Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Danger of death!

Operating the appliance en
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.

machine. If necessary, immediately wipe
away spray residue and other residues/
droplets with a damp cloth.

components may break off and
cause injuries.
Do not lift the washing machine by
protruding parts.
■ If the hose and mains cables are not
routed properly, there is a risk of
tripping and injury.
Lay hoses and cables in such a way
that there is no risk of tripping.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance
Frozen hoses may rip/burst.
Do not install the washing machine in
areas exposed to frost or outdoors.
Caution!
Water damage
The connection points for the water
supply hose and water drain hose are
under high water pressure. To prevent
leaks and water damage, you must
follow the instructions in this section.

Secure the drain hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.
You can lay the water drain hose as
follows:
■ Outlet in a sink
:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high
temperatures, there is a risk of
scalding if you come into contact
with hot detergent solution e.g. if hot
detergent solution is being drained
into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot detergent
solution.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the drain hose is
immersed in the drained water, water
may be sucked back into the
appliance and may damage the
appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
– The plug does not block drainage
from the sink.
– The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
– The water drains away quickly
enough.
Positioning and connecting en
■ 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).
■ Outlet into a plastic pipe with
rubber bushing or into a drainage
pit

Incorrect levelling may result in intense
noise, vibrations and "wandering".

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.

do not adjust its height.
The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing.
Electrical connection
:Warning
Danger 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.

operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■ The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine

■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays this
symbol is used: z.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug must be freely
accessible at all times. If this is not
possible, in order to comply with the
relevant safety regulations, a switch
(2-pole switch-off) must be built into
the permanent installation in
accordance with electrical
installation regulations.
■ The mains cable is not bent,
squashed, modified, cut through, or
in contact with heat sources.
