■ The selectable temperatures apply
to the care labels on the textiles. The
temperatures in the machine may
deviate from this so that you get the
optimum mix of energy-saving and
washing results.
■ Information about the energy
consumption
*
:
The display provides information
about the relative energy
consumption in the selected
programs.
The more indicator lights light up,
the higher the program's
consumption.
This enables you to compare the
consumption levels of the different
programs when choosing your
program settings and to decide on
an energy- and water-saving
program setting.
■ Energy-saving mode: The display
panel light goes out after several
minutes, Start button flashes. Press
any button to activate the light.
Energy-saving mode is not activated
if a programme is running.
■ If the washing will be dried in a
dryer, select the spin speed

Positioning and connecting en
Water inlet
Notes
■ Do not bend, squash, modify or 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.
Optimum water pressure in the mains: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 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.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the
water tap (¾" = 26.4 mm) and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop
models):
■ Aquastop
■ Standard
Water outlet
Caution!
Water damage
If the drain hose slips out of the wash
basin 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.
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.
Carefully turn on the tap and check that
the connection points are not leaking.
Note: The screw connection is under
water pipe pressure.
15
Page 16
en Positioning and connecting
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.
■ 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
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.

or components in the washing machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when
preparing your laundry:
■ Empty pockets.
■ Look out for metal items (paperclips,
etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Close any zips, button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:

■ 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 can be found in the
chapter ~ Page 23
– Light: Do not prewash; if
necessary, select the additional
programme setting GSpeed
Perfect.
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less washing, 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.

:Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with

Notes
■ Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■ Observe the maximum indicated
load. Overfilling adversely affects the
washing result and encourages
creasing.
1. Unfold presorted laundry items and
place them in the washing drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the door and
the rubber seal, and close the door.
Measure and add detergent and care products
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.

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

come into contact with detergents or
care products.
If swallowed accidentally, seek
medical advice.
2. Add detergent and/or care products.
