Main programs Depending	on	the	type	of	textile,	the	following	
main	programs	are	available:
• Katoen (Cottons)
You	can	wash	your	durable	clothes	with	this	
program.	Your	laundry	will	be	washed	with	
vigorous	washing	movements	during	a	longer	
washing	 cycle.	It	is	 recommended	 for	your	 cotton	
items	(such	as	bed	sheets,	duvet	and	pillowcase	
sets,	bathrobes,	underclothing,	etc.).
• Synthetisch (Synthetics)
You	can	wash	your	less	durable	clothes	on	this	
 
						

							32 - EN
program.	Gentler	washing	movements	and	a	
shorter	washing	cycle	is	used	compared	to	
the	“Cottons”	program.	It	is	recommended	for	
your	synthetic	clothes	(such	as	shirts,	blouses,	
synthetic/cotton	blended	garments,	etc.).	For	
curtains	and	lace,	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.
• Wol (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.	
Additional programs For	special	cases,	there	are	also	extra	programs	
available	
C	 Additional	programs	may	differ	according	to	the	model	of	your	machine.
• Katoen Eco (Cotton Economic)
You	may	wash	your	laundry	to	be	washed	in	
cottons	program	in	longer	periods	which	ensure	
very	good	washing	performance.
C	 Cottons	economy	program	consumes	 less	energy	compared	to	other	cottons	
programs.
• Babycare
Increased	hygiene	is	provided	by	a	longer	
heating	period	and	an	additional	rinse	cycle.	It	is	
recommended	 for	baby	 clothes	 and	clothes	 worn	
by	allergic	people.
• Hand wash
You	can	wash	your	woolen/delicate	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.
• Daily Express
This	program	is	used	to	quickly	wash	a	small	
number	of	lightly	soiled	cotton	garments.
• Donker Textiel (Darkcare)
Use	this	programme	to	wash	your	dark	coloured	
laundry,	or	the	coloured	laundry	that	you	do	not	
want	them	get	faded.	This	programme	washes	
your	laundry	with	low	mechanical	movements	
and	at	low	temperature.	We	recommend	you	to	
use	liquid	detergent	or	woolen	shampoo	for	dark	
coloured	laundry.	
• Mix 40
You	can	use	this	program	to	wash	cottons	and	
synthetics	together.	There	is	no	need	to	sort	
them.
Special programsFor	specific	applications,	select	any	of	the	
following	programs:
• Spoelen (Rinse)
This	program	is	used	when	you	want	to	rinse	or	
starch	separately.
• Centrifugeren+Pompen (Spin + Drain)
This	program	is	used	to	apply	an	additional	spin	
cycle	for	the	laundry	or	to	drain	the	water	in	the	
machine.
Before	selecting	this	program,	select	the	desired	
spin	sped	and	press	"Start/Pause"	button.	Your	
machine	 drains	the	water	 after	spinning	 at	the	 set	
spin	speed.
If	you	only	want	to	drain	the	water	without	
spinning	your	laundry,	select	“Spin	and	Pump”	
program,	and	then	select	no	spin	function	with	
spin	speed	selection	button.	Press	Start/Pause	
button.
C	 Use	a	lower	spin	speed	for	delicate	 laundries.

