Removing the transport safety devices

– Before using the appliance for the first time, the 4 transport safety

devices must be completely removed and kept safe. – If you need to transport the appliance at a later date, always refit the

transport safety devices to prevent damage to the machine. –> Page 6. – Store the screw and sleeve screwed together.

1. Take the hoses (depending on model) out of the holders and the elbow. Remove the elbow.

2. Unscrew and remove the bolts from all 4 transport safety devices.

3. Take the mains cable out of the holder. Remove the sleeves.

4. Insert the covers. Secure tightly by pressing on the snap-in hook. Insert the hose clip.

5. Secure the hoses in the hose clips.

Water connection depending on model

– Risk of electric shock. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water

(contains an electric valve). – To prevent leaks or water damage, observe the instructions in this section. – Caution: only operate the washing machine using cold drinking water. – Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler. – Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was

purchased from an authorised specialist retailer. – If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.

Water inlet

Water inlet hose:

Caution: do not kink, squash, modify or cut through (otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).

Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar)

– When the tap is on, the water flow is at least 8 l/min. – If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.

Model: AquaäStop

AquaäSecure

Standard

1. Connect the water inlet hose to the tap.

Caution: only tighten the screw connections by hand.

2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak tightness of the connection points.

Caution: the screw connection is under mains water pressure.

Water outlet

Water outlet hose:

Caution: do not kink or pull lengthways.

Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:

0 - max. 100 cm

Outlet into a sink

Caution: secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out. Caution: the plug must not block drainage from the sink. During pumping,

check whether the water is draining away quickly enough. The end of the drain hose must not be immersed in the water that is pumped out! This would result in the risk of water being sucked back into the washing machine!

Drainage into a siphon:

Caution: the connection point must be secured with a hose clamp, Ø 24-40 mm (specialist retailers).

Outlet into a plastic pipe with rubber bushing or into a drainage pit: Caution: secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.

Levelling

Intense noise, vibrations and “wandering” may be the result of incorrect levelling.

Levelling the washing machine with a spirit level

1. Loosen the lock nut using a spanner, by turning it in a clockwise direction.

2. Change the height by turning the appliance feet.

Caution: all four appliance feet must be firmly on the ground. The washing machine must not wobble.

Check the levelness of the washing machine with a spirit level and adjust if necessary.

3. Tighten the lock nut against the housing. In doing so, hold the foot tight and do not adjust its height.

Caution: the lock nuts on all four appliance feet must be screwed tightly against the housing.

Electrical connection

The washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current via a properly installed earthed socket.

The power supply and voltage indicated on the washing machine (rating plate) must be the same.

The connected load and fuse required are specified on the rating plate.

Make sure that: – the mains plug fits the socket, – the cable cross-section is adequate, – the earthing system is properly installed.

The mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician (if required). Replacement mains cables are available from customer services.

Do not use multiple plugs/couplings or extension cables.

If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays this symbol: ‚. Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable regulations.

Mains plug: – do not plug in to/pull out of the socket with damp hands. – when removing the plug from the socket, pull the plug body only, not the cable. – never pull the plug out during operation.

Transportation, e.g. when moving house

Before transporting the washing machine:

1. Turn off the tap.

2. Drain residual detergent solution> Instruction manual; Maintenance - drain pump.

3. Reduce the water pressure in the inlet hose



> Instruction manual; Maintenance - filter in

water inlet.

4. Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.

5. Disconnect the hoses.

Install the transport safety devices:

1. Remove the covers.

2. Insert all 4 sleeves.

Clamp the mains cable to the holders. Insert and tighten the screws.

After transportation, the transport safety devices must be removed. > Page 3.

To prevent unused detergent from flowing straight into the drain during the next wash: Pour 1 litre of water into compartment II and start the Empty programme.
