Operating Instructions  
1 Safety  
Prior to using the appliance for the first time  
Follow the “Installation and connection instructions.  
If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are mi-  
nus temperatures: store the washing machine at room temperature  
for 24 hours before using for the first time.  
Correct use  
The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal do-  
mestic laundry at home.  
Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permit-  
ted.  
Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use in domestic  
washing machines.  
The washing must not contain any flammable solvent. The risk of ex-  
plosion exists.  
Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.  
Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if  
the manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot  
accept liability for any damage arising.  
Child safety  
Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.  
Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical  
appliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsu-  
pervised.  
Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the  
washing machine. The risk of death exists.  
General safety  
Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/  
authorised service engineers.  
Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the  
control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent  
that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.  
5
 
Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out  
maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power  
point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cut-  
out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.  
If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup-  
ply and turn off the tap.  
Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the  
cable. Always pull the plug.  
Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.  
Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.  
Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of  
electric shock.  
When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in  
the door will become hot. Do not touch it!  
Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the  
drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool  
down.  
Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This  
can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small  
animals away from the washing machine.  
Disposal  
2 Packaging material  
The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recy-  
cled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<,  
>PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate  
container at your local waste disposal facilities.  
2 Old appliance  
Please dispose of your old appliance in line with the guidelines for dis-  
posal in your area.  
1 Warning: When your appliance has finished its working life, remove  
the plug from the mains socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dispose  
of them.  
Destroy the door lock. This prevents children from trapping themselves  
inside and endangering their lives.

Adding detergent/conditioner  
Important! Only use detergents/conditioners that are suitable for use  
in domestic washing machines.  
Add detergent/conditioner in accordance with the detergent/condi-  
tioner manufacturer’s instructions. Observe instructions on the packag-  
ing.  
The amount of detergent used depends on:  
the washing’s degree of soiling,  
the load size  
the hardness of the tap water.  
If the manufacturer does not make any recommendations with re-  
gard to small volumes of washing: for a half-load use a third less, and  
for a very small load use only half the amount of detergent that is  
recommended for a full load.  
Water softener should be used from water hardness range 2 (=medi-  
um). The amount of detergent used can then always be that as for  
hardness range 1 (=soft). Your local water company will provide you  
with information about water hardness in your area.

dicator illuminates.  
The door is locked.  
The programme will continue  
when the power cut has end-  
ed.  
The door cannot be  
opened when the wash-  
ing machine is switched  
on.  
There has been a power cut.  
(All the indicators have gone  
out.)  
The door remains locked for  
approx. 2 minutes.  
To remove the washing:  
If water can be seen in the  
appliance, first empty the  
water before opening the  
door (see section “Carrying  
out an emergency drain”).  
The washing is badly  
creased.  
Perhaps too many items  
were loaded.  
Observe the maximum load  
volume.  
If the wash result is not satisfactory  
The washing is grey and there are limescale deposits in the drum  
Too little detergent was used.  
An incorrect detergent was used.  
Individual stains were not pre-treated.  
The programme or temperature was not set properly.  
There are grey stains on the washing  
Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using  
too little detergent.  
The wash temperature used was too low.  
A common cause is that conditioner – in particular the type in con-  
centrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out  
such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said  
conditioner.  
Foam can still be seen following the final rinse  
Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the fi-  
nal rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed.  
There are white residues on the washing  
What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern deter-  
gents contain.  
They are not the result of insufficient rinsing.  
Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out  
before washing. Check your selection of detergent and perhaps use  
liquid detergent instead.

Carrying out an emergency drain  
1 Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency drain, switch off the  
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.  
Warning! The water that comes out of the emergency drain hose may  
be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing  
an emergency drain!  
1.Open the plinth flap and remove it.  
2.Remove the emergency drain hose.  
3.Place a shallow container under-  
neath it. Then loosen the drain plug  
by turning it in an anti-clockwise  
direction and pull it out.  
4.The water will run out. If it is neces-  
sary to empty the container more  
than once, seal up the emergency  
drain hose with the drain plug while  
you are doing so.  
When the water has all drained away:  
5.Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and turn it in a  
clockwise direction until it is firmly in place.  
6.Replace the emergency drain hose into the retainer.  
7.Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.  
21  
 
Drain pump  
The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the  
pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being  
pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked.  
Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for-  
eign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be  
washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the wash-  
ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump  
housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel).  
1 Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the  
washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point.  
1.First carry out an emergency drain.  
2.Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump.  
Residual water runs out.  
3.Unscrew the pump cover in an anti-  
clockwise direction and remove it.  
4.Remove foreign bodies and fluff  
from the pump housing and from  
the pump wheel.  
5.Check whether the pump wheel  
right at the back of the pump hous-  
ing can turn. (If the wheel rotates  
with a jerky motion, this is normal.)  
If the pumping wheel cannot be  
turned, please contact your local  
Service Force Centre..  
6.Insert the pump cover. Insert the  
guides at the sides of the cover into  
the guide slots and tighten the cov-  
er by turning in a clockwise direc-  
tion.

Connecting the appliance to the water  
supply  
Important:  
This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply.  
When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits.  
Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water  
or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the require-  
ments of DIN1986 and DIN1988.  
Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.  
Permitted water pressure  
The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2=0.1MPa), and  
may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm2 =1MPa).  
If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve.  
If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from  
the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition re-  
move the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket  
behind it.) Replace the filter.  
29  
 
Water inlet  
A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance.  
If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are  
to be used. Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths.  
3 Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose  
fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing  
rings.  
Important! All threaded hose fit-  
tings must only be tightened by  
hand.  
1.Connect the hose with the right-an-  
gle connector to the machine.  
Important! Do not position the inlet  
hose vertically downwards. Position  
it to the right or the left as shown in  
the illustration.  
2.Connect the hose with the straight  
connector to a water tap with an R  
¾ (inch) screw thread.  
3.Slowly turn on the tap and check  
that all connections are watertight.  
30  
 
Water Drainage  
The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the  
drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe  
should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia-  
gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and  
standpipe.  
Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.  
When discharging into a stand-  
pipe ensure that the top of the  
curve in the hose end is no more  
than 90 cm (35.4’’) and no less  
than 60 cm (23.6’’) above floor  
level.  
The upright standpipe should  
have a minimum, length of 30 cm  
(12’’) from the bottom of the el-  
bow to the top of the pipe (see  
diagram). Make sure that it is de-  
signed in such a way that the end  
of the drain hose cannot be cov-  
ered with water.  
Longer drain hoses are available  
in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres  
from your Service Force Centre.  
For drainage into an outlet  
spigot: If the outlet spigot has not  
been used before, remove any blank-  
ing plug that may be in place. Push  
the drain hose onto the spigot and  
secure with a clip if required. Ensure  
the drain hose is looped upwards to  
prevent waste water from the sink  
entering the washing machine.  
Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the  
pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the  
appliance.  
31  
 
Pumping heights of over 1 metre  
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of  
1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.  
Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and dam-  
age to the appliance may arise.  
For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained.  
Please contact Service Force Centre.
