Auxiliary function selection
Use the following auxiliary functions according to your daily needs. Select the desired auxiliary functions before starting the programme. Furthermore, you may also select or cancel auxiliary functions that are suitable to the running programme without pressing the Start / Pause button when the machine is operating. For this, the machine must be in a step before the auxiliary function you are going to select or cancel.
If the auxiliary function cannot be selected or canceled, light of the relevant auxiliary function will blink 3 times to warn the user.
C Some functions cannot be selected together. For example, Prewash and Quick Wash.
C If a second auxiliary function conflicting with the first one is selected before starting the machine, the function selected first will be canceled and the second auxiliary function selection will remain active. For example, if you want to select Quick Wash after you have selected the Prewash, Prewash will be canceled and Quick Wash will remain active.
C An auxiliary function that is not compatible with the programme cannot be selected. (See "Programme and consumption table")
C Auxiliary Function buttons may vary according to the model of the machine.
• Prewash
A Prewash is only worthwhile for heavily soiled laundry. Not using the Prewash will save energy, water, detergent and time.
C Prewash without detergent is recommended for tulle and curtains.
• Quicker Wash/ Quick Wash 
This function can be used in Cottons and Synthetics programmes. It decreases the washing times and also the number of rinsing steps for lightly soiled laundry.
C When you select this function, load your machine with half of the maximum laundry specified in the programme table.
• Extra Rinse
This function enables the machine to make another rinsing in addition to the one already made after the main wash. Thus, the risk for sensitive skins (babies, allergic skins, etc.) to be effected by the minimal detergent remnants on the laundry can be reduced.
• Anti- Crease
This function creases the clothes lesser when they are being washed. Drum movement is reduced and spinning speed is limited to prevent creasing. In addition, washing is done with a higher water level. Use this function for delicate laundry that creases easily.
• Rinse Hold
If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after the programme completes, you may use rinse hold function to keep your laundry in the final rinsing water in order to prevent them from getting wrinkled when there is no water in the machine. Press Start / Pause button after this process if you want to drain the water without spinning your laundry. Programme will resume and complete after draining the water.
If you want to spin the laundry held in water, adjust the Spin Speed and press Start / Pause button.
The programme resumes. Water is drained, laundry is spun and the programme is completed.
• Soaking
The Soaking auxiliary function ensures better removal of stains ingrained into the clothes by holding them in the detergent water prior to startup of the programme.
• Pet hair removal
This function helps to remove pet hair that remain on your garments more effectively.
When you select this function, Prewash and Extra Rinse steps are added to the normal programme. Thus, washing is performed with more water (30%) and the pet hair is removed more effectively.
A Never wash your pets in the washing machine.

6 Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of the product extends and frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
Cleaning the detergent drawer
Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals (every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below in order to prevent accumulation of powder detergent in time.
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 normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.
2.  Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use an appropriate brush to avoid touching of the residues in the drawer with your skin when cleaning.
3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.
Cleaning the loading 
door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well. Before starting the programme, put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent compartment 
(compartment nr. II). If the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into 
compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end. 
C Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
C Use an anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines. 
After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
C Foreign metal substances in your machine will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the drum surface by 
using cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire wool.
Cleaning the body 
and control panel
Wipe the body of the machine with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents as necessary, and dry with a soft cloth.
Use only a soft and damp cloth to clean the control panel.
A Never use sponge or scrub materials. These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.
Cleaning the water intake filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the machine and also at the end of each water intake hose where they are connected to the tap. These filters prevent foreign substances and dirt in the water to enter the washing machine. Filters should be   
						

							29EN
cleaned as they do get dirty.
1. Close the taps.
2. Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to access the filters on the water intake valves. Clean them with an appropriate brush. If the filters are too dirty, take them out by means of pliers and clean them.
3. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.
4. Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.
Draining remaining water and 
cleaning the pump filter
The filter system in your machine prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller during discharge of washing water. Thus, the water will be discharged without any problem and the service life of the pump will extend.
If the machine fails to drain water, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or in every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.
In addition, prior to transporting the machine (eg., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.
A Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:
1.  Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid burning risk, filter must be cleaned after the water in the machine cools down.
2.  Open the filter cap.
 If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out towards yourself.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at the top to open.
C You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools to remove the cover.
3.  Some of our products have emergency draining hose and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.
Discharging the water when the product has an emergency draining hose:  
						

							30EN
a. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
b. Place a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.
c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
Discharging the water when the product does not have an emergency draining hose:
a. Place a large container in front of the filter to catch water from the filter.
b. Loosen pump filter (anticlockwise) until water starts to flow. Fill the flowing water into the container you have placed in front of the filter. Always keep a piece of cloth handy to absorb any spilled water.
c. When the water inside the machine is finished, take out the filter completely by turning it.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Install the filter.
A 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 installing it into its housing. Seat the filter into its place completely. Otherwise, water may leak from the filter cap.
6.  If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, close the filter cap by pressing on the tab. If it is one piece, seat the tabs in the lower part into their places first, and then press the upper part to close.
