Make sure power button is off before  
loading the washer. To load the  
washer,  
• Pull the door handle.  
• Place laundry items loosely in the  
drum.  
• Mix small and large items for an even  
load distribution. Large items should  
be loaded first. Large items should  
not be more than half of the total  
wash load.  
• If you put a wash bag or net which  
is filled with small items in the drum,  
put an additional wash bag to  
prevent load unbalance. Both wash  
bags should have the same amount  
of items to provide an even load  
distribution.  
• Before washing a single or a few  
items such as a pillow, a teddy bear,  
a single or a pair of shirts, sweat  
shirts etc, put some additional items  
in the drum for better load distribution  
and spinning.  
• Make sure that there is no clothing  
obstructing the door or caught  
between the door and rubber seal.  
• Push the loading door firmly shut until  
you hear it lock into space.  
• If the door is not closed completely,  
the machine will not start. This is a  
safety precaution. The front door  
is locked until end of the washing  
program and it can not be opened for  
about 2 minutes following the end of  
the program.  
• Unload the washed items just after  
the program cycle has finished. Delay  
of unloading may cause wrinkling and  
unwanted odor on laundry.  
• Check to see any small metal items  
such as pins, coins etc left in rubber  
seal while unloading the washer.  
Any residual metal items may cause  
rusting on the rubber seal.  
• If there is any water left in rubber seal,  
remove with a soft cloth.  
Preparing the laundry  
• Items of laundry with metal parts (e.g.  
underwire bras, belt buckles, metal  
buttons) will damage the washer.  
Remove metal parts of place the  
items in a cloth bag, pillow case, or  
something similar.  
• Remove any non-washable items  
and accessories from laundry before  
washing.  
• Empty pockets, remove all foreign  
objects (e.g. coins, pens, paper  
clips). If possible: Turn pockets inside  
out and brush.  
• Place small items of laundry (e.g.  
tights) in a cloth bag, pillow case or  
something similar. This can also help  
you to avoid searching for lost socks.  
• Handle curtains special care. Remove  
non-stainless curtain runners and  
lead tape. Place runners that can’t be  
removed in a cloth bag, pillow case  
or something similar.  
• Heavy stains should be pretreated  
with soapy water appropriately before  
washing (Do not rub or scratch the  
stained area). If in doubt, check with  
a chemist or dry-cleaner.  
• Use only dyes/discoloring and anti-  
scaling agents suitable for machine  
wash. Make sure to follow the  
instructions on the package.  
AWARNING - Wash jeans, delicates,  
pants and sweat-shirts inside-out.

About Detergent  
C Your washer is designed to use only  
HE (high efficiency) detergents. You  
should always look for the following  
symbol on the label of detergents:  
If you use a non-HE detergent with this  
washer, high sudsing will occur. High  
sudsing will decrease tumble action  
effectiveness, washing and rinsing  
performance worsen. Suds may flow  
out of detergent dispenser giving  
damage to your washer.

Detergent Dispenser  
Detergent dispenser of your washer  
has three separate compartments for  
main wash detergent, fabric softener  
and liquid bleach. Each of these laundry  
additives are automatically dispensed at  
appropriate time during wash program.  
C Do not put laundry additives directly  
in the wash drum. Always use the  
detergent dispenser.  
C The detergents labeled as “HE  
compatible” may also lead to high  
sudsing and inefficient tumble action.  
Don’t use such detergents.  
C After adding laundry additives do not  
close the drawer too quickly. This  
may cause early dispensing of the  
additives thus poor wash results and  
fabric damage.  
C Do not open the drawer during wash  
program (except for addition of liquid  
main wash detergent at the beginning  
of main wash water intake).  
Always follow the instructions and  
information given by laundry detergent  
manufacturers when using these  
products.  
AWARNING –Store laundry detergents  
and additives in a cool, dry place out  
of childrens reach due to danger of  
chemical poisoning and skin irritation.  
Dispenser compartments are as follows:  
-left compartment numbered as “II”  
(main wash compartment)  
-middle compartment marked as “  
(liquid fabric softener compartment)  
-right compartment numbered as “I”  
(liquid chlorine bleach compartment)  
Detergent Quantity  
The amount of washing detergent to use  
depends on the amount of laundry, the  
degree of soiling and water hardness.  
For small amounts of laundry or only  
slight soiling use accordingly less  
detergent.  
Too much detergent causes an  
excessive amount of foaming, bad  
washing and rinsing results and a strain  
on water resources.  
Too little washing detergent causes  
laundry to turn grey and calcification of  
the machine. Recommended amount of  
powder detergent is max. 1/3 cup (80  
ml). Recommended amount of liquid  
detergent is max. 1/4 cup (60 ml).  
(II) Main Wash Detergent  
Compartment  
Add HE (High efficiency) powder  
detergent to this compartment  
numbered as “II” before starting the  
wash program.

