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 COTTONS 95°, 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 NOT be
washed in this washing machine.

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.

Washing powder/tablets for the main wash cycle

If you are using water softener and require the right compartment for
detergent for the pre-wash cycle, add the water softener on top of the
detergent for the main wash cycle in the left compartment.

Softener, wash-care products to preserve the shape of garments,
starch

Fill the compartment to no more than the MAX indicator. Add water to
thick liquid concentrates in accordance with the manufacturer’s in­structions before using them. Dissolve powder starches.

If you are using liquid detergent:
Add liquid detergent using the dosage containers provided by the de­tergent manufacturer and place on top of the washing drum.

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.

32

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.
Warning! The water that comes out of the emergency drain hose may
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.

33

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.

7. Close off the emergency drain hose
and place it in the retainer.

All the different plug caps are sup­plied with the appliance in the plas­tic bag containing the instruction
booklet.

40

Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water
inlet”.

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.

• 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.

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.

41

Connecting to the water supply

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 0.5bar (=5N/cm2=0.05MPa) and
may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm

2

=1MPa).

– If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.
– If less than 0.5bar: 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.) Re-insert the filter.

Water inlet

Attention!

• An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.

• Do not use already employed hoses for water connection.

• This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.

1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.

2. Connect the hose with the angled

connection to the machine.

Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down­wards. Angle the hose to the left
or right depending on the position
of your water tap.

3. Set the hose correctly by loosening

the ring nut. After positioning the
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the
ring nut again to prevent leaks.

44

4. Connect the hose to a tap with a
3/4” thread.
Always use the hose supplied with
the appliance.

Installation should comply with local
water authority and building regula­tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op­eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water
connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate
the appliance from your cold water storage system.
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Aqua Control

The inlet hose is provided with a wa­ter stop device, which protects
against damage caused by water
leaks in the hose which could devel­op due to natural ageing of the
hose. This fault is shown by a red
sector in the window „A”. Should this
occur, turn the water tap off and re­fer to your Service Centre to replace
the hose.

45

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.

46

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.
