Installation

Your washing machine automatically detects the amount of laundry placed inside when selecting a program. While installing the product, before the first use, calibration should be done to ensure that the laundry amount is detected in the most accurate way. To do this, select the Drum Cleaning* program and cancel the spin function. Start the program without laundry. Wait for the program to finish, which will take about 15 minutes.
*The program name may vary depending on the model. For the appropriate program selection, review the program descriptions section.

• Preparation of the location and electrical, tap water and waste water installations at the place of installation is the customer's responsibility.
• Make sure that the water inlet and discharge hoses as well as the power cable are not folded, pinched or crushed while pushing the product into its place after installation or cleaning procedures.
• The manufacturer shall not be held liable for damages that may arise from procedures carried out by unauthorised persons.
• Prior to installation, visually check if the product has any defects on it. If so, do not have it installed. Damaged products cause risks for your safety.

Appropriate installation location

• Place the product on a hard and level floor. Do not put it onto a carpet with high pile or other similar surfaces.
• If the washing machine and dryer are placed on top of each other, their total weight –when loaded– amounts to 180 kilograms. Place the products on a solid and flat floor that has sufficient load carrying capacity!
• Do not place the product on the power cable.
• Do not install the product in environments where the temperature falls below 0 ºC.
• Leaving a gap at the sides of the machine is suggested to reduce vibration and noise
• On a raised floor, do not place the product next to the edge or on a platform.
• Do not place heat sources such as Hobs, Irons, Ovens, etc. on the washing machine and do not use them on the product.

Removing packaging reinforcement

Tilt the machine backwards to remove the packaging reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement that is attached to the ribbon. Do not attempt this operation alone, get help.

Removing the transportation locks

1. Loose all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
   
2. Remove the transport safety bolts by rocking them slightly.
   
3. Insert the plastic covers from the bag containing the user manual into the openings on the rear panel.
   

Remove the transportation safety bolts before operating the washing machine! Otherwise, the product will be damaged.

Keep the transportation safety bolts in a safe place to reuse when the washing machine needs to be moved again in the future.
Install the transport safety bolts in the reverse order of the disassembly procedure.
Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting the water supply

It is necessary to have 10 – 80 litres of water flowing from the fully open tap in one minute to have your machine run smoothly. Attach a pressure reducing valve if the water pressure is higher.

Models with a single water inlet should not be connected to the hot water tap. In such a case the laundry will get damaged or the product will switch to protection mode and will not operate.

1. Tighten the nuts of the hose by hand. Never use a tool when tightening the nuts.
   
2. When hose connection is completed, check whether there are no leak problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap and remove the nut. Retighten the nut carefully after checking the seal. In order to prevent the water leaks and resultant damages, keep the taps closed when you do not use the product.
   

Connecting the drain hose to the drain

• Attach the end of the drain hose directly to the waste water drain, lavatory or bathtub.

Your drain house will be flooded if the hose comes out of its housing during water discharge. Moreover, there is risk of scalding due to high washing temperatures! In order to prevent such situations and make sure that the machine performs water intake and discharge processes without any problem, fix the drain hose securely.

• Connect the drain hose to a minimum height of 40 cm and a maximum height of 100 cm.
• In case the drain hose is elevated after laying it on the floor level or close to the ground (less than 40 cm above the ground), water discharge becomes more difficult and the laundry may come out excessively wet. Therefore, follow the heights described in the figure.
  
• To prevent the waste water siphoning back into the machine again and to ensure easy drainage, do not immerse the end of the hose into the waste water or do not insert it into the drain for more than 15 cm. If it is too long, cut it short.
• The end of the hose should not be bent, it should not be stepped on and the hose must not be pinched between the drain and the machine.
• If the length of the hose is too short, add an original extension hose. Length of the hose may not be longer than 3.2 m. To avoid water leak failures, the connection between the extension hose and the drain hose of the product must be fitted well with an appropriate clamp as not to come off and/or leak.

Adjusting the feet

In order to ensure that the product operates more silently and vibration-free, it must stand level and balanced on its feet. Balance the machine by adjusting the feet. Otherwise, the product may move from its place and cause crushing and vibration problems.

Do not use any tools to loosen the lock nuts. Otherwise, they will get damaged.

