Installing the appliance in a kitchenette

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live components. Do not remove the appliance covering plate.
Notes
Recess width of 60 cm required.
Only install the washing machine
underneath a continuous worktop that is securely connected to adjacent cabinets.

Removing the transport locks

Caution! Damage to the appliance

:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you touch live components. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety valve in water (it contains an electric valve).
Notes
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot­water boiler.
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.
When connecting to a 21 mm = ½"
tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing washer from 21 mm = ½" to
26.4 mm = ¾". *supplied depending on the model
When the tap is open, the water flow rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed.

Connection

Connect the water supply hose to the tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop models as this is permanently installed):

Water outlet

:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When you are washing at high temperatures, there is a risk of scalding if you come into contact with hot water (e.g. when draining hot water into a washbasin). Do not reach into the hot water.
Caution! Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the washbasin or the connection point during draining due to high water pressure, any escaping water may cause water damage. Secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.
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 washbasin.
The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
The water drains away quickly
enough.

Connection

Drainage into a washbasin
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).
Drainage into a plastic pipe with
rubber bushing or into a drainage pit
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or put strain on it lengthways.

en Positioning and connecting

Levelling

Align the appliance using a spirit level. Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibrations and machine "movement".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17
spanner, 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. The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against the housing using a suitable WAF17 spanner. In doing so, hold the foot tight and do not adjust its height.

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.
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 customer services.
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. 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 kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.
