Removing the transport braces
– Before using the appliance for the first time, make sure that you
completely remove transport braces and keep them for subsequent
transportation.
– If you need to transport the appliance at a later date, always re-affix the
transport braces to prevent damage to the machine apage 6.
– Store the screw and sleeve screwed together.
1. Take the hoses and elbow out of the holders, depending on model.
2. Loosen the bolts ....
... until they move freely in the sleeves.
3. Completely remove all 4 transportation protection devices (each bolt
together with sleeve) and take the main cable out of the holder.
Always displace bolt and sleeve together as shown in the illustration.
All bolts and sleeves must be removed.
4. Insert covers.
4
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 dealer.
– If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.
Water inlet
Water inlet hose:
Caution: do not bend, squash, modify or cut through
(otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100ä1,000 kPa (1ä10 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 bend or pull lengthways.
Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:
min. 60 cm - max. 100 cm
Outlet in a sink
Caution: secure the drain hose from slipping 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 pumped
out. This risks 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 (exclusive dealers).

Alignment
Intense noise formation, vibrations and “wandering” may be the result of incorrect
alignment.
Aligning the washing machine with a spirit level
1. Loosen the lock nut using a wrench, 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 alignment 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
ʑThe washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current via a
properly installed earthed socket.
ʑThe power supply and voltage indicated on the washing machine (rating plate)
must be the same.
ʑThe connected load and fuse required are specified on the rating plate.
ʑMake sure that:
– the mains plug fits the socket,
– the cable cross-section is adequate,
– the earthing system is properly installed.
ʑ(If this is necessary), the mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified
electrician.
Replacement mains cables are available from the after-sales service.
ʑDo not use multiple plugs/couplings or extension cables.
ʑIf 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.
ʑDo not plug in or unplug the mains plug with wet hands.
Pull the appliance plug out of the socket at the plug only, not by the cable.

Transportation, e.g. when moving home
Before transporting the washing machine:
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Release the water pressure in the inlet hose aOperating instructions; Maintenance - filter
in water inlet.
3. Drain residual water aOperating instructions; Maintenance - drain pump.
4. Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.
5. Dismantle the hoses.
Preparing and installing transport braces:
1. Remove the covers.
2. Insert all 4 transportation protection devices and clamp the mains cable
to the holders. Tighten the bolts.
After transportation, the transport braces must be removed apage 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.