This container ensures dispensing and  
dilution of bleach during the first rinse  
of wash cycle. There is a maximum fill  
line on the container. Do not exceed  
the maximum fill line to prevent early  
dispensing. Early dispensing may  
damage your clothes.  
If you use a liquid detergent, be sure  
to use a HE (High efficiency) detergent  
and add detergent directly to main  
wash compartment before operating  
C Be sure that bleach container is  
present in the right compartment  
of dispenser before you add liquid  
bleaching agent. You may remove  
bleach container if you would not  
use bleach. However do not put any  
other laundry additives to the empty

your washer. If you observe liquid  
detergent stains on washed items,  
it is recommended for subsequent  
wash cycles that you should add liquid  
detergent during first water intake.  
Color-safe bleach in powder or liquid  
form may be added into main wash  
detergent compartment with main wash  
detergent. Be sure to use main wash  
detergent and color-safe bleach in same  
form (either powder or liquid) when  
adding into main wash compartment.  
Bleach is automatically dispensed and  
diluted during the first rinse of wash  
program.  
C WARNING – Bleach may only  
be used in Regular/Cotton and  
Permanent Press cycles. Don’t  
use bleach with delicates, hand  
washables or wools, it will lead to  
clothes damage.  
Liquid Fabric Softener Compartment  
Add the recommended amount of  
liquid fabric softener to the middle  
compartment marked as “ ” and dilute  
it with warm water to the maximum fill  
line.  
C Especially concentrated fabric  
softeners must be diluted with warm  
water otherwise siphon may be  
clogged in time.  
Water Consumption  
Your clothes washer automatically  
adjusts the water consumption  
according to load amount. This feature  
ensures high wash performance  
results with efficient water and energy  
consumption.  
Do not fill the fabric softener above the  
maximum fill line as any excess amount  
will mix into the wash water and you will  
have to re-fill the compartment. Do not  
pour the softener directly onto laundry, it  
may cause stains.  
Liquid fabric softener is automatically  
dispensed during the final rinse of wash  
program.

C Never use a sponge or scrubbing  
material. These will damage the  
painted and plastic parts.  
Cleaning the water inlet  
strainers  
In addition, water may have to be  
drained off completely in the following  
cases:  
There is a strainer at the end of each  
water inlet valve at the back side of  
the washer and also at the end of  
each water inlet hose where they  
are connected to the faucets. These  
strainers prevent the foreign substances  
and dirt in the water to enter into the  
washer. Strainers should be cleaned  
from time to time.  
• before transporting the appliance  
(e.g. when moving )  
• when there is a danger of frost  
In order to clean the dirty filter and  
discharge the water;  
1- Disconnect or unplug the washer  
from the power supply.  
AWARNING - There may be water at  
158F (70°C) in the drum. Therefore,  
the filter must be cleaned only after  
the inside water is cooled down to  
avoid hazard of scalding.  
• Close the water faucets.  
• Remove the nuts of the water inlet  
hoses to clean the surfaces of the  
2- Open the filter cap. The filter cap

clean them.  
Take out the strainers on the flat ends  
of the water inlet hoses together with  
the rubber seals and clean thoroughly  
under running water.  
• Replace the rubber seals and  
strainers carefully and tighten the  
hose nuts by hand.  
If it is composed of one piece, hold it  
from both sides and open it by pulling  
out.  
Cleaning the drain pump filter  
Filter system in your washer prevents  
solid items such as buttons, coins and  
fabric fibers clogging the pump impeller  
during discharging of the washing  
water. Thus, a good water discharge is  
achieved and the pump life is extended.  
• If your washer fails to drain the water,  
the pump filter may be clogged. You

below:  
To prevent scaling, wash drum  
should be cleaned frequently. Do not  
use abrasive materials such as metal  
wool while cleaning the drum.  
• Pull out the emergency drain hose  
from its housing.  
Take the manufacturers instructions  
into account if you are using a  
descaling agent. Descaling agents  
may contain materials that are  
hazardous for washer components.  
Use descaling agents compatible for  
use in clothes washers.  
When using a powder descaling  
agent, add 1 cup to the main wash  
compartment of the dispenser and  
run a regular hot cycle (with extra  
rinse) without any clothes and  
detergents.  
• 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 hose back into its  
place.  
• When there is no water left, turn the  
pump filter until it is completely loose  
and remove it.  
• Clean any residues inside the filter  
as well as fibers, if any, around the  
impeller region.  
• Never force the filter while replacing it  
into its housing. Fit the filter fully into  
its housing; otherwise, water may  
leak from the filter cap.  
4- Close the filter cap.  
Close the two-piece filter cap of your  
product by pushing the tab on it.  
Close the one-piece filter cap of your  
product by fitting the tabs on the bottom  
into their positions and pushing the  
upper part of it.

Hard water can cause scale build-  
up inside the drum and other parts  
of your washer in time. Scaling may  
lead to some serious problems such  
as clogging in hoses, heater or pump  
failure eventually.
