Note: Foam formation

If too much foam is inspected during spin cycle, motor stops and drain pump will be activated for 90 seconds. If that elimination of foam fails up to 3 times, programme ends without spinning.

Should the error messages reappear even after the taken measures, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power supply and contact the customer service.

9.4 In case of power failure

The current programme and its setting will be saved. When power supply is restored operation will be resumed. In case of power failure during programme run door opening is mechanically blocked. If the laundry is to be removed, the water level must not be visible in the glass door. - Danger of scalding!

☒ Lower the water level according to step 1 to 6 of chapter CARE AND CLEANING (PUMP FILTER).
☒ Pull lever (A) beneath service flap (Fig. 9-1) until door is unlocked by a gentle click.
☒ Fix all parts and close the service flap.

10.1 Preparation

▶ Take the appliance out of the packaging.
Remove all packaging material including polystyrene base, keep them out of children's reach. While opening the package, water drops may be seen on plastic bag and port-hole. This normal phenomenon results from water tests in the factory.

Note: Packaging disposal

Keep all packaging materials out of children's reach and dispose them in an environmentally friendly manner.

10.2 Dismantle the transportation bolts

The transportation bolts are designed for clamping anti-vibration components inside the appliance during transportation to prevent inner damage.

1. Remove all 4 bolts on the rear side and take out plastic spacers (Fig. 10-1)(Fig. 10-2).
2. Fill left holes with blanking plugs (Fig. 10-3)(Fig. 10-4).

Note: Keep in safe place

Keep the transportation bolts in a safe place for later use, Whenever the appliance is to be moved at first reinstall the bolts.

10.3 Moving the appliance

If the machine is to be moved to a distant location, replace the transportation bolts removed before installation to prevent damage:

1. Remove the blanking plugs.
2. Remove the back cover.
3. Insert the plastic spacers and the transportation bolts.
4. Tighten the bolts with a spanner.
5. Replace the back cover.

10.4 Aligning the appliance

Adjust all feet (Fig. 10-5) to achieve a complete level position. This will minimize vibrations and thus noise during use. It will also reduce wear and tear. We recommend to use a spirit level for adjustment. Floor should be as stable and flat as possible.

1. Loose the locknut (1) by using a wrench.
2. Adjust the high by turning the foot (2).
3. Tighten locknut (1) against the housing.

10.5 Drain water connection

Fix the water drain hose properly to the piping. The hose has to reach at one point a height between 80 and 100 cm above the appliance bottom line! If possible keep always drain hose fixed to the clip at the appliance back.

WARNING!

▶ Use only the supplied hose set for the connection.
▶ Never reuse old hose sets!
▶ Only connect to cold water supply.
▶ Before connection, check whether the water is clean and clear.

10-7 10-6

Following connections are possible:

10.5.1 Drain hose to sink

▶ Hang the drain hose with the U-support over the edge of a sink with adequate size (Fig. 10-6).
▶ Protect the U-support sufficiently against slipping.

10.5.2 Drain hose to waste water connection

The internal diameter of the stand pipe with vent-hole must be minimum 40 mm.
▶ Put the drain hose for approx. 80 mm in the wastewater pipe.
▶ Attach the U-support and secure it sufficiently (Fig. 10-7).
