and softener mixture starts to gather in the
softener compartment, the siphon must be
cleaned.
2. Wash the dispenser drawer and the
siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a
washbasin.
3. Replace the drawer into its housing after
cleaning. Check if the siphon is in its original
location.
Inlet water filters
There is a filter at the end of each water intake
valve at the back side of the machine and also
at the end of each water intake hose where they
are connected to the tap. These filters prevent
the foreign substances and dirt in the water to
enter into the machine. Filters should be cleaned
as they get dirty.
• Close the taps.
• Remove the nuts of the water intake hoses to
clean the surfaces of the filters on the water
intake valves with an appropriate brush.
• If the filters are very dirty, you can pull 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 streaming water.
• Replace the gaskets and filters carefully to
their places and tighten the hose nuts by
hand.
Draining any remaining water and
cleaning the pump filter
Your product is equipped with a filter system
which ensures a cleaner water discharge that
extends pump life by preventing solid items such
as buttons, coins and fabric fibers from clogging
the pump propeller during discharge of the
washing water.
• If your machine fails to drain the water, the
pump filter may be clogged. You may have
to clean it every 2 years or whenever it is
plugged. Water must be drained off to clean
the pump filter.
In addition, water may have to be drained off
completely in the following cases:
• before transporting the machine (e.g. when
moving house)
• when there is the danger of frost
In order to clean the dirty filter and discharge the
water;
1- Unplug the machine to cut off the supply
power.
A
There may be water at 90°C in the machine.
Therefore, the filter must be cleaned only
after the inside water is cooled down to avoid
hazard of scalding.
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap may be
composed of one or two pieces according to the
model of your machine.
If it is composed of two pieces, press the tab on
the filter cap downwards and pull the piece out
towards yourself.
If it is composed of one piece, hold it from both
sides and open it by pulling out.
3- An emergency drain hose is supplied with
some of our models. Others are not supplied
with this item.
If your product is supplied with an emergency
drain hose, do the following as shown in the
figure below:
• Pull out the pump outlet hose from its
housing.
• Place a large container at the end of the
hose. Drain the water off into the container
by pulling out the plug at the end of the hose.
If the amount of water to be drained off is
greater than the volume of the container,
replace the plug, pour the water out, then
resume the draining process.
• After draining process is completed, replace
the plug into the end of the hose and fit the
