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 must be cleaned as they do get dirty.

1Close the taps.

2Remove 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.

3Take out the filters on the flat ends of the water intake hoses together with the gaskets and clean thoroughly under running water.

4Replace the gaskets and filters carefully in their places and tighten the hose nuts by hand.

5.5Draining 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.

WARNING: If the machine is not in use, turn the tap off, detach the supply hose and drain the water inside the machine against any freezing possibility in the region of installation.

WARNING: After each use close the supply hose tap of the machine .

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, clean the filter after the water in the machine cools down.

2Open the filter cap.

3Some of our machine s have emergency draining hose

and some does not have. Follow the steps below to discharge the water.

Discharging the water when the machine has an emergency draining hose:

aPull the emergency draining hose out from its seat

bPlace a large container at the end of the hose. Drain the water into the container by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose. When the container is full, block the inlet

of the hose by replacing the plug. After the container is emptied, repeat the above procedure to drain the water in the machine completely.

cWhen draining of water is finished, close the end by the plug again and fix the hose in its place.

dTurn the pump filter to take it out.
