Conne cting water supply hos e
• The appliance is fit ted with transit bolts to prevent internal
damage during transpor t. Be careful, heavy load!
• Packing and all transi t bolts must be removed before using
the washing machine.
• When unpacking the b ase, be sure to remove the additional
packing support in th e middle of the base packing.
Store original packing fo r future move.
Dispose of packing materia l according to local regulations.
Unscrew the 4 bolts
using the spanner
supplied.
Keep the 4 bolts and the spanner for the future use. Refit transit bolts before transporting the appliance.
Level floor: Permiss ible floor gradient under entire washing machine
is 1˚ .
Power socket: Must b e within 100 cm of either side of location of
washing machine. Do not overload the so cket with more than one
appliance.
Additional Cle arance: For wall, floor and door space is ne eded.
(10cm: rear / 2cm:right & left side). Do not place or st ore laundry pro-
ducts on top of the washing machine a t any times. They can damage
the finish or controls of the machin e.
1. Do not use an extension cord or double adapter.
2. Have damaged supply cords replaced by the manufacturer or its service agents or a similarly qualified person
to prevent danger.
3. Always unplug the machine and turn off the water supply after use.
4. Connect the machine to an earthed socket in accordance with current wiring regulations.
5. The appliance must be positioned so that the plug is easily accessible.
• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexpe -
rienced persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. Contact your local service centre.
• Do not install your washing machine in rooms where temperature below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst
under pressure. The electronic control unit may become unreliable at temperatures below freezing point.
• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months and temperatures are below freezing: Leave the washing machine
standing at room temperature for a few hours before putting it into operation.
• Two rubbe r seals are supplied with the water inlet
hoses. They are used for preve nting water leaks.
• M ake sure the connection to taps is tight enough.
• P eriodically check the condition of the hose and
replace the hose if necess ary.
• M ake sure that there is no kink on the hose and
that it is not crushed.
When your washing ma chine has two valves:
• T he inlet hose with the red connector is for the hot
water tap.
• I f the washing machine has two valves, power
saving is achieved through using hot valv e.
Water supply pressure must be bet ween 1.0-10 bar (100kPa~1000kPa)
Don’t strip or crossthre ad when connecting inlet hose to the valve.
If the water supply pressure i s more than 1000kPa, a decompression
device should be installed.
• The drain hos e should not be placed higher than 100 cm above the floor.
• Proper secur ing of the drain hose will protect the floor from damage du e to any water leakage.
• If the drain ho se is too long do not force back into the washing machine. This will cau se unusual noise.
• Proper level-adjustment of the wa shing ma-
chine prevents excessive noise and v ibration.
Install the appliance on a s olid and level floor
surface, preferably in a co rner of the room.
• If the floor is uneven, adjust feet a s required.
(Do not insert pie ces of wood etc. under the
feet). Make sure that all four feet are s table
and resting on the floor. Then check t hat
the appliance is perfe ctly level. (Use a spirit
level).
Safe ty in stuc tions for t he ins talla tion
Install or store appliance where it will not be exposed to sub-zero temperatures or exposed to the weather. Fit ground of the
washing machine correctly to conform with all statutory regulations and ordinances. Ensure that the base opening is free from
obstruction by carpeting if the washing machine is installed on a carpeted floor. In countries where there is a risk of cockroach
infestation or other vermin, pay particular attention to keep the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin is not covered by the appliance guarantee.
CAUTION abou t positioning the appliance
Install the washing machine on a flat hard floor. Make sure that air circulation around the washing machine is
not impeded by carpets, rug etc.
•
Never try to correct any unevenness in the floor using pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the washing machine.
•
If it is not possible to position the washing machine away from a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation panel
(85x60cm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the cooker or stove, must be inserted between the two appliances.
•
The washing machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0°C.
•
Please ensure that when the washing machine is installed an engineer can gain easy access in the event of a breakdown.
•
Adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure that the appliance is stable, with 20mm clearnace between
the top of the washing machine and underside of the worktop.
CAUTION abou t the power cord
We recommend connecting most appliances to a dedicated circuit. That is, a single outlet supplying power only to the appliance
concerned, without any additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specifications of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload
wall sockets. Overloaded wall sockets, loose or damaged wall sockets or extension cords, frayed power cords, damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically examine the
cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance,
and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from physical or
mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a jamb of a door, or walked upon. Pay particular atten -
tion to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. We recommend to use a residual current operated
device in the mains supply.
CAUTION abou t location and moving
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. Turn off the stop -
cock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. if you are going on holiday), especially if there is no floor drain (gully)
in the immediate vicinity. If relocating the appliance use the original packing material. Disable the door lock to prevent young
children becoming trapped inside. Packaging material (e.g. plastic film, Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk
of suffocation! Keep all packaging well away from children.
CAUTION abou t the floor surface
• The installation surface must be clean, dry and level.
• Install washing machine on a flat hard floor.
• Proper placement and levelling of the washing machine ensure long, regular and reliable operation.
• The washing machine must be perfectly level and firmly in position.
• It must not “see-saw” across corners under load.
• The installation surface must be clean, free from floor wax and other lubricant coatings.
• Do not allow the feet of the washing machine to get wet. If feet of the washing machine get wet, slipping may occur.
