Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using the appliance for the first time

• Follow the “Installation and connection instructions”.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-

nus temperatures: store the washing machine at room temperature
for 24 hours before using for the first time.

Correct use

• The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do­mestic laundry at home.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit­ted.

• Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic
washing machines.

• The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of ex­plosion exists.

• Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.

• Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if

the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot
accept liability for any damage arising.

Child safety

• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.

• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical

appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu­pervised.

• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the
washing machine. The risk of death exists.

5

General safety

• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/
authorised service engineers.

• Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the
control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent
that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out
maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power
point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cut­out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup­ply and turn off the tap.

• Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the
cable. Always pull the plug.

• Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.

• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of
electric shock.

• When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in
the door will become hot. Do not touch it!

• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the
drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool
down.

• Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This
can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small
animals away from the washing machine.

that the drum is already full before the maximum load is reached.

2) Recommended load for short progammes is 3,5kg; full loading is possible however with somewhat reduced
cleaning results.

3) STAIN can only be selected with wash temperatures of 40°C and above, as stain treatment products are only

Setting the time

So that the current time and the end of the programme are correctly
displayed, please check the display and set the current time, if neces­sary. (See “Setting extra options: Timer”.)

Carrying out a wash programme prior to first use

Before doing your first wash, run a washing cycle without any washing
in the machine (programme LINEN/EASY-C. 60°, option TIME SAVING/
VERY QUICK, use approx. 1/4 measuring cup of washing powder).
This will remove any residues from the drum and water container which
have been left as a result of the production process.

Preparing and sorting washing

Preparing washing

• Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips,
nails, etc.).

• Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing.

• Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a

bag.

• Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains,
tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras.

Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be
washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appli­ance.

14

Sorting washing

• By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can
run.

• By temperature, type of washing and care symbol.

Important: Do not wash fabrics with the G care symbol (= do not
wash!) in the washing machine.

Adding detergent/conditioner

Important: Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use

in domestic washing machines.
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-

tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag­ing.

The amount of detergent used depends on:

– the washing’s degree of soiling,
– the load size
– the hardness of the tap water.

Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi­um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you
with information about water hardness in your area.

The suggested dosage in the display may therefore just be a guideline.

1. Pull out the detergent drawer as far as it will go.

2. Add the detergent/conditioner.

3. Push the detergent drawer in fully.

If the wash result is not satisfactory

The washing is grey and there are limescale deposits in the drum

• Too little detergent was used.

• An incorrect detergent was used.

• Individual stains were not pre-treated.

• The programme or temperature was not set properly.

There are grey stains on the washing

• Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using
too little detergent.

• The wash temperature used was too low.

• A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con-

centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out
such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said
conditioner.

Foam can still be seen following the final rinse

• Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi­nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.

There are white residues on the washing

• What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern deter­gents contain. They are not the result of insufficient rinsing.
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out
before washing. Check your choice of detergent. Especially with dark
colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.

31

Carrying out an emergency drain

1 Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency drain, switch off the

washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.

be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing
an emergency drain!

1. Open the plinth flap and remove it.

2. Remove the emergency drain hose.

3. Place a shallow container under-

neath it. Then loosen the drain plug
by turning it in an anti-clockwise
direction and pull it out.

4. The water will run out. If it is neces­sary to empty the container more
than once, seal up the emergency
drain hose with the drain plug while
you are doing so.

When the water has all drained away:

5. Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and turn it in a

clockwise direction until it is firmly in place.

6. Replace the emergency drain hose into the retainer.

7. Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.

32

Drain pump

The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being
pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked.
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for­eign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be
washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the wash­ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump
housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel).

1 Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the

washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.

1. First carry out an emergency drain.

2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump.

Residual water runs out.

3. Unscrew the pump cover in an anti­clockwise direction and remove it.

4. Remove foreign bodies and fluff
from the pump housing and from
the pump wheel.

5. Check whether the pump wheel
right at the back of the pump hous­ing can turn. (If the wheel rotates
with a jerky motion, this is normal.)
If the pumping wheel cannot be
turned, please contact your local
Service Force Centre.

6. Insert the pump cover. Insert the
guides at the sides of the cover into
the guide slots and tighten the cov­er by turning in a clockwise direc­tion.

(2 items) and C (1 item) in firmly so
that they snap into the rear wall.

Where to install

Important! The washing machine must not be operated in a room

where there is a danger of frost. There is a risk of frost damage or ad­verse effect on the perfomance of the machine. Frost damage is not
covered under the warranty.

• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm

and level. Do not install the appliance on carpeted floors or soft floor
coverings.

• The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean

and dry and free from grease, so that the appliance does not slide.

38

• If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with

small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under
the appliance.

If the appliance is to stand on a
base:

In order for the appliance to be se­cure on the base, fixing plates*)
must be mounted, into which the
appliance is inserted.

If the appliance is to stand on a floor which moves, e.g. a suspend­ed wooden floor:

Place the appliance in an area as close as possible to a corner of the
room.
Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at
least 2 of the floor joists.

Making the appliance level

3 Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing

machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance
gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot
guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds.
Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set.

The four feet of the appliance are
pre-adjusted.
Large degrees of unevenness can be
compensated for by individually ad­justing the height adjustable screw
feet.
Use the special spanner supplied to
do this.

Important Do not use pieces of
wood, cardboard or such like to lev­el out unevenness in the floor, but
adjust the height adjustable screw
feet instead.

39

Permanent Connection

In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a
double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply
(mains), with a minimum gap of 3mm between the switch contacts and
of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current
electrical regulations.
The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any
point.

This appliance complies with the requirements laid out in the EEC Di­rective 76/899.

Voltage 240 V AC: Fuse rating 13amps
See rating plate for further information.
This appliance meets VDE requirements.
Particular regulations of local electricity authorities must be observed.

This appliance conforms to EEC Directive No. 82/499/EWG on radio in­terference.

1 WARNING! Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by

trained personnel. Improper repairs may lead to serious risks for the us­er.

Connecting the appliance to the water
supply

Important:

• This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply.

• When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits.

• Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water

or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the require­ments of DIN1986 and DIN1988.

• Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2=0.1MPa), and
may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm

– If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from

the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition re­move the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket
behind it.) Replace the filter.

2

=1MPa).

41

Water inlet

A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.
If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are
to be used. Your local Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths.

3 Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose

fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing
rings.

Important! All threaded hose fit­tings must only be tightened by
hand.

1. Connect the hose with the right-an­gle connector to the machine.

Important! Do not position the inlet
hose vertically downwards. Position
it to the right or the left as shown in
the illustration.

2. Connect the hose with the straight
connector to a water tap with an R
¾ (inch) screw thread.

3. Slowly turn on the tap and check
that all connections are watertight.

42

Water Drainage

The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia­gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and
standpipe.

Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
When discharging into a stand-

pipe ensure that the top of the
curve in the hose end is no more
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor
level.

The upright standpipe should
have a minimum, length of 30 cm
(12’’) from the bottom of the el­bow to the top of the pipe (see
diagram). Make sure that it is de­signed in such a way that the end
of the drain hose cannot be cov­ered with water.
Longer drain hoses are available
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres
from your Service Force Centre.

For drainage into an outlet
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not

been used before, remove any blank­ing plug that may be in place. Push
the drain hose onto the spigot and
secure with a clip if required. Ensure
the drain hose is looped upwards to
prevent waste water from the sink
entering the washing machine.

Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the
appliance.

43

Pumping heights of over 1 metre

The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of
1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.

Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam­age to the appliance may arise.

For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.
Please contact Service Force Centre.
