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.

7.3Cleaning 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.

7.4 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.

7.5Draining 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.
