Maintenance and cleaning

Service life of the product extends and
frequently faced problems decrease if cleaned
at regular intervals.

Cleaning the detergent drawer

Clean the detergent drawer at regular intervals
(every 4-5 washing cycles) as shown below
in order to prevent accumulation of powder
detergent in time.
1. Press the dotted point on the siphon in the
softener compartment and pull towards
you until the compartment is removed from
the machine.
If more than normal amount of water and
C
softener mixture starts to gather in the
softener compartment, the siphon must be
cleaned.
2. Wash the detergent drawer and the
siphon with plenty of lukewarm water in a
washbasin. Wear protective gloves or use
an appropriate brush to avoid touching of
the residues in the drawer with your skin
when cleaning.
3. Insert the drawer back into its place after
cleaning and make sure that it is seated
well.
Cleaning the loading door and
the drum
Residues of softener, detergent and dirt may
accumulate in your machine in time and
may cause unpleasant odours and washing
complaints. To avoid this, use the Drum
Cleaning programme. If your machine is not
featured with Drum Cleaning programme, use
Cottons-90 programme and select Additional
Water or Extra Rinse auxiliary functions as well.
Before starting the programme, put max. 100
g of powder anti-limescale into the main wash
detergent compartment (compartment nr. II). If
the anti-limescale is in tablet form, put only one
tablet into compartment nr. II. Dry the inside of
the bellow with a clean piece of cloth after the
programme has come to an end.
Repeat Drum Cleaning process in every 2
C
months.
Use an anti-limescale suitable for the
C
washing machines.
After every washing make sure that no foreign
substance is left in the drum.
If the holes on the bellow shown in the figure is
blocked, open the holes using a toothpick.
Foreign metal substances in your machine
C
will cause rust stains. Clean the stains on the
drum surface by using cleaning agents for
stainless steel. Never use steel wool or wire
wool.
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.
Never use sponge or scrub materials.
A
These will damage the painted and plastic
surfaces.

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.
