2. Important: Tighten all locking nuts after the machine has been levelled.

Connecting the water supply

This appliance can be connected to water tabs with a 3/4" B.S.P. thread.

Important:

• Observe the permissible water pressure and the max. inlet temperature (see "Technical Specifications"). Install a pressure reducing valve if the water pressure is higher.
• Do not connect to a water heater (instantaneous water heater or unpressurised boiler), as the water pressure is insufficient.
• Check with customer service for hose extensions. Do not use homemade extensions with hose clamps or similar!
• Use only the new hose supplied with the machine, not an old existing one!
• Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the hose!

Required tools: None. (Do not use a pipe wrench!)

1. If not already mounted, the offset side of the inlet hose is to be screwed "finger-tight" to the water inlet port at the rear of the appliance.

1. Connect the other end of the inlet hose "finger-tight" to the water tap.

The "Aquastop" resp. "Aquastop PLUS" (according to model) turns off the water inlet, if a leakage occurs.
3. Open the water tap fully and check all connections for tightness; close water tap again. Correct the position of seals and screw couplings, if necessary.

Connecting the drain hose

The drain hose can be hung to a wash-basin, sink or bathtub – or connected permanently to a siphon trap.

Important:

• Do not run the drain hose higher than 100cm above floor level for the suds pump to be able to pump out.
• The water must be able to run off unhindered. Washbasins with a small drain are not suitable.
• The end of the hose must not immer- merge in the pumped-out water.
• Check with customer service for hose extensions. Do not use homemade extensions with hose clamps or similar!
• Use only the new hose supplied with the machine, not an old existing one!
• Ensure that there are no sharp bends in the hose!

Fastening the hose holder:

1. Pull the hose holder supplied over the end of the drain hose.

1. Hang drain hose with hose holder on the edge of basin or tub and secure against slipping off - e.g. with a chain tied around the water tap.

Permanent connection to a siphon trap:

The connection should be made by a qualified plumber, to prevent the hose from slipping off. Risk of flooding!

• Install the rubber hose supplied between drain hose and siphon trap and secure with two hose clamps. Hose clamps are available at specialized dealers.

Electrical connection

Connect the appliance to a properly installed earthed outlet, which is protected by a fuse of adequate capacity.

Important:

• The connection must conform to the applicable regulations in your country and your local electricity board.
• The power cable plug must be accessible after installation.
• For a firmly fixed connection a master switch with at least 3mm contact clearance must be used.

• The stated voltage must match with your mains voltage.
• Connection by extension cables or trailing sockets is inadmissible.
• When connecting to the mains the programme selector must be in the «Stop« position.

A damaged power cable must be replaced by an authorised qualified electrician. Until the appliance has been repaired it must not be operated! Risk of electric shock!

The right plug

This appliance comes with a fitted plug.

If this plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, it must be cut off and the appropriate plug fitted (see below). The cut off plug should be disposed of immediately to prevent the possibility of electric shocks, should it be plugged into a socket.

In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted; it can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured marks or inserts in the base of the plug.

If the plug fitted is the moulded on type, the fuse is a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse to BS 1362.

With alternative plugs a 15 amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug or in the mains fuse box.

Fitting a different plug

The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow - Earth

Blue - Neutral

Brown - Live

If you fit your own plug the colours of these wires may not correspond with the identifying marks on the plug terminals.

This is what you have to do:

1. Connect the green and yellow (Earth) wire to the terminal in the plug marked "E" or with the symbol 12 , or coloured green, or green and yellow.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the terminal in the plug marked "N", or coloured blue or black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to the terminal in the plug marked "L", or coloured brown or red.

The first time

If the buzzer sounds or the appliance can not be switched on, refer to section "Troubleshooting".

• After all connections have been made the clock has to be set, see "Setting the time of day".

2. Close tap.
3. Leave door and detergent dispensing drawer open for drying out.

Preparing to Wash

Sorting the laundry

• Sort laundry according to textile type (material), colour, degree of soiling and permissible washing temperature.

