Tips on economical use

■ Always fill the appliance with the

maximum amount of laundry for the

relevant programme.

Overview of programmes

~ Page 30

■ Wash normally soiled laundry

without a prewash.

■ Save energy and detergent when

washing lightly and normally soiled

laundry. ~ Page 29

■ Using the intelligent dosing system

(i-DOS) to dose your detergent helps

you to save detergent and use less

water.

■ The selectable temperatures apply

to the care labels on the textiles. The

temperatures in the machine may

deviate from this so that you get the

optimum mix of energy-saving and

washing results.

■ Information on energy and water

consumption: ~ Page 26

The displays provide information

about the relative level of energy and

water consumption in the selected

programmes.

The more indicator lights light up,

the higher the programme's

consumption.

This enables you to compare the

consumption levels of the different

programmes when choosing your

programme settings and decide on

an energy- and water-saving

programme setting.

■ Energy-saving mode: The display

panel lighting goes out after a few

minutes and the A button flashes.

Press any button to activate the

lighting.

Energy-saving mode is not activated

if a programme is running.

■ Automatic switch off: If the

appliance is not operated for a

prolonged period, it may

automatically switch off before the

programme starts and when the

programme has ended to save

energy. Press the main switch again

to switch on the appliance.

Switching the ~ Page 51 function

■ If the laundry is subsequently dried

in a tumble dryer, select the spin

speed according to the tumble dryer

manufacturer's instructions.

:Warning

Danger of death!

There is a risk of electric shock if you

touch live components.

Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety

valve in water (it contains an electric

valve).

Notes

■ Only operate the washing machine

using cold mains water.

■ Do not connect the machine to the

mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-

water boiler.

■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only

use the supply hose supplied or one

that was purchased from an

authorised specialist retailer.

■ Do not kink or squash the water

supply hose.

■ Do not alter (shorten, cut through)

the water supply hose (otherwise its

strength is no longer guaranteed).

■ Only tighten the screw connections

by hand. If the screw connections

are tightened too much with a tool

(pliers), the thread may become

damaged.

■ When connecting to a 21 mm = ½"

tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing

washer from 21 mm = ½" to

26.4 mm = ¾".

*supplied depending on the model

Optimum water pressure in the supply

network

At least 100 kPa (1 bar)

Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)

When the tap is open, the water flow

rate is at least 8 l/min.

If the water pressure is higher than this,

a pressure-reducing valve must be

installed.

Connection

Connect the water supply hose to the

tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the

appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop

models as this is permanently installed):

■ Model: Standard

■ Model: Aqua-Secure

■ Model: Aqua-Stop

Note: Turn on the tap carefully,

checking the leak tightness of the

connection points. The screw

connection is under mains water

pressure.

: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!

Water damage

If the drain hose slips out of the

washbasin or the connection point

during draining due to high water

pressure, any escaping water may

cause water damage.

Secure the drain hose so that it cannot

slip out.

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 block drainage

from the washbasin.

■ The end of the drain hose is not

immersed in the drained water.

■ The water drains away quickly

enough.

Note: Do not kink the water drain hose

or put strain on it lengthways.

Connection

■ Drainage into a washbasin

■ Drainage into a siphon

The connection point must be

secured using a hose clamp with a

diameter of 24 - 40 mm (available

from specialist dealers).

■ Drainage into a plastic pipe with

rubber bushing or into a drainage

pit

Positioning and connecting en

19

Levelling

Align the appliance using a spirit level.

Incorrect alignment may result in loud

noises, vibrations and machine

"movement".

1. Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17

spanner, 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. The lock nuts on all four appliance

feet must be screwed tightly against

the housing using a suitable WAF17

spanner. In doing so, hold the foot

tight and do not adjust its height.

Electrical connection

:Warning

Danger 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.

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 customer

services.

■ 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. If this is not possible, in

order to comply with the relevant

safety regulations, a switch (2-pole

switch-off) must be built into the

permanent installation in accordance

with electrical installation regulations.

■ The mains cable is not kinked,

squashed, altered or cut through.

■ The mains cable does not come into

contact with heat sources.
