Cleaning the Detergent Drawer
When to clean
- When you open the dosing tank cover and see a thickened non-fluid detergent or softener,
- If you are not satisfied with the washing results, it may be that the detergent or softener has become stiff and therefore cannot be taken into the washing area,
- If the liquid in the tank does not decrease although dosing is selected and you do not load detergents or softeners for a long time,
- If you want to change the washing ingredients you have filled in the chamber (for example, if you are not satisfied with the detergent and do not want to use it) or if you have done incorrect loading (for example, if you have placed detergent or softener in the detergent tank),
- If a different brand of detergent or softener will be added,
- If a washing agent with different specifications (e.g. if detergent is added for coloured ones when there is detergent in the tank for whites) is added,
- If a different-concentration washing agent is added (to avoid wasting the previously filled detergent, you can put them in the powder detergent compartment in the next washing and consume it by selecting the «powder detergent active» position on the screen.)
- If the new softener has the same specifications but only a different scent, (it should be noted that the scent of the mixture will be different if it is added without cleaning the remaining softener),
- If it is not going to be used for a long time (e.g. at the time of moving to the summer house and at the time of return, for 3 months or more), the liquid washing agent may become denser and may become stiffer at the end, and may not make dosing although the system indicates full.
Cleaning:
Before starting cleaning, unplug your appliance by pressing the On/Off button.
WARNING
It is recommended to wear a suitable glove so that you do not come into direct contact with the detergent and other washing materials that you will empty from the detergent drawer.
- Press the blue part in the middle of the detergent drawer to pull it towards you and remove it.
- Remove the drain stick located at the back of the drawer from its slot.
- Place the slot behind the detergent drawer to be emptied towards the inside of the compartment to be emptied.
- Gently push the drain stick into the slot behind the detergent compartment.
- The detergent will start to pour into the container.
- The same is carried out for the softener compartment.
- The guides holding the top cover of the detergent drawer are removed with a flathead screwdriver (there are total of 6 guides, two each on the right, left and back of the drawer) and the inside of the drawer is washed.
- After the completion of the washing process, the cover is inserted to the drawer. Make sure that all guides are in place. If the guides do not fit, liquid may spill from the drawer, or the detergent box may get trapped in the drawer rail or move in difficulty. Therefore, make sure that the guides are firmly seated.
- Insert the drain stick back into its slot in the back of the drawer.
- Refit the drawer by paying attention to its slot and slides and push the drawer to close. Once detergents and softeners are added, they will be ready for use in dosed programs.
