6  Quick instructions for daily use 
						

							EN23
Detergent drawer
Remove 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 drum
After	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 
panel
When	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 filters
There 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 
7  Cleaning and care
After the program is finished
1.	 “Ready”	lamp	will	light	up	on	the	
program	follow-up	indicator.	Open	
the loading door and take out the 
clothes.
2.	 Press	the	“On/Off”	button.
3.  Turn the water tap off.
4. Eliminate any folding of the rubber 
seal on the loading door and check 
for impurities.
5. Leave the loading door and 
detergent drawer open to dry. 
						

							EN24
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 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.
•		 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: 
						

							EN25
•		 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	
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.

8  Troubleshooting 
						

							EN27
The water being taken in is directly discharged.
Improper position of the drain hose.Connect the water draining hose as described in the operation manual.
No water can be seen in the machine during washing.
This is not a problem. The water level is not visible from the outside of the machine.
The door is jammed.
Water level might be above the lower level of the door.Run	either	the	“Pump”	or	“Spin”	program.
Machine	might	be	heating	up the water or it may be at the spinning cycle.Wait until the process is over.
Due to electrical safety mechanism, the door can only be opened a few minutes after the program has stopped.
Wait until the process is over.
Machine	fills	with water when a process is cancelled.
Inside of machine may be hot.For safety reasons, water should be cycled in and out a couple times.
Washing time takes longer than the time specified in the manual
Water pressure may be low.
The machine will wait until there is a sufficient amount of water, which may lengthen the washing time to avoid poor washing results due to insufficient water.
Supply voltage may be low.Washing time is lengthened to avoid poor washing results when the supply voltage is low.
Input temperature of water may be low.
Cycle time lengthens to heat up the water when the input water is cold. Also, washing time can be lengthened to avoid poor washing results.
There may be an imbalance of laundry in the machine.
The automatic spin correction system might have been activated due to the unbalanced distribution of the laundry in the drum.The laundry in the drum may be clustered (bundled	laundry	in	a	bag).	Laundry	should	be	rearranged and re-spun.No spinning is performed when the laundry is not evenly distributed in the drum to prevent any damage to the machine and to its environment.
Number of rinses and/or amount of rinse water might have increased.
Water amount is increased to obtain a better rinse and a rinse cycle is added when necessary.
