12

Adding detergent/additives

Warning! Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in

domestic washing machines.

1 For USA and Canada only!

Important! Only LOW-SUDSING detergent suitable for a front-loading
washing machine can be used in this machine. This machine can heat
the water up to 95 degrees celsius, or 200 degrees fahrenheit, and care
should be taken to ensure that the correct washing powder is used. If
you have any doubt, check with your dealer or the distributor.
WARRANTY AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARE VOIDED IF A LOW
SUDSING DETERGENT IS NOT USED.

Dose detergent and additives according to the instructions of the de­tergent and additive manufacturers. Follow the advice on the packag­ing.

Dosing depends upon:

– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the size of the load
– the degree of hardness of the water supply.

• If the manufacturer does not give instructions for small loads: for a

half load, use a third less, for a very small load, use only half of the
detergent that is recommended for a full load.

• From water hardness 2 (= medium) upwards, water softener should

be used. Detergent can then always be dosed for water hardness 1
(= soft). Your local water company will be able to give you informa­tion about the water hardness in your area.

1. Pull the detergent dispenser drawer out as far as the stop.

2. Add the detergent/additives.

3. Push the drawer in fully.

23

If the wash results are not satisfactory

Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum

• Too little detergent is being used.

• The right detergent was not used.

• Special soiling was not pre-treated.

• Programme or temperature was not correctly set.

There are grey stains on the washing.

• Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit-

tle detergent.

• It was washed at too low a temperature.

• A common cause is that fabric conditioner – especially a concentrate

– has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as
quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using
fabric conditioner.

After the last rinse foam can still be seen.

• Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The

washing is however sufficiently rinsed.

There are white residues on the washing.

• This is due to the insoluble ingredients in modern detergents.

They are not caused by 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.

24

Carrying out an emergency drain

1 Warning! Before emergency draining, switch off the washing machine

and remove the mains plug from the socket.
Warning! The water that comes out of the emergency drain hose may

be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing
an emergency drain.

1. Open the plinth flap and remove it.

2. Take out 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 runs out. If it is necessary

Where to install

Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a

danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is
not covered by the warranty.

• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm

and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor cov­erings.

• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean

and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance
does not slide.

• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with

small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.

Making the appliance level

The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually ad­justing the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.

Important! Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to lev­el out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.

Water inlet

Attention!

• An inlet hose is supplied and can been found inside the machine

drum.

• Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to

the water supply.

• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water system.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled

connection to the machine.

Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down­wards. Angle the hose to the left
or right depending on the position
of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening

the ring nut. After positioning the
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the
ring nut again to prevent leaks.

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a
3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.

38

Installation should comply with local
water authority and building regula­tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op­eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate
the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage

The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.

Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart­ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.

Draining water into a sink outlet

Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint
with a hose band clip (available from
your dealer).

Draining water into a wash basin/bath

1 Important!

– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-

ter may overflow.

– The end of the drain hose must

not be in the water that has been
pumped out. Otherwise water
could be sucked back into the ap­pliance.

– When draining into a wash basin

or a bath, secure the drain hose
with the supplied elbow to stop it
slipping. Otherwise the water run­ning out can force the hose out of
the basin.

– When pumping the water out,

check that the water is running
away fast enough.

Pumping heights over 1 m

The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.

Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage
to the appliance may arise.