1. Loosen the lock nuts on the feet by hand.
   
2. Adjust the feet until the product stands in a stable and balanced way.
3. Tighten all lock nuts by hand again.

Preparing laundry for washing

• Laundry items with metal attachments such as, underwiring, belt buckles or metal buttons will damage the product or break the glass door. Remove the metal pieces or wash the clothes by putting them in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Take out all substances in the pockets such as coins, pens and paper clips, and turn pockets inside out and brush. Such objects may damage the product or cause noise problem.
• Put small size clothes such as infant's socks and nylon stockings in a laundry bag or pillow case.
• Place curtains in without compressing them. Remove curtain attachment items.
• Fasten zippers, sew loose buttons and mend rips and tears.
• Wash "Machine washable" or "Hand washable" labelled products only with an appropriate programme.
• Do not wash colours and whites together. New, dark coloured cottons release a lot of dye. Wash them separately.
• Tough stains must be treated properly before washing.
• Only use the dyes / colour changers and descaling agents which are appropriate to machine wash. Always follow the instructions on the package.
• Wash trousers and delicate laundry turned inside out.
• Keep laundry items made of Angora wool in a plastic bag in the freezer for a few hours before washing. This can reduce piling.
• Laundry that is subjected to materials such as flour, lime dust, milk powder, etc. must be shaken off before placing into the product. Such dusts and powders on the laundry may build up on the inner parts of the product in time and can cause damage.

Tips for energy and water saving

Following information will help you use the product in an ecological and energy/waterefficient manner.

• Operate the product in the highest load capacity allowed for the programme you have selected, but do not overload. See „Programme and consumption table".
• Observe the temperature instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Wash slightly soiled laundry at low temperatures.
• Use faster programmes for small quantities of lightly soiled laundry.
• Do not use prewash and high temperatures for laundry that is not heavily soiled or stained.
• If you plan to dry your laundry in a dryer, select the highest spin speed recommended during washing process.
• Do not use more detergent than the recommended on the detergent packaging.

Loading the laundry

1. Open the loading door.
2. Put the laundry items into the product, do not pack tightly.
3. Push and close the loading door until you hear the locking sound. Ensure that no items are caught in the door. The loading door is locked while a programme is running. The door can only be opened a while after the programme comes to an end. Then you can open the loading door.

Correct load capacity

The maximum load capacity depends on the type of laundry, the degree of soiling and the washing programme desired.
The product automatically adjusts the water amount according to the weight of the laundry put inside it.

Comply with the information in the section "Programme and consumption table". When overloaded, the washing performance will drop. Moreover, noise and vibration problems may occur.

Using detergent and softener

When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleacher and whitener, descaling agents; read the manufacturer's instructions written on the package and follow the dosages specified. Use a measuring cup if available.

The detergent drawer is composed of three compartments:

• (1) for prewash
• (2) for main wash
• (3) for softener
• ( ) in addition, there is a siphon piece in the softener compartment.

Detergent, softener and other cleaning agents

• Add detergent and softener before starting the washing programme.
• While the washing cycle is in progress, do not leave the detergent dispenser open!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment nr. "1").
• If you are using a program with prewash, start the machine after adding powder detergent to the prewash and main wash compartments (compartments 1 and 2).
• Do not select a programme with prewash if you are using a detergent bag or dispensing ball. Place the detergent bag or the dispensing ball directly among the laundry in the product.
• If you are using liquid detergent, do not forget to place the liquid detergent container into the main wash compartment (compartment number "2").

Choosing the detergent type
Detergent type to be used depends on the washing programme, fabric type and colour.

• Use different detergents for coloured and white laundry.
• Wash your delicate clothes only with special detergents (liquid detergent, wool shampoo, etc.) intended solely for delicate clothes and at suggested programmes.
• When washing dark coloured clothes and quilts, it is recommended to use liquid detergent.
• Wash woollens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woollens
• Please review the programme descriptions part for suggested programme for different textiles.
• All recommendations about detergents are valid for selectable temperature range of programmes.

Use only detergents manufactured specifically for washing machines.

Do not use soap powder.

Adjusting detergent amount
The amount of washing detergent to be used depends on the amount of laundry, the degree of soiling and water hardness.

• Do not use amounts exceeding the dosage quantities recommended on the detergent package to avoid problems of excessive foam, poor rinsing, make financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use less detergent for small loads, lightly soiled clothes and short duration programmes, especially in soft water areas.

Using softeners
Pour the softener into the softener compartment of the detergent drawer.

• Do not exceed the (>max<) level sign on the softener compartment.
• If the softener has lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it in the detergent compartment.

Using liquid detergents
If the product contains a liquid detergent cup:

• Put the liquid detergent container into the compartment no "2".
  
• If the liquid detergent lost its fluidity, dilute it with water before putting it into the detergent container.