Auxiliary functionsAuxiliary Function Selection Buttons
Select	the	required	auxiliary	functions	before	
starting	the	program.	Furthermore,	you	may	
also	select	or	cancel	auxiliary	functions	that	are	
suitable	to	the	running	program	without	pressing	
the	"Start/Pause"	button.	To	select	or	cancel	
the	auxiliary	functions,	the	machine	must	be	at	
any	prior	stage	than	the	auxiliary	function	to	be	
selected	or	cancelled.	If	the	auxiliary	function	
cannot	be	selected	or	cancelled,	light	of	the	
relevant	auxiliary	function	will	blink	3	times	to	
warn	the	user.
C Some	combinations	cannot	be	selected	
together.	Ex.:	Pre-wash	and	Quick	Wash.	
Warning	light	of	the	selected	auxiliary	
function	will	light	up.
Auxiliary function selection
If	an	auxiliary	function	that	is	not	compatible	
with	the	previously	selected	auxiliary	function	
is	chosen,	the	function	selected	first	will	be	
cancelled	and	the	last	auxiliary	function	selection	
will	remain	active.
Ex.:	If	you	want	to	select	pre-wash	first	and	then	
quick	wash,	pre-wash	will	be	cancelled	and	
quick	wash	will	remain	active.
Auxiliary	function	that	is	not	compatible	with	the	
program	cannot	be	selected.	(see,	“Program	
Selection	Table”)
C Auxiliary	function	buttons	may	differ	
according	to	the	model	of	your	machine.
• Voorwas (Prewash)
A	pre-wash	is	only	worthwhile	for	heavily	soiled	
laundry.	Without	pre-wash	you	save	energy,	
water,	detergent	and	time.
C	 Pre-wash	without	detergent	is	 recommended	for	lace	and	curtains.
• Express Wassen (Quick Wash)
This	function	can	be	used	for	“Cottons”	and	
“Synthetics”	programs.	It	decreases	the	washing	
times	for	lightly	soiled	laundries	and	also	the	
number	of	rinsing	steps.
C	 Recommended	load	capacity	is	half	of	the	 maximum	load	capacity	of	the	selected	
program.
• Rinse Plus
This	function	enables	your	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	and	etc.)	to	
be	effected	by	the	minimal	detergent	remnants	
on	the	laundry	can	be	reduced.
• Anti-Creasing
With	this	function,	drum	movement	will	be	
lessened	to	prevent	creasing	and	spinning	speed	
is	limited.	In	addition,	washing	is	carried	out	at	a	
higher	water	level.
• Rinse Hold
If	you	are	not	going	to	unload	your	clothes	
immediately	after	the	program	completes,	you	 may	use	rinse	hold	function	and	keep	your	laundry	
in	the	final	rinsing	water	in	order	to	prevent	them	
become	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.	Program	resumes.	Your	machine	drains	
the	water	and	program	completes.
If	you	want	to	spin	your	laundry	that	you	left	in	
water:
-	Adjust	the	spin	speed.
-	Press	Start/Pause	button
Program	resumes.	Your	machine	drains	the	water,	
spins	the	laundry	and	program	completes.
• Soaking
In	case	of	selecting	the	auxiliary	function	for	
soaking,	your	laundry	will	be	kept	in	detergent	
water	before	the	washing	process	starts.	Hence,	
stains	that	ingrained	into	the	laundry	can	be	
removed	better.
Time delaying (in some models)If	you	wish	to	wash	your	clothes	at	a	later	time,	
with	the	time	delay	function	you	can	delay	the	
program	start	up	3	hours,	6	hours	or	9	hours.
Do	not	use	liquid	detergent	when	you	set	time	
delay.	There	is	the	risk	of	staining	of	the	clothes.
Open	the	loading	door,	place	the	laundry	inside	
and	fill	detergent	drawer.	Set	the	washing	
program,	temperature,	spin	speed	and,	if	required,	
the	auxiliary	functions.	When	the	time	delaying	
button	is	pressed	once,	a	3	hour	delay	is	selected	
and	the	relevant	led	lights.	When	the	same	button	
is	pressed	again,	6	hours;	and	if	pressed	once	
more,	9	hours	delay	will	be	selected.	If	the	time	
delaying	button	is	pressed	one	more	time,	time	
delaying	function	will	be	cancelled	(all	of	the	time	
delaying	lights	will	be	off).	Set	the	time	delay	as	
you	require.		Delayed	operation	of	the	selected	
program	is	started	by	pressing	the	"Start/Pause"	
button	after	selecting	the	time	delay.	Previous	time	
delaying	light	turns	off	and	next	time	delaying	light	
turns	on	after	every	3	hours.
C	 Laundry	may	be	loaded/unloaded	during	the	
time	delay	period.
Changing the delay timePress	the	time	delay	button.	The	time	changes	
with	steps	of	3	hours	each	time	you	press	the	
button	and	the	relevant	time	delaying	light	turns	
on.
Canceling the time delaySet	the	Time	Delay	to	zero	(all	time	delaying	lights	
are	off)	or	turn	the	Program	selection	knob	to	any	
program.	Thus,	the	time	delay	will	be	cancelled.	
The	“End/Cancel”	light	flashes	continuously.
Starting the ProgramPress	"Start/Pause"	button	to	start	the	program.	
Program	 follow-up	 lamp	showing	 the	startup	 of	the

