C
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.
A
warning
: 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
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.
A
warning
: 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:
1. Unplug the machine to cut off the supply power.
A
warning
: 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.
2. 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 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
b. 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.
c. When draining of water is finished, close the end by the
plug again and fix the hose in its place.
d. Turn the pump filter to take it out.