If the product is equipped with a liquid detergent part:

• When you want to use liquid detergent, press on the point shown to rotate the apparatus. The part that falls off will function as a barrier for the liquid detergent. If required, clean the apparatus with water when it is in place or by removing it. If you will use powder detergent, the apparatus must be secured at top position. The fan that you would see in this position will mix the powder detergent and help it to dissolve.
  

If the product does not contain a liquid detergent cup:

• Do not use liquid detergent for the prewash in a programme with prewash.
• Liquid detergent stains your clothes when used with "End Time" function that delays start time. If you are going to use the End Time function, do not use liquid detergent.

Using gel and tablet detergent

• If the gel detergent thickness is fluid and your product does not contain a special liquid detergent cup, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your product contains a liquid detergent cup, fill the detergent into this cup before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluid or in the shape of capsule liquid tablet, put it directly into the drum before washing.
• Put tablet detergents into the main wash compartment (compartment nr. "2") or directly into the drum before washing.

Using starch

• Use the softener compartment to put the starch or the liquid soda or the powder soda or the fabric dye.
  Do not use softener and starch together in a washing cycle.
• Wipe the inside of the product with a damp and clean cloth after using starch.

Using limescale remover

• When required, use limescale removers manufactured specifically for washing machines only.

Using bleaches
Add the bleach at the beginning of the washing cycle by selecting a prewash programme. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleaching agent while the product is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.

• Do not use bleaching agent and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (1/2 tea cup - approx. 50 ml) of bleaching agent and rinse the clothes very well as it causes skin irritation.
• Do not pour the bleach onto the laundry.
• Do not use it with the coloured items.
• When using oxygen-based whitener, select a programme which washes the laundry at a low temperature.
• Oxygen-based whiteners can be used together with the detergent. However, if its thickness is not the same as the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment nr. "2" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the product is taking in water. While the machine continues taking in water, add whitener in the same compartment.

-: See the programme description for maximum load.

Please read installation section of the manual before first use.
Water and power consumption may vary subject to the changes in water pressure, water hardness and temperature, ambient temperature, type and amount of laundry, spin speed, and changes in electric voltage.
Depending on the amount of laundry you have loaded into your machine, there may be a difference of 1-1.5 hours between the duration shown in the Programme and consumption table and the actual washing duration. Duration will be automatically updated soon after the washing starts.
Always select the lowest appropriate temperature. The most efficient programmes in terms of energy consumption are generally those that perform at lower temperatures and longer duration.
Noise and remaining moisture content are influenced by the spinning speed: the higher the spinning speed in the spinning phase, the higher the noise and the lower the remaining moisture content.

The values given for programmes other than the eco 40-60 programme are indicative only and depend on load amount.

Main programmes

Depending on the type of fabric, use the following main programmes.

• Cottons
  Use this programme for your cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.). Your laundry will be washed with vigorous washing action for a longer washing cycle.
• Synthetics
  Use to wash your synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.). Your laundry will be washed with a gentle action for a shorter washing cycle when compared to the Cottons programme. For curtains and tulle, it is recommended to use Synthetics 20˚C or 40˚C programme.
• Hand Wash
  Use to wash your woollen/delicate laundry. Your laundry will be washed with a very gentle washing action in order not to damage the clothes.

Additional programmes

For special cases, additional programmes are available in the machine.

Additional programmes may differ according to the model of the machine.

• Eco 40-60
  The eco 40-60 programme is able to clean normally soiled cotton laundry declared to be washable at 40°C or 60°C, together in the same cycle, and that this programme is used to assess the compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.
  Although it washes longer than all other programmes, it provides high energy and water savings. Actual water temperature may be different from the stated wash temperature. When you load the machine with less laundry (e.g. ½ capacity or less), periods in programme stages may automatically get shorter. In this case, energy and water consumption will decrease.
• Cottons 60° with Prewash
  Use this programme only for heavily soiled cotton clothes. Add detergent into the prewash compartment. • Quick
  Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.
• Shirts
  This programme is used to wash the shirts made from cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics altogether. It reduces wrinkles. Pre-treatment algorithm is executed.
  • Apply the pre-treatment chemical on your garments directly or add it together with detergent when the machine starts to take water from the main washing compartment. Thus the machine will wash them in a short period of time and expected lifespan of your shirts will extend.
• Down Wear
  Use this programme to wash your coats, vest, jackets etc. containing feathers with a "machine-washable" label on them. Thanks to special spinning profiles, it is ensured that the water reaches the air gaps amongst the feathers.
• Drum Clean
  Use regularly (once in every 1-2 months) to clean the drum and provide the required hygiene. Operate the programme while the machine is completely empty. To obtain better results, put powder lime-scale remover for washing machines into the detergent compartment no. "2". When the programme is over, leave the loading door ajar so that the inside of the machine gets dry.

