have10–80litersofwaterflowingfromthefullyopen
tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly.
Attach a pressure reducing valve if water pressure is
higher.
Ifyouaregoingtousethedoublewater-inletproduct
as a single (cold) water-inlet unit, you must install the
suppliedstoppertothehotwatervalvebeforeoperating
the product. (Applies for the products supplied with a
blindstoppergroup.)
AWARNING: Models with a single water inlet should not
beconnectedtothehotwatertap.Insuchacasethe

comes out of its housing during water discharge.
Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing
temperatures! To prevent such situations and to ensure
smoothwaterintakeanddischargeofthemachine,fix
the end of the discharge hose tightly so that it cannot
come out.
• Thehoseshouldbeattachedtoaheightofatleast40

5.1 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.
Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated.

5.2 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. Run the programme without any laundry in the
machine.Beforestartingtheprogramme,putmax.100
g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash detergent
compartment(compartmentnr.2).Iftheanti-limescaleisin

AWARNING: Foreignsubstancesleftinthepump
filter may damage your machine or may cause noise
problem.
WARNING: Iftheproductisnotinuse,turnthetap
off, detach the supply hose and drain the water inside
themachineagainstanyfreezingpossibilityinthe
region of installation.
WARNING: After each use close the supply hose tap
of the product.
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water:
1 Unplugthemachinetocutoffthesupplypower.
AWARNING: Temperature of the water inside the

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:
a Pulltheemergencydraininghoseoutfromitsseat

Iftheholesonthebellowshowninthefigureisblocked,
open the holes using a toothpick.
CForeignmetalsubstanceswillcauseruststainsinthe

cleaning agents for stainless steel. Never use steel wool
or wire wool.
AWARNING: Neverusespongeorscrubmaterials.
These will damage the painted and plastic surfaces.
5.3 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.
5.4 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.
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.
5.5 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
