possible rpm in the default setting after the water drains from the machine. C You should use a lower spin speed for delicate laundries. Spin Speed selection You can have your clothes spin at the maximum rpm selection on your machine by using the selection knob in models equipped with an rpm selection knob. In order to protect your clothes, your machine will not spin above 800 rpm on synthetic programs and 600 rpm on woolens program. Furthermore, if you want to skip the spin cycle and take your clothes out, turn the rpm selection knob to “no spin” position. In machines not equipped with a spin speed selection knob, the machine will spin in the maximum possible rpm in the default setting of the selected program.

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. Extra Rinse 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. Rinse hold If 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. After this process you may spin your laundry by pressing “Start/ Pause/Cancel” button or you may end the program by pressing “Start/Pause/ Cancel” button for 3 sec. • In the machines equipped with spin speed selection knob or button, you can spin by selecting the desired spin speed and press “Start/Pause/ Cancel” button. • As for machines not equipped with a spin speed selection knob, you can end the program without a spin cycle by pressing the “Start/ Pause/Cancel” button and draining the water. If you wish your clothes be spun, you can spin them by selecting “pump+spin” program. Spin speed reduction You 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.
