4.17 Your machine is equipped
with a "Standby Mode"
In case of not starting any programme or waiting without
making any other operation when the machine is turned
on by On/Off button and while it is in selection step or if
no other operation is performed approximately 2 minutes
after the programme you selected has come to an end, your
machine will automatically switch to energy saving mode.
Display brightness will decrease. In case of rotating the
Programme Selection knob or pressing any button, lights will
restore to their previous condition. This is not a fault.
5 Maintenance and cleaning
Service life of the product extends and frequently faced
problems decrease if cleaned at regular intervals.
5.1 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Insert the drawer back into its place after cleaning and
make sure that it is seated well.
5.2 Cleaning the loading door and the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may accumulate
in your machine in time and may cause unpleasant odours
and washing complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum
Cleaning programme. If your machine is not featured with
Drum Cleaning programme, use Cottons-90 programme
and select Additional Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary
functions as well. Run theBefore starting the programme,
put max. 100 g of powder anti-limescale into the main
wash detergent compartment (compartment nr. 2). If the
anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one tablet into
compartment nr. 2. Dry the inside of the bellow with a clean
piece of cloth after the programme has come to an end.
C
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2 months.
C
Use an 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.
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
:
Never use sponge or scrub materials. These
warning
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.
