Changing the selections after

programme has started

To change your settings after the program has

started, you have to switch the machine to Pause

mode first.

C

Even if you select a new program by changing

the position of the Programme Selection knob

while the machine is running or in Pause mode,

the programme selected first will continue. You

must cancel the current programme to change

the washing programme. See "Canceling the

programme".

Changing the auxiliary function, speed and

temperature

Depending on the step the programme has reached,

you can cancel or activate the auxiliary functions;

see, "Auxiliary function selection".

You can also change the speed and temperature

settings; see, "Spin speed selection" and

"Temperature selection".

Adding or taking out laundry

Press Start / Pause / Cancel button to switch the

machine to pause mode. Wait until the Loading Door

can be opened.

If the Loading Door light does not turn

on in 1-2 minutes, it means that the water level in

the machine is not suitable and laundry cannot be

added. You can resume the programme by pressing

Start / Pause / Cancel button. Open the Loading

Door and add or take out the laundry. Close the

Loading Door. Make changes in auxiliary functions,

temperature and speed settings if necessary. Press

Start / Pause / Cancel button to start the machine.

Canceling the programme

Press and hold Start / Pause / Cancel button for 3

seconds to cancel the current programme. At the

end of this period, machine can drain the water inside

it or can take in and drain water up to 3 times to cool

down the laundry. Washing and End lights turn on.

Once draining is complete, Start / Pause / Cancel

and Washing lights turn off, and Loading Door light

starts flashing.

When the Loading Door is openable, Loading Door

light turns on and remains lit. In this case, you can

select and start the new programme.

End of programme

light up once the programme comes to an end.

Press On / Off button to switch off the machine. Take

out your laundry and close the loading door. Your

machine is ready for the next washing cycle.

5 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.

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.

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. Insert the drawer back into its

place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated

well.

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 cleaned as they do get dirty.

Close the taps. 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. Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water

intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean

thoroughly under running water. 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
