Maintenance and cleaning
7.3 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.
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.
7.5 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.
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.
If the filter cap is one piece, pull the cap from both
sides at the top to open.

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.
