Water pressure of 1-10 bars from your tap will enable your machine  
to work more efficiently.(1 bar pressure means water flow of more  
than 8 liters in 1 minute from a fully opened tap).  
After connections are completed, check for leakage of the connection  
joints by turning on your tap completely.  
Be sure that water inlet hoses are not folded, broken or crushed.  
Connect the other end of the water inlet hoses to a ¾”, thread water  
tap.

SECTION 5: WASHING YOUR LAUNDRY  
Plug in the machine.  
Open the water supply.  
First wash cycle  
We recommend the first wash cycle should be made without any laundry.Use  
programme 1 without any detergent.  
BEFORE WASHING  
Arrange your clothes according to their types (cotton, synthetic,  
sensitive, woolen, etc.),washing temperatures and level of dirtiness.  
Never wash your white and coloured clothes together.  
Since your new coloured clothes may shed dye on the first wash,  
wash them separately.  
Be careful that no metal pieces are found on or in the pockets of your  
clothes, remove if there is any.  
Zip and button up your clothes.  
Remove the plastic or metal hooks of the curtains and laces or place  
them inside a washing bag and tie.  
Turn trousers,knitted fabric,t-shirt and sweat shirt inside out.  
Wash your small clothes like socks and handkerchiefs in a washing  
bag.  
Wash up to 90 ˚C Wash up to 60 ˚C Wash up to 30 ˚C  
Not machine  
washable  
Placement of the clothes into the machine  
Open the door of your machine.  
Place clothes in your machine.  
When you shut the door of your machine, be careful that nothing is  
jammed between the cover and the rubber seal.  
Shut the door of your machine tightly otherwise your machine will not  
start the washing process.

Filling detergent in the machine  
The quantity of the detergent that you will fill in your machine depends on the  
following criteria:  
Your detergent consumption will change according to the soil level  
of your clothes. For your slightly dirty clothes, do not pre-wash and  
put a small amount of detergent in the compartment no.2 of the  
detergent drawer.  
For your excessively dirty clothes, select a program with pre-  
washing, fill ¼ portion of the detergent you will put in compartment  
1 in the detergent drawer and the remaining portion in compartment  
2.  
In your machine,use the detergents developed especially for  
automatic washing machines. The quantities that will be used for  
your clothes are written on the packing of the detergents.  
As the hardness of your water increases, the amount of the  
detergent to be consumed will also increase.  
As the amount of your clothes increases, the amount of the  
detergent to be consumed will also increase.  
Fill your softener in the softener compartment in your detergent  
drawer. Do not exceed the MAX level. Otherwise, the softener will  
diffuse in the washing water via the siphon.  
The softeners with high density should be diluted with some water  
before filling in the drawer. That is because the softener with high  
density obstructs the siphon and prevents the flow of the softener.  
You can use fluid detergents in all programs without pre-washing.  
For this, mount the fluid detergent level plate in the second  
compartment of the detergent drawer and arrange the amount of  
fluid detergent according to the levels on this plate.  
OPERATING THE THE WASHING MACHINE  
Selection of the programme  
Select the programme suitable for your clothes from Table-1(Page 17).  
Adjust the programme that you have selected by using programme knob.

NOTE: If you are trying to spin a small load the appliance may take some  
time to balance the load before spinning commences. You may need to  
increase the load to successfully complete the spinning cycle. To conserve  
energy we recommend spinning full loads.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING  
Unplug your machine.  
Close the water tap.  
WATER INLET FILTERS  
On the tap part of your machine’s water inlet hose and at the ends of water  
inlet valves, there are filters to prevent entrance of the dirt and foreign  
materials in the water to the machine. If the machine is unable to receive  
sufficient water although your water tap is opened, these filters should be  
cleaned.  
Remove the water inlet hose.  
Remove the filters found on the water inlet valves by using pliers and  
wash thoroughly with a brush.  
Clean the filters of the water inlet hoses located on the tap side by  
removing manually together with the seal.  
After you clean the filters, you can fit them the same way as you have  
removed.  
PUMP FILTER  
The pump filter system extends the life of your pump, which is used to drain  
the dirty water. It prevents dirt entering the pump. Cleaning of your pump filter  
in every 2-3 months is recommended. To clean your pump filter:  
Turn of the machine at the electricty supply.  
Remove the kickplate by pushing with your hand upwards from the  
lower indents under the cover and pulling towards yourself.  
Before opening the filter cover,place a cup in front of the filter cover  
to prevent flow of the remaining water in the machine.  
Loosen the filter cover by rotating it counter clockwise and drain the  
water.  
Remove the foreign materials from the filter.  
Check for the rotation of the pump manually.  
After you have cleaned the pump, fit the filter cover by rotating  
clockwise.  
Replace the kickplate by clipping it back into position.  
Do not forget that if you do not fit in the filter cover properly, it will  
leak water.

SIPHON PLUG  
Pull out the detergent drawer. Remove the siphon plug and clean the  
residues of the softener thoroughly.Replace the plug.  
THE CABINET  
NOTE:Disconnect from the mains supply before cleaning.  
Clean the exterior surface of the cabinet of your machine with lukewarm water  
and a cleaning substance that will not irritate the cabinet. After rinsing with  
clean water, wipe it with a soft and dry cloth.  
WARNING!  
If the machine is installed in a location where the temperature can fall below  
0 ˚C, do the following when it will not be in use:  
Plug in the machine.  
Close the water tap and pull out the water inlet hose or hoses from  
the tap.  
Place the ends of the water drain and water inlet hoses in a cup on  
the ground.  
Adjust the program knob to “Draining” program.  
The program ready light will be on.  
Run the program by pressing the start/pause button.  
Unplug your machine when the program is over (program end light is  
on).  
When you complete this proces, the remaining water inside the machine will  
be drained and thus formation of ice in the machine will be prevented. When  
you operate your machine again, be sure that the temperature is above 0 ˚C.  
THE DRUM  
Do not leave metal parts like needles, staples or coins inside your machine.  
These pieces cause formation of rust stains in the drum. To eliminate these  
stains of rust, use a cleaning substance without chlorium and follow the  
warnings of the cleaning substance producer. For cleaning rust stains, never  
use dish-washing wires or similar rough objects.  
REMOVAL OF LIMESCALE FROM YOUR MACHINE  
If you arrange the amount of the detergent you use in your machine properly,  
there will be no need for limescale removal. However, if you desire to apply  
the removal procedure, use the limescale protectors in the market and pay  
attention to their warnings.  
WARNING!  
The lime eliminating substances contain acids and this may cause colour  
modifications in your clothes along with an adverse effect on your machine.

alcohol (96 degrees) mixed in 2 units of water and then washed with  
lukewarm water.  
Tea and coffee: Stretch the stained area on the top of a container and pour  
water, as hot as the type of your cloth can endure, on it. If the type of your  
cloth is suitable,wash it with lye(caustic soda).  
Chocolate and cocoa: Leave your clothes in cold water and rub with soap or  
detergent. Wash it in the highest temperature that the type of your cloth can  
endure. If there is still a stain of oil left, wipe with oxygenated water (in

30 minutes and wash by rubbing with detergent.

Mustard: First apply glycerine to the stained area. Rub with detergent and  
then wash. If the stain still does not disappear, wipe with alcohol (On  
synthetic and coloured cloth, a mixture of 1 unit alcohol, 2 units water should  
be used).

be covered on the stain and it should be ironed with a dry cloth on it. It should  
be washed after rinsing well.
