Safety precautions
General
Please read the instruction manual and save it for future
reference.
•Please do not use the washing machine if you have not
read and understood these instructions or use first.
•Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate
use of the washing machine may result in damage to the
laundry or the appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the
instruction manual handy, near the washing machine.
•The appliance has to be connected to the water and power
supply by a trained expert.
•Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or
performance should be done by trained experts.
•To avoid hazard, damaged power cord may only be replaced
by the manufacturer, authorized service technician, or other
authorized person.
•After installation, the washing machine should stand still for
two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
•The washing machine may not be connected to the power
mains using an extension cord.
•Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet
intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
4

•To connect the washing machine to water supply, make sure
to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets. Water
pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1 MPa (approximately
1–10 kp/cm2, 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/cm2).
•Always use a new water supply hose to connect the
appliance to water supply; do not reuse an old water supply
hose.
•After the washing cycle, close the water tap and pull out
the washing machine plug from the power socket.
If you have a washing machinewith a 3-phase connection,
do not pull the plug out of the power outlet.
•Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as
described in the instruction manual. The machine is not
intended for dry cleaning.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the
cost of any damage.
•Only use detergents intended for the washing machine!
•Only use agents for machine washing and care of laundry.
We shall not be responsible for any damages or
discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from
incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.
•Bleaches that contain chlorine can be replaced with
oxygen-based bleaches. Otherwise, a neutralization cycle
should be performed by running the Cotton program at the
highest temperature. For best results, use hydrogen peroxide
or oxygen-based detergents.
5

•Do not use colourants (dyes) or bleaching substances
(substances for discolouration or removal of colourants) as
they contain sulphuric compounds that could cause
corrosion.
•Excessive use of products containing chlorine compounds
increases the risk of premature failure of appliance
components. This depends on the concentration of chlorine,
exposure time, and temperature.
•DANGER OF FIRE!
Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could
lead to release of poisonous gases, damage to the
machine, and risk of fire and explosion.
•Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the
transport bolts and all other transport protection devices.
See chapter "BEFORE FIRST USE/Transport protection".
•The machine is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with physical or mental impairments, or persons
with lacking experience and knowledge. These persons
should be instructed about the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
•Emergency door opening tool is located on the back side of
the dispenser.
•Maximum washing capacity in kg is indicated on the rating
plate (or in the PROGRAM TABLE).
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications, such as:
6

•staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
•farm houses;
•by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
•bed and breakfast type environments;
•areas for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes.
For appliances without plug, disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
Child safety
•Do not allow small children to play with the washing machine.
•Before closing the washing machine door and running the
program, make sure there is nothing except laundry in the
drum (e.g. if a child climbed into the washing machine drum
and closed the door from the inside).
•Keep the detergent and conditioner out of reach of children.
•Activate the child lock. See chapter: SETTINGS
•Do not let children younger than three years come near
the appliance, unless they are under constant
supervision.
7

•The washing machine is made in compliance with all relevant
safety standards. This washing machine may be used by
children aged 8 years and above and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, but only if they are supervised
during the use of the appliance, if they have been provided
relevant instructions regarding safe use of the washing
machine, and if they understand the hazards of inappropriate
use. Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Make
sure the children do not clean the washing machine or
perform any maintenance tasks without supervision.
Danger of hot surface
•At higher washing temperatures, the door glass will heat up.
Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play
near the door glass.
Overflow guard function
If the water level in the appliance rises above the normal level,
then the excessive water level protection will be activated.
It will shut off the water supply and start pumping out the water.
If the water level does not decrease in 60 seconds, the program
will be interrupted (see chapter "ERRORS –WHAT TO DO?").
Transporting/storage during the winter
If you transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms that
are not heated and where the temperature could drop to below
freezing point, please do the following:
•Clean the drain pump filter. See chapter "CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE".
8

•Close the water supply to the washing machine, undo the
water supply hose from the water supply tap, and wait until
the water flows out of the tap and the hose.
•After the drain pump filter is emptied, there can still be a
small amount of water in the machine. This, however, does
not affect the quality and will not damage the appliance.
•If the washing machine is to be transported, transport
protection has to be re-installed before transport (see chapter
"BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME").

