 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 water (e.g. when draining hot water into a washbasin). Do not reach into the hot water. 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 prevent
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 retailers).

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.
Electrical connection
: Warning
Risk 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.

www.devicemanuals.eu/
Positioning and connecting en
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 the aftersales service.  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.  The mains cable is not kinked, squashed, altered or cut through.  The mains cable does not come into contact with heat sources.
Before washing for the first time
The washing machine was thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. To remove any residues from the product and to remove water that may be left over from the test, run the first wash cycle without any laundry.

17

en Positioning and connecting
Note: The washing machine must be correctly installed and connected. ~ Page 12

Note: To prevent foaming, only use half the amount of detergent recommended by the detergent manufacturer. Do not use detergents designed for wool or delicates. 10. Close the detergent drawer. 11. Press the Start Reload A button. 12. When the programme ends, switch off the appliance. Your washing machine is now ready to use.
Transportation
e.g. when moving home
Preparatory work: 1. Turn off the water tap. 2. Reduce the water pressure in the
supply hose. ~ "Filter in the water supply is blocked" on page 35 3. Drain the remaining detergent solution. ~ "Drain pump is blocked" on page 34

www.devicemanuals.eu/
4. Disconnect the washing machine from the mains.
5. Remove the hoses. Installing the transport locks: 1. Remove the covers and keep them
in a safe place. Use a screwdriver if necessary.
2. Insert all four sleeves. Clip the mains cable securely in the holders. Insert and tighten the screws.
Before switching on the appliance again: Notes  The transport locks must be
removed. ~ "Removing the transport locks" on page 14  To prevent unused detergent from flowing straight into the drain during the next wash: Pour approx. 1 litre of water into compartment II and start the Drain/Empty programme.

Preparing yrdnuaL the laundry
Caution! Damage to the appliance/fabrics Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paper clips, needles, nails) may damage the laundry or components in the washing machine.
Therefore, note the following tips when preparing your laundry:  Empty any pockets.

www.devicemanuals.eu/
 Check for metal items (paper clips, etc.) and remove them.
 Wash delicates in a laundry bag (tights, underwired bras, etc.).
 Remove curtain fittings or place curtains in a laundry bag.
 Close any zips, button up any cover buttons.
 Brush sand out of pockets and collars.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care instructions and manufacturer's information on the care labels, depending on:  Type of fabric/fibre  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: ~ "Saving energy and detergent" on page 24 ­ Light: Do not prewash; select the
Speed setting if necessary ­ Normal ­ Heavy: Load less laundry; select
a programme with prewash

22

­ 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.
 Symbols on the care labels Note: The numbers in the symbols indicate the maximum washing temperature that may be used.
M Suitable for normal washing process; e.g. Cottons programme
N A gentle washing process is required; e.g. Easy-Care programme
O An especially gentle washing process is required; e.g. Delicate/Silk programme
W Suitable for washing by hand; e.g. Wool programme
Z Do not machine wash.
Starching
Note: Laundry must not be treated with fabric softener.
Starching with liquid starch is possible in programmes such as Rinse and Cottons. Dose starch into compartment M (if required, clean it beforehand) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Dyeing/bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal household quantities. Salt may damage stainless steel. Always follow the dye manufacturer's instructions.
Do not use the washing machine to bleach clothes.

Placing laundry into the drum
: Warning
Risk of death! Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine. Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.
Notes  Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle. Individual items of laundry may lead to imbalances.  Observe the specified maximum load. Overfilling has a negative impact on the washing result and promotes creasing.
1. Place presorted items of laundry unfolded in the washing drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry are trapped between the washing machine door and the rubber seal, and close the door.
The Start Reload A button indicator lamp flashes to indicate that the washing programme can be started. It is possible to change the settings.
