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 dirty. • Close the taps. 7 Cleaning and care
EN24 • 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. 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
EN25 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.
