Removing the transport braces

– Before using the appliance for the first time, make sure that you

completely remove transport braces and keep them for subsequent

transportation. – If you need to transport the appliance at a later date, always re-affix the

transport braces to prevent damage to the machine. –> page 6. – Store the screw and sleeve screwed together.

1. Take the hoses out of the holders.

2. Loosen all 3 screws ...

... until they can move freely in the sleeves.

3. Remove all 3 transport braces completely and take the mains cable out of the holders, depending on the model.

4. Affix the covers.

Water connection depending on model

– Risk of electric shock. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water

(contains an electric valve).

– To prevent leaks or water damage, observe the instructions in this

section. – Caution: only operate the washing machine using cold drinking water. – Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler. – Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was

purchased from an authorised specialist dealer. – If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.

Water inlet

Water inlet hose:

Caution: do not bend, squash, modify or cut through (otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).

Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100ä1,000 kPa (1ä10 bar)

– When the tap is on, the water flow is at least 8 l/min. – If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

Model: AquaäStop

AquaäSecure

Standard

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the tap.

Caution: only tighten the screw connections by hand.

2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the connection points.

Caution: the screw connection is under mains water pressure.

Water outlet

Water outlet hose:

Caution: do not bend or pull lengthways.

Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:

– for AquaäSecure and Standard models: min. 60 cm - max. 100 cm

– for AquaäStop model: 0 - max. 100 cm

Outlet in a sink

Caution: secure the drain hose from slipping out. Caution: the plug must not block drainage from the sink. During

pumping, check whether the water is draining away quickly enough. The end of the drain hose must not be immersed in the water pumped out. This risks water being sucked back into the washing machine.

Outlet into a plastic pipe with rubber bushing or into a drainage pit:

Caution: secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

Drainage into a siphon:

Caution: the connection point must be secured with a hose clamp, Ø 24-40 mm (exclusive dealers).

Alignment

Intense noise formation, vibrations and “wandering” may be the result of incorrect alignment.

Aligning the washing machine with a spirit level

1. Loosen the lock nut using a wrench, by turning it in a clockwise direction.

2. Change the height by turning the appliance feet.

Caution: all four appliance feet must be firmly on the ground. The washing machine must not wobble.

Check the alignment of the washing machine with a spirit level and adjust if necessary.

3. Tighten the lock nut against the housing. In doing so, hold the foot tight and do not adjust its height.

Caution: the lock nuts on all four appliance feet must be screwed tightly against the housing.

Electrical connection

The washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current via a properly installed earthed socket.

The power supply and voltage indicated on the washing machine (rating plate) must be the same.

The connected load and fuse required are specified on the rating plate.

Make sure that: – the mains plug fits the socket, – the cable cross-section is adequate, – the earthing system is properly installed.

(If this is necessary), the mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician. Replacement mains cables are available from the after-sales service.

Do not use multiple plugs/couplings or extension cables.

If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays this

symbol: ³.

Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable regulations.

Do not plug in or unplug the mains plug with wet hands. Pull the appliance plug out of the socket at the plug only, not by the cable.

Transportation, e.g. when moving home

Before transporting the washing machine:

1. Turn off the tap.

2. Drain residual water −> Operating instructions; Maintenance - drain pump.

3. Release the water pressure in the inlet hose −> Operating instructions; Maintenance - filter in

water inlet.

4. Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.

5. Dismantle the hoses.

Preparing and installing transport braces:

1. Remove the two lower covers.

2. Affix the two lower transport braces. In doing so, turn the bend on

the hose holders inwards. Clamp the mains cable in the holders. Tighten the screws.

After transportation, the transport braces must be removed. −–> page 3.

To prevent unused detergent from flowing straight into the drain during the next wash: Pour 1 litre of water into compartment II and start the Empty programme.

After-sales service

Before you call the after-sales service, please make sure that you cannot remedy the fault yourself −> Operating instructions; What to do if...

You will be charged if a technician is called out, even during the warranty period.

You can find your nearest after-sales service in the enclosed list. Please give the after-sales service the product number (E no.) and the production number (FD) of the appliance.

Product number Production number

You will find the identification plate containing this information on the frame of the loading door when the door is open, and in the thicklybordered area of the rating plate on the back of the appliance.

Please help us to avoid unnecessary call-outs by quoting the product and production numbers. This will also save you the associated additional costs.

Aqua-Stop warranty only for appliances with Aqua-Stop

1. If a fault in our Aqua-Stop system causes water damage, we will reimburse damages caused to private customers.

2. The liability guarantee is valid for the service life of the appliance.

3. It is a prerequisite of all warranty claims that the appliance with Aqua-Stop must have been

4. Appliances with Aqua-Stop do not need to be supervised during operation, nor secured afterwards by turning off the tap. The tap only needs to be turned off if you are away from home for a long period, e.g. for several weeks' holiday.
