Cleaning and Care Control panel Important! Do not use any furniture cleaning agents or aggressive cleaning agents in order to clean panel and control parts. Wipe control panels with a damp cloth. When doing so, use warm wa- ter. Detergent Drawer The detergent drawer should be cleaned from time to time.

Installation and connection instructions Installation and connection instructions Installation Safety Precautions • Do not tilt the washing machine onto its front or onto its right side (viewed from the front). Electronic components can get wet. • Check the washing machine for transport damages. A damaged unit must never be put into operation under any circumstances.
Installation of the appliance Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for installing under units. Transporting the appliance • Do not place the washing machine on its front or on its right side (viewed from the front). Otherwise, electrical components can get wet.

Installation and connection instructions 2. Pull both hose holders off the unit with a strong pull. The special key E and the caps D (2 each) and G (1 each) are sup- plied with it. 3. Unscrew the two screws with the special spanner.
Prepare the installation place • The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid. • Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is then no longer ensured.
Installation and connection instructions Compensate for floor unevenness Floor unevenness can be compensated for and the height can be cor- rected with the four adjustable screw feet. The height can be adjusted in the range +10 .. -5mm. To adjust the feet use the special spanner supplied for removing the transport braces.
Electrical connection Details of the mains voltage, current type and required fuses can be found on the rating plate. The ra- ting plate is located at the top above the filling door. For permanent electrical connection within the electrical circuit, provi- sions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the ap- pliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all poles.
Installation and connection instructions Water inflow A pressure hose of 1.35m in length is supplied. If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by our Customer Service is permissible. –...
Water drain The drainage hose can either be connected to a siphon or hung in a wash basin or discharge basin or a bath tub. Only original hoses may be used for extensions (max. 3m laid on the floor and then up to 80cm high). Customer Service stocks drainage hoses in lengths of 2.7 and 4m.
Installation and connection instructions Delivery heads over 1m To pump off the washing / rinsing solution, every washing machine has a drain pump which carries liquids up to a height of 1m via the drain- age hose, calculated from the machine's standing surface. Please contact Customer Service for delivery heads of over 1m.
