General safety
• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/
authorised service engineers.
• Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the
control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent
that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out
maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power
point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cutout in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.
• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and turn off the tap.
• Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the
cable. Always pull the plug.
• Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.
Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.
• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of
electric shock.
• When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in
the door will become hot. Do not touch it!
• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the

• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a
bag.
• Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains,
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.
Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appliance.
10
Sorting washing
• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.

temperature too high
Important! Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use
in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/conditioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packaging.
The amount of detergent used depends on:
– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.
• If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-
gard to small volumes of washing: for a half-load use a third less, and
for a very small load use only half the amount of detergent that is
recommended for a full load.
• Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.

• Too little detergent was used.
• An incorrect detergent was used.
• Individual stains were not pre-treated.
• The programme or temperature was not set properly.
There are grey stains on the washing
• Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using
too little detergent.
• The wash temperature used was too low.

Foam can still be seen following the final rinse
• Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi-
nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.
There are white residues on the washing
• What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern deter-
gents contain. They are not the result of insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.
Carrying out an emergency drain
1Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency drain, switch off the

2. Remove the emergency drain hose.
3. Place a shallow container under-
neath it. Then loosen the drain plug
by turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction and pull it out.
4. The water will run out. If it is necessary to empty the container more
than once, seal up the emergency
drain hose with the drain plug while
you are doing so.
When the water has all drained away:
5. Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and turn it in a
clockwise direction until it is firmly in place.
6. Replace the emergency drain hose into the retainer.
7. Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.

pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being
pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no foreign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be
washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the washing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump
housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel).
1Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.
1. First carry out an emergency drain.
2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump.

Connecting the appliance to the water
supply
30
Important:
• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply.
• When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits.
• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water
or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.
Permitted water pressure
The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2=0.1MPa), and
may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm
– If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from
the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition remove the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
behind it.) Replace the filter.

=1MPa).
Water inlet
A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are
to be used. Your local Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths.
3Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose
fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing
rings.
Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by
hand.
1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine.
Important! Do not position the inlet
hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.
2. Connect the hose with the straight
connector to a water tap with an R
¾ (inch) screw thread.
3. Slowly turn on the tap and check
that all connections are watertight.
31
Water Drainage
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
When discharging into a stand-
pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no more
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor
level.
The upright standpipe should
have a minimum, length of 30 cm
(12’’) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see
diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end
of the drain hose cannot be covered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres
from your Service Force Centre.
For drainage into an outlet
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not
been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push
the drain hose onto the spigot and
secure with a clip if required. Ensure
the drain hose is looped upwards to
prevent waste water from the sink
entering the washing machine.
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the
appliance.
32
Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and damage to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact Service Force Centre.
