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.
A Foreign 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.
A Temperature 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.
If the filter cap is composed of two pieces, press the
tab on the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both sides at
the top to open.
C You can remove the filter cover by slightly pushing
downwards with a thin plastic tipped tool, through the
gap above the filter cover. Do not use metal tipped tools
to remove the cover.
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:
Pull the emergency draining hose out from its seat 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 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:
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
