Installing the appliance in a kitchenette
Removing the transport bolts
Caution!
Damage to the appliance

transportation using transport bolts.
If the transport bolts are not
removed, the machine may become
damaged when it is operated.
Before using the appliance for the
first time, make sure that you
completely remove all four transport
bolts. Keep the bolts in a safe place.
■ To prevent transport damage from
occurring if the appliance is moved
at a later date, you must refit the
transport bolts before transporting
the appliance.
Note: To avoid injury, take care when
handling these.
1. Use a spanner to loosen all fixing
bolts until they turn freely.
2. All four parts will fall to the floor
when you tip the machine.
:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Do not remove the appliance covering
plate.
Notes

Notes
■ To prevent leakage or water
damage, follow the instructions in
this section!
■ Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water. Do not
connect to the mixer tap of an
unpressurised hot-water apparatus.
■ Do not remove the water inlet hose
frequently as the loose connection
will lead to leaks. We recommend
that you use a water inlet hose that is
specially made for the machine.
■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not kink or squash the water
supply hose.
■ Do not alter (shorten, cut through)
the water supply hose (otherwise its
strength is no longer guaranteed).
■ Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may become
damaged.
■ If in doubt, have the appliance
connected by a technician.
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
