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.

it as illustrated. After performing the above
mentioned cleaning procedures, replace
the siphon back to its seating and push
its front section downwards to make sure
that the locking tab engages.
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.

15
EN
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 completely.
AForeign 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:
Unplugthemachinetocutoffthesupplypower.
ATemperature 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.
Openthefiltercap.

above procedure to drain the water in the machine
completely. When draining of water is finished,
close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in
its place. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
Dischargingthewaterwhentheproductdoesnot
have an emergency draining hose:
Place a large container in front of the filter to
catch water from the filter. 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. When the water
inside the machine is finished, take out the filter
completely by turning it. Clean any residues inside
the filter as well as fibers, if any, around the pump
impellerregion.Installthefilter.
A Ifyourproducthasawaterjetfeature,be
