standing. It should be positioned so that there
is an electrical socket within easy reach.
A. Built-in
The washing machine can be built in under a
worktop with a working height of 850–900 mm.
Leave a 5 mm gap around the machine. This
also applies between the rear edge of the top
the machine and the wall behind.
B. Free-standing
The washing machine can be placed alongside
or underneath the tumble dryer.
The machine can be anchored to the floor, see
enclosed bag containing instructions and parts.
ADJUSTING THE FEET
Adjust the feet so that the machine is level and
steady on the floor.
Tighten the lock-
ing nuts.
CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY
The machine should be connected to the water
supply by someone who has the necessary skill.
The machine is connected using the supplied
inlet hose.
NOTE!
It is important that you use the inlet hose that
is supplied, not an old hose.
The water pressure must be 0.1–1 MPa
(about 1–10 kp/cm2; 10–100 N/cm2).
The water supply pipe must be fitted with a
shut-off valve.
If the supply pipe has just been installed we
recommend that it is flushed out thoroughly

8
to use mixed hot and cold water (E).
A letter C near the bottom right of the dis-
play shows that cold water is being used, H
shows the intake for US mentioned above and
the letter E indicates mixed hot and cold.
CONNECTING TO THE DRAIN
Machine with drain pump
The machine is supplied with a drain hose al-
ready fitted and this should be connected to a
laundry sink, or the like, at a height of 600–900
mm above the floor.

a permanently installed cable through an isola-
ting switch by a qualified electrician.
Power supply
The machine is supplied, depending on market,
for one of the following supplies (see rating
plate):
A. 3-phase, 400V, 50 Hz supply, 10 A.
B. Single-phase, 230 V, 50 Hz supply, 13/16 A.
C. Single-phase, 230 V, 50 Hz supply, 10 A.
If an earth leakage circuit breaker is fitted it
must be of type A.
Reconfiguration

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WASHING MACHINE
CONNECTING TO A COIN MECHANISM
Connection to a coin mechanism must be car-
ried out by a qualified electrician.
A special connecting cable is required to con-
nect the machine to a coin mechanism.
Recommendations for choice of coin mechanism
The connecting cable supplies the coin mecha-
nism with power (230 V). The coin mechanism
must be able to short-circuit two signal leads
for a period of time (around 0–10 minutes).
This is so that the user has time to load the
laundry, select the programme and start the pro-
gramme after inserting the coins.

GENERAL
• Read and keep this manual!
• Any electrical work must be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
USING THE DRYER FOR THE FIRST TIME
When you start the dryer for the first time, or if
it has not been used for a long time, you may
hear a faint clunking noise. This is entirely nor-
mal and will disappear after a few cycles.
CHILD LOCK ON BUTTON
To prevent accidental button pushes on the
button you can activate the child
lock function. The button then must
be held in for three seconds to activate the mach-
ine.
THERMAL CUT-OUT
The tumble dryer is protected by a thermal cut-
out. This switches off the machine if it gets too
hot.
FLOAT (only applies to condenser dryer)
A float switches off the machine if there is a
blockage in the condensed water hose.
SAFETY
DOOR
The tumble dryer has a magnetic lock, which
makes it easy to open the door from the outside
or inside. The door is fitted with a switch that
automatically switches off the tumble dryer
when the door is opened. The tumble dryer
does not start automatically when the door is
closed (for example if a child pulls the door
closed from the inside).
PACKAGING
Recycle the packaging according to recommen-
dations in your area.
SCRAPPING
At the end of its life the machine must be disa-
bled before being scrapped.
Contact your local recycling centre to find
out where to dispose of it or recycle it.
The machine has been built and marked to
