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.
If your detergent drawer is the one indicated in the
following figure:
C
Lift the rear part of the siphon to remove it as
illustrated. After performing the above mentioned
cleaning procedures, replace the siphon back to its
seating and push its front section downwards to
make sure that the locking tab engages.
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 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.
