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 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.

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