This is not a washing programme. It is a maintenance programme.
Do not run the programme when there is something in the machine. If you try to do so, the machine detects that there is load inside and aborts the programme.

Special programmes

For specific applications, select any of the following programmes.

• Rinse
  Use when you want to rinse or starch separately.
• Spin+Drain
  You can use this function to remove the water on the garment of drain the water in the machine.
  Before selecting this programme, select the desired spin speed and press Start / Pause button. First, the machine will drain the water inside of it. Then, it will spin the laundry with the set spin speed and drain the water coming out of them.
  If you wish to drain only the water without spinning your laundry, select the Pump+Spin programme and then select the No Spin function with the help of Spin Speed Adjustment button. Press Start / Pause button.

Use a lower spin speed for delicate laundries.

Speed selection

Whenever a new programme is selected, the recommended spin speed of the selected programme is displayed on the spin speed indicator.
To decrease the spin speed, press the Spin Speed Adjustment button. Spin speed decreases gradually. Then, depending on the model of the product, "Rinse Hold" and "No Spin" options appear on the display. When "No Spin" is selected, the spin speed indicator lights will not turn on.

Rinse hold
If you are not going to unload your clothes immediately after the programme completes, you can 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 will resume. Water is drained, laundry is spun and the programme is completed.

If the programme has not reached the spinning step, you can change the speed without switching the machine to Pause mode.

Delayed Start

With the Delayed Start function the startup of the programme may be delayed up to 3, 6 or 9 hours.

Do not use liquid detergents when you set Delayed Start! There is the risk of staining of the clothes.

1. Open the loading door, place the laundry and put detergent, etc.
2. Select a washing programme and spin speed.
3. Set the desired time by pressing the Delayed Start button. When the button is pressed once, 3 hours delayed start is selected. When the same button is pressed again, 6 hours delay is selected, and when it is pressed for the third time, 9 hours delayed start is selected. If you press the Delayed Start button once again, Delayed Start function will be cancelled.
4. Press Start / Pause button. Previous delayed start time light turns off and next delayed start time light turns on after every 3 hours.
5. At the end of the countdown, all delayed start lights will turn off and the selected programme will start.

Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of product extends and frequently experienced problems will be reduced if it is 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 indicated point on the siphon in the softener compartment and pull the drawer towards you until the compartment is removed from the machine.
2. Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as illustrated. If more than normal amount of water and softener mixture starts to gather in the softener compartment, the siphon must be cleaned.
   
3. Wash the detergent drawer and the siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a washbasin. In order to prevent the residues to contact your skin, clean it with an appropriate brush by wearing a pair of gloves.
4. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and make sure that it is seated well.

Cleaning the loading door and the drum

For products with drum cleaning programme, please see Operating the product - Programmes.

Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for washing machines.

After every wash make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the door bellow shown in the figure are blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.

Foreign metal substances will cause rust stains in the drum. Clean the stains on the drum surface by using cleaning agents for stainless steel.
Never use steel wool or wire wool. These will damage the painted, chromated and plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the body and control panel

Wipe the body of the product 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.

Cleaning the water intake filters

There is a filter at the end of each water intake valve at the rear of the product 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 product. 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, remove them from their places with a pliers and clean in this way.
   
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 seals and filters carefully and tighten their nuts by hand ensuring there are no leaks.

Draining remaining water and cleaning the pump filter

The filter system in your product prevents solid items such as buttons, coins and fabric fibres 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 product fails to drain water inside it, the pump filter is clogged. Filter must be cleaned whenever it is clogged or every 3 months. Water must be drained off first to clean the pump filter.
In addition, prior to transporting the product (e.g., when moving to another house) water should be drained completely.

Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your product or may cause noise problem.

In regions where freezing is possible, the supply tap must be closed, system hose must be removed and the water inside the product must be drained when the product is not in use.

After each use, turn off the water tap to which the mains hose is connected.

In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the water:

1. Unplug the product to cut off the supply power.

Temperature of the water inside the product may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the product is cooled down.

2. Open the filter cover.
   
3. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
   If the product has an emergency water draining hose, in order to drain the water:
   1. Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat
   2. 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 product completely.
      
   3. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.
   4. Turn and remove the pump filter.
4. Clean any residues inside the filter as well as fibres, if any, around the pump impeller region.
5. Replace the filter.
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.
