Usage Features
The washing machine features a control panel with a Programme Selection knob (On/Off position), Spin Speed Indicator LEDs, Child Lock Enabled LED, Door Lock Enabled LED, Delayed Start Indicator LEDs, Programme Follow-up LEDs, Start/Pause Button, Delayed Start Setting Button, and Spin Speed Adjustment button.
Preparation:
- Ensure hoses are tightly connected.
- Plug in the machine.
- Turn the tap on completely.
- Load laundry.
- Add detergent and fabric softener.
Program Selection:
Programs are selected via the Programme Selection knob, based on fabric type, quantity, and soiling degree. Indicative values for Synthetics programs (40°C and 20°C) are provided, showing load, water consumption, energy consumption, program duration, and remaining moisture content at different spin speeds.
Main Programs:
- Cottons: For cotton laundry (sheets, bedlinen, towels, bathrobes, underwear, etc.).
- Synthetics: For synthetic clothes (shirts, blouses, synthetic/cotton blends, etc.).
- Woollens / Hand Wash: For delicate woollens and hand-washable laundry.
- Cottons Eco: Energy label program for normally soiled cottons.
- Prewash-Cottons: For heavily soiled cotton clothes, with an added prewash.
- Daily Xpress: For lightly soiled cotton clothes in a short time.
- Shirts: For shirts made from cotton, synthetic, and synthetic blended fabrics.
- Down Wear: For coats, vests, jackets, etc., containing feathers, with special spin profiles.
- Drum Clean: A maintenance program to clean the drum and ensure hygiene (recommended every 1-2 months).
Special Programs:
- Rinse: For rinsing or starching separately.
- Spin+Drain: To remove water from garments or drain water from the machine. Spin speed can be adjusted.
- Delayed Start: Allows delaying the program start by 3, 6, or 9 hours. Liquid detergents are not recommended when using this function due to staining risk.
- Child Lock: Prevents children from tampering with the machine. Activated by pressing Spin Speed and Delayed Start buttons for 3 seconds.
- Pause Mode: Allows pausing a running program to add or remove laundry if the water level is appropriate.
- Cancelling the Program: Turn the Programme Selection knob to another program. The machine will end the program, but may not drain water if a new program is selected immediately.
- Energy Saving Mode: The machine automatically switches to energy saving mode if no program is started or action is taken within approx. 2 minutes after a program ends.
Detergent and Softener Usage:
The detergent drawer has three compartments: prewash (1), main wash (2), and softener (3). A siphon piece is in the softener compartment.
- Detergents and softeners should be added before starting the program.
- Liquid detergent container should be placed in the main wash compartment (2) when using liquid detergents.
- Detergent type depends on fabric type and color (e.g., special detergents for delicate clothes, liquid detergent for dark clothes and quilts, wool shampoo for woollens).
- Only detergents specifically for washing machines should be used; soap powder is not recommended.
- Detergent amount should be adjusted based on laundry amount, soiling degree, and water hardness.
- Softeners should be poured into the softener compartment, not exceeding the 'max' level. Dilute thick softeners with water.
- For gel and tablet detergents, if liquid detergent cap is not present, place in main wash compartment or directly in the drum.
- For starch, add liquid soda bicarbonate, powder soda, or fabric dye to the softener compartment. Do not use softener and starch together.
- For descaling, use products specifically for washing machines.
- For bleaches, add at the beginning of a prewash cycle or during the first rinse of a program with extra rinse. Do not mix bleach with detergent.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning extends product life and reduces problems.
Cleaning the Detergent Drawer:
- Clean every 4-5 washing cycles to prevent powder accumulation.
- Remove the siphon by lifting its rear part and pressing the dotted point.
- Wash the drawer and siphon with lukewarm water using a brush, wearing gloves.
- Reinsert the drawer properly.
Cleaning the Loading Door and Drum:
- For models with a drum cleaning program, refer to the "Operating the product - Programmes" section (recommended every 2 months).
- Use a suitable detergent/anti-limescale product for washing machines.
- After each wash, check for foreign substances in the drum.
- Clear blocked holes on the bellow using a toothpick.

Cleaning the Body and Control Panel:
- Wipe the body with soapy water or non-corrosive mild gel detergents, then dry with a soft cloth.
- Clean the control panel with a soft, damp cloth.
Cleaning the Water Intake Filters:
- Filters are located at the end of each water intake valve and hose connection.
- Close taps.
- Remove nuts of water intake hoses to access filters on valves; clean with a brush. If very dirty, remove with pliers.
- Take out filters on flat ends of hoses with gaskets; clean under running water.
- Replace seals and filters, then tighten nuts by hand.
Draining Remaining Water and Cleaning the Pump Filter:
- The pump filter prevents solid items from clogging the pump impeller.
- Clean the filter every 3 months or when clogged.
- Unplug the machine.
- Open the filter cover.
- Place a large vessel in front of the filter.
- Turn and loosen the pump filter counterclockwise to drain water.
- Remove the filter completely once water is drained.
- Clean residues and fibers around the pump impeller.
- Replace the filter and close the cap securely.
- If the product is not in use, shut off the tap, remove the mains pipe, and drain water to prevent freezing.
- Clean the filter only after the water inside has cooled down (risk of burning from hot water up to 90°C).
Troubleshooting:
The manual provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for common issues such as:
- Program not starting.
- Water in the machine.
- Machine entering standby mode or not taking in water.
- Machine not draining water.
- Machine vibrating or making noise.
- Water leaking from the bottom.
- Machine stopping shortly after program start.
- Machine discharging water immediately.
- No water visible during washing.
