immersed in the drained water.
■ The water drains away quickly
enough.
Notes
■ Do not kink the water drain hose or
put strain on it lengthways.
■ Height difference between the
installation surface and the drain:
min. 60 cm, max. 100 cm
You can lay the water drain hose as
follows:
■ Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24–40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the outlet hose so that it cannot
slip out.

Positioning and connecting en
Levelling
Level the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect levelling may result in intense
noise, vibrations and "wandering".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a
wrench, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2. Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
3. Tighten the lock nut against the
housing.
In doing so, hold the foot tight and
do not adjust its height.
The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing.
Electrical connection
:Warning
Risk of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
■ Never touch or hold the mains plug
with wet hands.
■ Only pull out the mains cable by the
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
■ Never unplug the mains plug during
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■ The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
■ The washing machine is only
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
■ The mains plug fits the socket.
■ The cable cross-section is adequate.
■ The earthing system is properly
installed.
■ The mains cable is only replaced by
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from the aftersales service.
■ No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug can be accessed at
all times.
■ The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
■ The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.
Before washing for the first time
The washing machine was thoroughly
tested before leaving the factory. To
remove any residues from the product
and to remove water that may be left
over from the test, run the first wash
cycle without any laundry.
Note: The washing machine must be
correctly installed and connected.

Preparing the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components in the washing machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when
preparing your laundry:
■ Empty any pockets.
■ Check for metal items (paper clips,
etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
■ Close any zips, button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry can discolour or not
be cleaned correctly. Wash white
and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels:
~ "Saving energy and detergent"
on page 24
– Light: Do not prewash; select the
Speed setting if necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry; select
a programme with prewash
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. Firstly, dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Risk of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly
beforehand.
Notes
■ Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual items of
laundry may lead to imbalances.
■ Observe the specified maximum
load. Overfilling has a negative
impact on the washing result and
promotes creasing.
1. Place presorted items of laundry
unfolded in the washing drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the washing
machine door and the rubber seal,
and close the door.

Caution!
Damage to the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers,
prewash sprays, etc.) may cause
damage if they come into contact with
the surfaces of the washing machine.
Do not allow these agents to come into
contact with the surfaces of the washing
machine. If necessary, immediately wipe
away spray residue and other residues/
droplets with a damp cloth.
Dosing
Dose the detergents and care products

■ Water hardness (ask your water
supply company)
■ The manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging
■ The amount of laundry
■ Soiling
