Removing packaging reinforcement

Tilt the machine backwards to remove the packaging reinforcement. Remove the packaging reinforcement by pulling the ribbon. Do not make this operation alone by yourself.

Removing the transportation locks

1. Loosen all bolts with an appropriate wrench until they turn freely.
   
2. Remove the transport safety bolts by turning them slightly.
   
3. Insert the plastic covers in the bag containing the user manual to 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 reverse order of the disassembly procedure.
• Never move the product without the transportation safety bolts properly fixed in place!

Connecting water supply

• The water supply pressure required to run the product is between 1 to 10 bars (0.1 – 1 MPa). It is necessary to 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.

• 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.
• Do not use old or used water inlet hoses on the new product. It may cause stains on your laundry.

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 is leak problems at the connection points by opening the taps fully. If any leaks occur, turn off the tap 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 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 to go 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, use it by adding 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 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.

Using detergent and softener

• When using detergent, softener, starch, fabric dye, bleach and descaling agents; read the manufacturer's instructions written on the package and follow the dosages specified. Use 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 drawer open!
• When using a programme without prewash, do not put any detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").
• In a programme with prewash, do not put liquid detergent into the prewash compartment (compartment no. "1").
• 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 no. "2").

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

• 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 woolens at suggested programme with special detergent made specifically for woolens
• Please review the program descriptions part for suggested program 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, financial savings and finally, environmental protection.
• Use less detergent for smaller loads, lightly soiled clothes or when using 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 adding it in the detergent compartment.

• Do not use liquid detergents or other cleaning products other than fabric softeners produced for washing machines to soften the clothes.

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, pull the apparatus towards yourself. The part that falls down will serve 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.

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 to started delayed. 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 fluidal and your product does not contain a special liquid detergent container, put the gel detergent into the main wash detergent compartment during first water intake. If your product contains a liquid detergent container, fill the detergent into this container before starting the programme.
• If the gel detergent thickness is not fluidal 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 no. "2") or directly into the drum before washing.

Using starch

• Add liquid starch, powder starch or the dyestuff into the softener compartment.
• 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

• Select a programme with prewash and add the bleach at the beginning of the prewash. Do not put detergent in the prewash compartment. As an alternative application, select a programme with extra rinse and add the bleach while the product is taking water from the detergent compartment during first rinsing step.
• Do not use bleach and detergent by mixing them.
• Use just a little amount (approx. 50 ml) of bleach 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 colored items.
• When using an oxygen-based bleach, select a program which washes the laundry at a low temperature.
• Oxygen-based bleach can be used together with the detergent. However, if its thickness is not the same with the detergent, put the detergent first into the compartment no. "2" in the detergent drawer and wait until the detergent flows while the product is taking in water. While the product continues taking in water, add bleach in the same compartment.

Main programmes

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

• Cottons
  You can wash your durable cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear etc.) in this programme. When you press the quick wash function key, programme duration becomes notably shorter but effective washing is ensured thanks to intense washing movements. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Synthetics
  You can use this programme to wash t-shirts, syntetic/cotton mix fabrics etc. Programme duration is notably shorter and efficient washing performance is ensured. If the quick wash function is not selected, superior washing and rinsing performance is ensured for your heavily soiled laundry.
• Hand Wash
  Use this programme to wash your woolen/ delicate clothes. Select the appropriate temperature complying with the tag of your clothes. Your laundry will be washed with very delicate movements to avoid any damage.

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 more.
• Anti Allergy
  Use this programme for laundry that requires an intense, long, anti-allergic and hygienic washing cycle at high temperature. A high level of hygiene is ensured thanks to the long heating and additional rinsing step.
  • The programme was tested by the "VDE" institute while the temperature was 20°C, and its efficiency in bacteria and mould elimination was certified.
  • The programme has been tested by "The British Allergy Foundation - Allergy UK" while the temperature was 60°C, and its efficiency in eliminating bacteria and mould, as well as allergens, was certified.
    
    Allergy UK is the trademark of the British Allergy Foundation. The Seal of Approval has been designed to provide guidance to persons who want information whether the product significantly decreases the amount of allergens in the environment it is installed or whether it limits/reduces/eliminates the allergens. Its purpose is to provide evidence that the products have been tested scientifically or reviewed to provide measurable results.
• Delicates
  You can use this programme to wash delicate laundry such as cotton/synthetic mix knitted clothes or socks. Washing movements in this programme are more delicate. Set the temperature to 20 degrees or use the Cold Wash option for clothes whose colour you wish to preserve.
• Quick / Super Quick
  Use this programme to wash your lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time. The programme duration can be reduced down to 14 minutes when the quick wash function is selected. When the quick wash function is selected, maximum 2 (two) kg of laundry must be washed.
• Dark Care
  Use this programme to preserve the colour of your dark-coloured clothes and jeans. This programme provides high efficiency in washing, thanks to a special drum movement, even at low temperatures. It is recommended to use liquid detergent or woolen shampoo for dark coloured laundry. Do not wash your delicate clothes that contain wool etc. in this programme.
• Mixed Fabrics
  You can use this programme to wash cottons and synthetics together without the need to sort them.
• Shirts
  Use this programme to wash shirts made of cotton, synthetic and synthetic blended fabrics together. This programme ensures that your clothes wrinkle less. When the quick wash function is selected, the Pre-treatment algorithm is used.
  • Apply the pre-treatment chemical directly onto the clothes, or add it together with the detergent when the machine starts to take in water from the main wash compartment. This way, it will take you much shorter to get the performance you would normally get with a regular washing cycle. Life of your shirts will be longer.
• Sports
  Use this programme to wash outdoor/sports clothes that contain cotton/synthetic mix, as well as waterproof cloths like gore-tex. This programme washes your laundry delicately thanks to its special turning movements.
• Duvet
  Use this programme to wash fibre duvets that bear a "Machine-washable" tag. To avoid damaging your machine or duvet, make sure that the duvet is correctly loaded into the machine. Remove the cover of your duvet before loading the machine. Fold the duvet in two before placing it into the machine. Make sure that the duvet does not contact the bellow or glass.
  
  • Do not load the machine with more than a double fibre duvet (200 x 200 cm).
  • Do not wash your cotton duvets, pillows etc. in the machine.
  • Do not use the washing machine to wash materials such as carpets, rugs etc.
    Otherwise, permanent damage will occur to the machine.
• StainExpert
  Your washing machine has a special stain programme ensuring that different types of stains are removed in the most efficient way. Use this programme only to use durable, colourfast cottons. Do not wash delicate or non-colourfast clothes in this programme. You should check the tags of clothing before washing (recommended for shirts, trousers, shorts, t-shirts, baby clothes, pyjamas, aprons, table cloths, bedding, duvet covers, sheets, bath/brach towels, regular towels, socks, and cotton underwear suitable for long washing cycles at a high temperature). With the auto stain programme, you can remove 24 types of stains grouped into two categories according to quick function selection. Here you can see the stain groups based on quick function selection.

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 detergent / anti-limescale suitable for the washing machines.

After every washing make sure that no foreign substance is left in the drum.

If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is 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 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.

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, 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.

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 (e.g., when moving to another house) and in case of freezing of the water, water may have to be drained completely.

• Foreign substances left in the pump filter may damage your machine or may cause noise problem.
• If the product is not being used, shut the tap shut, remove mains pipe and drain the water inside the machine against any likely freezing.
• 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 machine to cut off the supply power.
   
   • Temperature of the water inside the machine may rise up to 90 ºC. To avoid the burning risk, clean the filter after the water inside the machine is cooled down.
2. Open the filter cover.
   
3. Follow the below procedures in order to drain water.
