13EN 4 Preparation Things to be done for energy saving Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy- efficient manner. • Operate the product in the highest capacity allowed by the programme you have selected, but do not overload; see, “Programme and consumption table”. • Always follow the instructions on the detergent packaging. • Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures. • Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry. • Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained. • If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process. • Do not use detergent in excess of the amount recommended on the detergent package. 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. Washing water temperature Bleach can be used Suitable for drier Wash with sensitive, .short programmes Do not use bleach Do not dry with drier Hang without spinning Can be ironed with hot iron Non machine-washable Do not wash Dry-cleanable Do not dry-clean Dry horizontally Dry on a hanger Can be ironed with warm iron Do not iron 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.
14EN • 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. • Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove 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. • Laundry that are subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. intensely must be shaken off before placing into the machine. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the machine in time and can cause damage. Correct load capacity The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired. The machine automatically adjusts the amount of water according to the weight of the loaded laundry. A Follow the information in the “Programme and consumption table”. When overloaded, machine’s washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur. Laundry types and their average weights in the following table are given as examples. Laundry type Weight (g) Bathrobe 1200 Napkin 100 Duvet cover 700 Bed Sheet 500 Pillowcase 200 Tablecloth 250 Towel 200 Hand towel 100 Evening gown 200 Underclothing 100 Men’s overalls 600 Men’s shirt 200 Men’s pajamas 500 Blouses 100 Loading the laundry • Open the loading door. • Place laundry items loosely into the machine. • Push the loading door to close until you hear a locking sound.

A In case of misplacing the laundry, noise and vibration problems may occur in the machine.
15EN Using detergent and softener Detergent Drawer The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments: - (I) for prewash - (II) for main wash – (III) for softener – (*) in addition, there is siphon piece in the softener compartment. C The detergent dispenser may be in two different types according to the model of your machine as seen above. Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents • Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme. • Never open the detergent drawer while the washing programme is running! • When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I). • In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. I). • Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the machine. • If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent cup into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II). Choosing the detergent type The type of detergent to be used depends on the type and colour of the fabric. • Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry. • Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) used solely for delicate clothes. • When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent. • Wash woolens with special detergent made specifically for woolens. A Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines. A Do not use soap powder. Adjusting detergent amount The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness. Read the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values. • Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, financial savings and finally, environmental protection. • Use lesser detergent for small amounts or lightly soiled clothes. • Use concentrated detergents in the recommended dosage. Using softeners Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer. • Use the dosages recommended on the package. • Do not exceed the (>max
16EN If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup: • Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash. • Use the detergent manufacturer’s measuring cup and follow the instructions on the package. • Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with Delayed Start function. If you are going to use the Delayed Start function, do not use liquid detergent. Using gel and tablet detergent When using tablet, gel, etc. detergents, read the manufacturer’s instructions on the detergent package carefully and follow the dosage values. If there is not any instruction on the package, apply the following. • If the gel detergent thickness is fluidal and your machine does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your machine contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme. • If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing. • Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. II) or directly into the drum before washing. C Tablet detergents may leave residues in the detergent compartment. If you encounter such a case, place the tablet detergent between the laundry, close to the lower part of the drum in future washings. C Use the tablet or gel detergent without selecting the prewash function. Using starch • Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment as instructed on the package. • Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle. • Wipe the inside of the machine with a damp and clean cloth after using starch. Using bleaches • Select a programme with prewash and add the bleaching agent at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the machine is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step. • Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them. • Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation. Do not pour the bleaching agent onto the clothes and do not use it for coloured clothes. • When using oxygen based bleaches, follow the instructions on the package and select a programme that washes at a lower temperature. • Oxygen based bleaches can be used together with detergents; however, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. “II” in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the machine is taking in water. Add the bleaching agent from the same compartment while the machine is still taking in water. Using limescale remover • When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only. • Always follow instructions on the package.

19EN Preparing the machine 1. Make sure that the hoses are connected tightly. 2. Plug in your machine. 3. Turn the tap on completely. 4. Place the laundry in the machine. 5. Add detergent and fabric softener. Programme selection 1. Select the programme suitable for the type, quantity and soiling degree of the laundry in accordance with the "Programme and consumption table" and the temperature table below. 90˚C Heavily soiled white cottons and linens. (coffee table covers, tableclothes, towels, bed sheets, etc.) 60˚C Normally soiled, coloured, fade proof cottons or synthetic clothes (shirt, nightgown, pajamas, etc.) and lightly soiled white linens (underwear, etc.) 40˚C- 30˚C- Cold Blended laundry including delicate textile (veil curtains, etc.), synthetics and woolens. 2. Select the desired programme with the Programme Selection button. C Programmes are limited with the highest spin speed appropriate for that particular type of fabric. C When selecting a programme, always consider the type of fabric, colour, degree of soiling and permissible water temperature. C Always select the lowest required temperature. Higher temperature means higher power consumption. C For further programme details, see "Programme and consumption table". Main programmes Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes. • Cottons You may wash your normally soiled durable cotton and linen laundry in this programme with the highest energy and water saving compared to all other wash programmes suitable for cottons. Actual water temperature may differ from the declared cycle temperature. Programme duration may automatically be shortened during later stages of the programme if you wash less amount (e.g. ½ capacity or less) of laundry. In this case energy and water consumption will be further decreased giving you the opportunity for a more economical wash. This feature is available for certain models having remaining time display. • 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 function 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. • Woollens Use this programme to wash your woolen clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tags of your clothes. Use appropriate detergents for woolens. Additional programmes For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine. C Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine. • Delicates 30 Use this programme to wash your delicate clothes. It washes with a gentle action without any interim spin compared to the Synthetics programme. • Hand Wash Use this programme to wash your woolen/ delicate clothes that bear “not machine- washable” tags and for which hand wash is recommended. It washes laundry with a very gentle washing action to not to damage clothes. • Mini 30 Use this programme to wash your little amount of lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time (30 minutes). • A Class 40 Use this programme to wash your laundry for which you cannot use Cottons 60 °C
20EN programme. It gives the same result with the Cottons 60 °C programme by washing for a longer time at 40 °C, thus enabling energy saving. Special programmes For specific applications, select any of the following programmes. • Rinse Use this programme when you want to rinse or starch separately. • Spin+Drain Use this programme to apply an additional spin cycle for your laundry or to drain the water in the machine. Before selecting this programme, select the desired spin speed and press Start / Pause / Cancel button. First, the machine will drain the water inside of it.