Always observe the care symbols shown on the garment labels!

Type of textiles and care symbols
Cottons: Cotton, linen
30	40
60	95
Easy-care: Synthetics (polyester, polyamide); mixed fabrics (with cotton)
30	40
60
Delicates: Sensitive fabrics (viscose, silk, etc.); curtains
cold	30
40
Wool: Only with wool label and marked "machine wash"
30	40
	machine wash
Hand wash:	Do not wash:

• Do not wash white and coloured laundry together! New, dark coloured cottons will stain very much.

Preparing the laundry

! Laundry with hard or metal parts (bras with underwires, belts with metal buckles etc.) will damage the appliance. Remove those parts or put laundry in a laundry bag or similar.

• Empty pockets, remove all foreign objects (coins, pens, paper clips). Put small pieces of laundry (baby socks, tights) in a laundry bag or similar.
• Handle curtains with extra care! Remove non-stainless runners and lead tape not sewn in. Put runners which can not be removed in a laundry bag or similar.
• Close zippers, sew on loose buttons, mend unstitched seams and tears.
• Wash only woollens marked "machine wash" or "hand wash" – and only with the appropriate wash programme.
• Wash new, coloured cottons separately – they could dye.
• Heavy stains should be treated appropriately before washing. If in doubt check with a chemist or dry cleaner.
• Use only dyes/discolouring and antiliming agents suitable for machine wash. Observe the information given on the packing!

The right amount

• The max. load depends on the laundry type, the grade of soil, and the wash programme.

Please note the information given in the "Programme Table"!

Overloading the drum adversely affects the washing result.

i Always try to utilize the max. load.

The door

i While the programme is running the door is locked; the indicator lamp Door locked < < > is on.

As soon as the Door locked indicator lamp goes out the door can be opened.

• To open, push the door opener above the door.

• Place the laundry loosely in the drum; if required give extra detergent (in eco bag or proportioning ball) in the drum.
• Close the door; push against the door until you hear the door lock engage. Do not catch any laundry in the door assembly!

Washing Detergents and Fabric Conditioners

Detergent dispensing drawer

The detergent dispensing drawer is made up of three compartments:

Compartment I for pre-wash

Compartment II for main-wash or starch (dissolved powdered starch)

Compartment III for fabric softener or starch (liquid starch)

Always fill in detergent and fabric conditioner before the starting the wash programme.

Never open the detergent dispensing drawer while the wash programme is still running!

Proportioning aids

By means of detergent bags or proportioning balls the washing detergent can be placed directly in the drum.

Of course this will only work for programmes without pre-wash.

Liquid detergents

When using liquid or gel-like detergents, please note the following:

• Do not use liquid detergent if you wish to use the delay-timer function.
• Use liquid detergent only for the main-wash cycle, not for pre-wash.

Risk of stains when using liquid detergent with the delay-timer function or with pre-wash.

• Use the detergent maker's proportioning cup and observe the information given on the packing.

Choice of washing detergent

The type of detergent used depends on the type of textile, colour, degree of soiling and desired washing temperature.

• Use regular detergent for cottons (60 - 95°C), otherwise use special detergent for coloured and delicate wash.
• Wash woollens only with a special detergent for woollens.
• Modular system washing detergents allow for an individual addition of bleaching agent and softener.
• Use only washing detergents suitable for use in washing machines.

Detergent proportioning

The amount of detergent required depends on the laundry quantity, degree of soiling and water hardness.

Check with your local water board for the water hardness in your area.

Water hardness levels
1	soft	0...1.3	0...9
2	medium	1.3...2.5	9...18
3	hard	2.5...3.8	18...27
4	very hard	>3.8	>27
		mmol/I	Engl.degr.

It is absolutely necessary you proportion as recommended on the packing!
- For small amounts of laundry or only slight soiling use accordingly less detergent.

Proportion the highly concentrated compact detergents very accurately!

Too much washing detergent causes: heavy foaming, poor wash and rinsing results, high burden on water.

Too little washing detergent causes: the laundry to look grey, lime deposits in the appliance.