Cleaning
Disconnect the washing machine from the power mains and open the door. Clean the washing machine
drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
In the case of a 3 phase connection of the appliance, switch off the main socket switch.
Connect the washing machine to the power mains and run the dedicated drum cleaning program.
See chapter "WASHING PROCESS; STEP BY STEP (1–8)" /STEP 5: CHOOSE THE PROGRAM.
INFORMATION!
No program can be started while the door is open.
Settings before first use
When the dryer is connected (see chapter "INSTALLATION AND CONECTION") and switched on for
the first time, choose the preferred language:
For further washing process, see chapter "WASHING PROCESS STEP BY STEP".
INFORMATION!
The amount of detergent also depends on the hardness of water. For details, see the detergent
packaging. Please contact your local water supply company to check the water hardness in your
area.
INFORMATION!
Before the product is dispatched from the factory, every appliance is tested.
As a result, there may be some residual water left in the discharge pump filter. This, however,
does not affect the quality and will not damage the appliance.
13

Installation and connection
Positioning the washing machine
The washing machine can be installed as a built-in (integrated) or a free-standing unit. Place the
machine on a level surface so that the power outlet on the wall is accessible.
INFORMATION!
Before connecting the washing machine to the power mains, wait for at least 2 hours until it
reaches room temperature.
Surface for positioning
The most suitable surface for installation is concrete. Unlike wooden floors or other floor coverings
with "soft" characteristics, concrete rarely vibrates during spinning.
*The washing machine must be installed in a vertical and stable position
*Do not place the washing machine on soft floor coverings, otherwise it will vibrate during spinning.
Built-in washing machine
The washing machine can be integrated under a worktop with a height of 900–950 mm. Leave 5 cm
of room around the entire appliance, including between the back edge of the upper cover and the wall
behind it.
Washing machine installation clearances
14

Opening the washing machine door (top view)
Stacking a dryer on top of a washing machine
To stack a dryer on top of a washing machine, use the extra vacuum feet and the tipping guard (A+B),
supplied in the cardboard box in the dryer drum.
15

Adjusting the feet
Place the washing machine so that it is stable.
1. Level the washing machine in longitudinal and
traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet
(using a No. 32 spanner).
The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 cm.
2. When the appropriate height of feet is set, use
the wrench No. 17 to firmly fasten the
counter-nuts towards the bottom of the
appliance .
3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) to the end
position.
This will reduce washing machine noise,
vibration, movement etc. to minimum.
Moving the washing machine and transport after installation
If you are moving the washing machine without packaging, open the washing machine door and pull
the appliance by holding the washing assembly, as indicated in the figure.
For any further moving of the appliance, use the transport rods (the washing machine drum has to be
blocked).
(See chapter TRANSPORT PROTECTION.)
Connection to water supply
INFORMATION!
The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person.
Use the water supply hose to connect the appliance. Water pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1
MPa (approximately 1–10 kp/cm2, 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/cm2).
If the hoses are newly installed, we recommend rinsing them to remove any impurities. Otherwise,
these impurities could clog the filter in the water connection on the washing machine and thus cut off
the water supply.
16

The water intake hose has to be fastened firmly enough for the hose to have a good seal.
After connecting the hose, the seal must be checked for any leaks.
Only use the water supply hose supplied with the appliance. Do not use any used or other hoses.
INFORMATION!
If the connection on the supply hose is of different dimensions than the water tap (e.g. 3/4”→
1/2”), use an adapter.
Connecting to hot/cold water supply
(Only available in some models)
If your appliance has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold
water connection and the other hose to the hot water connection, as indicated on the back of the
appliance:
COLD = cold and HOT = hot.
Hot water is supplied for programs operating at 40 °C or more.
INFORMATION!
Connecting to both hot and cold water will save time and electric energy when washing.
If your washing machine model has connections for both hot and cold water, and you only wish to
connect cold water, then the protective cap has to be (or remain) attached to the hot water connection.
Installing the drain hose
Upon delivery, the appliance has a drain hose attached. This drain hose must be connected to a drain.
Drain hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to
allow cleaning. The height of the drain should be 600–900 mm above the floor. The lower position
(600 mm) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not clipped or bent.
