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.
C
 If more than normal amount of water 
and 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. 
C
 Repeat Drum Cleaning process in 
every 2 months.
C
 Use an anti-limescale suitable for the 
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.
C
 Foreign metal substances in your 
machine 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.
A
 Never use sponge or scrub materials. 
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.