Fabric softener

Fabric softener is filled in the compartment III of the detergent dispensing drawer.

• Proportion as recommended on the packing!
• Fill only up to the red max. mark.
• Dilute viscous fabric softeners with water before filling in.

If you dry your laundry in a dryer or outdoors, you do not need a fabric softener.

Starch

• Fill liquid starch and finishing agent same as fabric softener (see above) in compartment III.
• Mix powdered starch as instructed on the packing and fill in compartment II.

Never use fabric softener and starch together in the same washing cycle.

• Wipe drum after starching.

Wash Programmes

The programme selector

The programme selector can be turned either clockwise or anti-clockwise.

With the programme selector a programme is selected; however it will start only if the Start/Pause button is pressed.

In the "Programme Table" you can find more information on the individual wash programmes.

Main programmes

Depending on the type of textile, the following main programmes are available:

Cottons
Synthetics
Delicates
- Woollens / Hand wash

Each of these main programmes comprises a complete washing cycle - wash, rinse and, where appropriate, spin.

Always adjust the programme to suit the textile type, colour, degree of soil ing and the permissible washing temperature.

Observe the care symbols shown on the garment labels!

For each main programme different temperatures can be selected.

Select the temperature only as high as absolutely necessary. A high temperature means high current consumption.

Special programmes

For specific applications you can select any of the following special programmes:

Rinse

This programme is also used for starching.

Spin/Drain ⑨

This programme spins at maximum speed.

For delicate fabrics the speed should be reduced!

You can also use this programme if the machine has stopped for a rinsehold and you want to pump out water (see "Rinse & hold").

• Quick 30^ C

Select this programme if you need to wash small loads of cotton/blended fabrics only briefly.

Additional functions

The buttons

Depending on the selected programme (see "Programme Table"), specific additional functions can be activated by pressing a button.

• Press the required buttons before starting the programme.
• Any not meaningful combination of buttons is blocked; attempting to select such combination will cause a buzzer to sound.

Prewash U

This button activates a pre-wash, which is carried out at a temperature of 40^ .

• A pre-wash is only worth while with heavily soiled laundry. Without pre-wash you save energy, water, washing detergent – and time.

Intensive

This function extends the wash time of the main-wash cycle. The washing detergent can work more effective, you can wash at lower temperatures – and thus save up to 35% on energy.

• Normal soiled laundry that can be boiled you can now wash at 60^ C instead of 95^ C , plus this button.
• Normal soiled synthetics you can wash at 40^ C instead of 60^ C , plus this button.

Extra rinse 4

This function includes an extra rinse cycle.

• Use this function only if you are sensitive to washing detergent residue. The increased water consumption is a burden on the environment – and your purse.
• If the foam detection system detects an overdose of washing detergent, an extra rinse cycle is included automatically.

Short wash

With this button the wash time can be reduced.

• Use this function for small loads or less soiled laundry.

surfliss (Anti-crease)

If you press this button, the drum movement is reduced and the spin cycle limited, to reduce creasing. In addition washing is done at a higher water level.

• Therefore, use this function only for delicate fabrics that crease easily.

The maximum load with this function is – for Cottons: 3.0 kg – for Synthetics: 1.5 kg – for Delicates: 1.0 kg

Bio

If you activate this function, the laundry is soaked for about an hour before the wash cycle starts.

• Use this function if heavily soiled and for stains such as protein, blood or cocoa.

Rinse & hold

If you press this button the programme stops after the last rinse cycle. The laundry remains in the water (to protect against creasing).

• Once the rinsehold is reached, the indicator lamp begins to flash.
  Refer to "At a Glance" to find out what to do at this point.

Child-proof lock

With the child-proof lock the appliance can be made child-safe.

Activating the child-proof lock:

• Press both indicated buttons simultaneously and hold them for approx. 2 seconds, until the child-proof lock indicator lamp goes on.
  (i) Then a running programme can not be changed anymore, and the door can not be opened.
  If the programme selector is set to Stop, the programme stops. To continue with the programme, set the programme selector to the initial programme.