indicator	to	show	that	the	machine	has	been	
switched	to	the	pause	mode.	Also,	when	the	
door	is	ready	to	be	opened,	"Door"	light	will	also	
illuminate	continuously	in	addition	to	the	program	
step	light.	If	necessary	conditions	to	open	the	
door	are	not	met,	the	"Door"	light	will	remain	off.	
Changing the speed and temperature 
settings for auxiliary functions
Auxiliary	functions	can	be	cancelled	or	selected,	
or	the	spin	speed	and	temperature	settings	can	
be	changed	in	accordance	with	the	step	the	
program	is	in.	If	the	change	can	not	be	made,	
relevant	light	will	flash	for	3	times.
Adding/removing laundry in pause mode
If	the	"Door"	light	flashes	while	the	machine	is	in	
pause	mode,	it	means	that	the	conditions	(low	
water	level,	etc.)	to	open	the	door	have	been	
met	and	the	period	of	approx.	1	or	2	minutes	to	
open	the	door	has	started.	“Door”	lamp	will	light	
up	continuously	when	the	door	is	unlocked.	Door	
can	be	opened	to	load	or	unload	the	laundry	
after	this	moment.	If	the	front	door	cannot	be	
opened	because	of	a	safety	reason	after	the	
machine	has	been	switched	to	the	pause	mode	
by	pressing	the	"Start/Pause"	button,	the	"Door"	
light	will	continue	to	remain	off.	Nevertheless,	the	
follow-up	light	of	the	relevant	program	in	which	 the	machine	was	taken	to	"Pause"	mode	will	flash.
Door lockThe	loading	door	can	be	opened	once	the	
“Door”	lamp	stops	flashing	and	starts	lighting	up	
continuously.

5 Maintenance and cleaning
Detergent DrawerRemove	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.	
3.	 Replace	the	drawer	into	its	housing	after	 cleaning.		Check	if	the	siphon	is	in	its	original	
location.
Inlet water filtersThere	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.
•	 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	to	 their	places	and	tighten	the	hose	nuts	by	
hand.
Draining any remaining water and 
cleaning the pump filter
Your	product	is	equipped	with	a	filter	system	
which	ensures	a	cleaner	water	discharge	that	
extends	pump	life	by	preventing	solid	items	such	
as	buttons,	coins	and	fabric	fibers	from	clogging	
the	pump	propeller	during	discharge	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	
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-	Unplug	the	machine	to	cut	off	the	supply	
power.
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

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.

6 Solution suggestions for problems
CauseExplanation / Suggestion
Program	cannot	be	started	or	selected.
•		 Machine	may	have	switched	to	self	
protection	mode	due	to	an	infrastructure	
problem	(such	as	line	voltage,	water	
pressure,	etc.). •		 Reset	your	machine	by	pressing	“Start/Pause/
Cancel”	button	for	3	seconds.	(see,	Canceling	
a	Program)
There	is	water	coming	from	the	bottom	of	the	machine.
•		 There	might	be	problems	with	hoses	or	the	pump	filter. •		 Be	sure	the	seals	of	the	water	inlet	hoses	are	
securely	fitted.
•		 Tightly	attach	the	drain	hose	to	the	tap.
•		 Make	sure	that	the	pump	filter	is	completely	 closed.
Machine	stopped	shortly	after	the	program	started.
•		 Machine	can	stop	temporarily	due	to	low	voltage. •		 It	will	resume	operating	when	the	voltage	is	
back	to	the	normal	level.
It	continuously	spins.	Remaining	time	does	not	count	down.	(For	models	with	a	display)
•		 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.
It	continuously	washes.	Remaining	time	does	not	count	down.	(For	models	with	a	display)
•		 In	the	case	of	a	paused	countdown	while	taking	
in	water:
•		 Timer	will	not	countdown	until	the	machine	is	 filled	with	the	correct	amount	of	water. •		 The	machine	will	wait	until	there	is	a	sufficient	
amount	of	water	to	avoid	poor	washing	results	due	
to	lack	of	water.	Then	the	timer	will	start	to	count	
down.
•		 In	the	case	of	a	paused	countdown	at	the	heating	step:
•		 Time	will	not	count	down	until	the	selected	 temperature	for	the	program	is	reached
•		 In	the	case	of	a	paused	countdown	at	the	 spinning	step:
•		 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.
There	is	foaming	over	the	detergent	drawer
•		 Too	much	detergent	was	used.	
•		 Mix	1	tablespoonful	softener	and	½	liter	water	and	pour	into	the	main	wash	compartment	of	the	
detergent	drawer.