Deactivating the child-proof lock:

• Press both indicated buttons simultaneously and hold them for approx. 2 seconds, until the «child-proof lock« indicator lamp goes out.

Spin speed selector

Each programme automatically sets the maximum reasonable spin speed (see "Programme Table"). The currently set value is indicated (range depending on model).

For especially sensitive textiles the spin speed should be reduced.

• By pressing the Spin speed « ⑨ button repeatedly you can reduce the spin speed – or completely disable the spin.
• If set to No spin no spinning is done; only the water is pumped off.

The higher the spin speed, the lower the residual moisture. If you wish to dry your laundry in a dryer afterwards, select the maximum spin speed – this helps saving energy when drying.

Display

Depending on the operating mode the display shows

• the current time,
  the time of the programme end.

If no programme is selected, the display will turn off after approx. 1 minute (to save energy). When you actuate the programme selector or the Start/Pause or Clock button, the display turns on again.

Setting the time of day

The time needs to be set:

• after the appliance has been connected to the mains,

Care and Maintenance

Detergent dispensing drawer

Clean when necessary:

1. Pull the drawer out as far as possible, then remove it with a sharp pull.
2. Clean drawer under running warm water.
3. Remove the fabric conditioner suction cap (at rear of compartment III); clean suction cap and opening in the drawer under running warm water, and push a needle through the opening, if necessary.

Insert the suction cap again.

1. Wipe of all residue detergent from the drawer guides.
2. Remove any furring from the water-jet nozzles in the drawer.

Door and drum

Clean each time:

• Wipe out the sealing fold of the rubber collar; check for foreign matter.

• Check drum for foreign matter.

Ferrous foreign matter can cause iron stains. If such is the case, clean drum with a cleaning agent for stainless steel. Do not use steel wool or scrub sponges!

Housing and control panel

Clean when necessary:

• Clean housing with soapy water or a mild cleaning agent; wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• Wipe control panel with a soft, wet cloth.

Do not use any scouring sponge or agent! It will damage plastic parts and the enamel.

Foreign matter trap

Clean if foreign matter (coins, buttons, baby socks, etc.) block the suds pump.

• Pump off all remaining water before cleaning (see below).

Draining the suds pump

Drain all water...

• before cleaning the foreign matter trap;
• prior to transporting the appliance (e.g. when moving house);
• in the event of a power failure (as a "temporary measure");
• when there is a danger of freezing.

At room temperatures below 0^ the remaining water in the appliance could freeze, damaging it. Important: Frost damage is not covered by the warranty.

1. Switch appliance off, unplug the power cable, close the water tap.
   !Allow hot suds to cool down first. Risk of scalding!
2. Open service door by pushing the button on the side.

1. Fold down the run-off flap and place a low bowl underneath.
2. Turn the foreign matter trap anticlockwise by approx. 1/4 turn and let the water run off. When the bowl is full, turn the trap to close it. Empty bowl and repeat as often as necessary.

With a fully loaded drum (e.g. at a power failure) up to 20 litres of water may need to be drained!

1. If there is no more water emerging remove the foreign matter trap.
2. Clean the foreign matter trap and suds pump opening. Check to see if the pump's impeller turns freely.
3. Replace the foreign matter trap and tighten it (turn clockwise). Close run-off flap and service door.

Water inlet filters

Clean if water flows very slowly or not at all.

1. Switch appliance off, close the water tap.
2. Take the inlet hose off.
3. With a pair of combination or pointed pliers remove the strainer in the "Aquastop" resp. "Aquastop PLUS" (according to model), clean and put it back in place.

1. Except for "Aquastop PLUS": With a pair of combination or pointed pliers remove the strainer from the inlet port at the rear, clean and put it back in place.

1. Put inlet hose back on and tighten "finger-tight".
2. Open the water tapfully and check all connections for tightness.

Decalcifying

If the detergent is proportioned correctly, it is not necessary to decalcify the appliance.

• If necessary use only a decalcifying agent suitable for washing machines. Observe the information given on the packing!
