Installation and connection instructions 42 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. In the event of damage, please contact your supplier. Ensure that all parts of the transport safeguard are removed and that the unit is splash protected, see Removing transport safeguard. Otherwise, the units or neighbouring furniture can be damaged when spinning. Always insert the plug into a correctly installed earthed socket. In the case of permanent connection: A permanent connection may only be made by an authorised specialist. Before putting the machine into operation, ensure that the mains voltage and current type shown on the units rating plate correspond with those at the place where the machine is being installed. The fuse rating is also found on the rating plate. Should work be carried out on the water supply installations in order to allow the machine to be connected properly to the water supply, this work must be carried out by an authorised installer. Should work be carried out on the mains supply in order to allow the machine to be connected properly to the electricity supply, this work must be carried out by an authorised electrician. The mains lead may only be replaced by the customer service or by an authorised electrician.
Installation and connection instructions 43 Installation of the appliance 3 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. Never transport the unit without the transport safeguard. Do not re- move the transport safeguard until the appliance is at the installation location. Transporting the unit without the transport safeguard can damage it. Lift the appliance neither by an open filling door nor by the base. When transporting the unit with a sack trolley: Attach the sack trolley only at the side. The sack trolley shovel must not be longer than 24 cm, otherwise the float switch can be de- stroyed. Remove transport packaging Important! It is essential to re- move the transport packaging be- fore putting the appliance into operation. Keep all parts of the transport packaging in a safe place for future use. 0 1.Open both hose holders on the appliances rear side and remove the hoses and mains cable.
Installation and connection instructions 44 2.Pull both hose holders off the ap- pliance with a strong pull. 3 The special spanner (A) and the caps (B) (2 each) and (C) (1 each) are supplied with it. 3.Remove the screw D, including the compression spring with the special spanner A. 4.Cover the hole with the cap C. Important! When fitting the plastic caps, press until they snap into the rear panel securely. 5.Remove the two screws (E) with the special spanner (A). 6.Remove the 4 screws (F). 7.Remove the transit bar (G). 8.Screw the 4 screws (F) back in for safe keeping. 9.Close the 2 large holes with the caps (B). Important! When fitting the plastic caps, press until they snap into the rear panel securely.
Installation and connection instructions 45 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. By installation surfaces with small-format tiles, lay a conventional rubber mat underneath. Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should al- ways be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet. If, for space reasons, it is not possible to avoid setting up the unit di- rectly next to a gas or coal-fired cooker: install a thermal insulation panel between the cooker and washing machine (85 x 57cm) which must have an aluminium film on the side against the cooker. The washing machine must not be set up in a room where there is a danger of frost. Frost hazard! Flexible feed and drain tubings may not be crinkled or squeezed. Installation on a concrete base If the unit is set up on a concrete base, for safety reasons it is essential to fit stand plates in which the washing ma- chine is adjusted. The stand plates are available from Customer Service under the spare parts number 645 425 058. Installation on vibrating floors Where the floor vibrates, particularly in the case of wooden beam floors with pliable boards, securely screw a water-resistant wooden panel at least 15mm thick onto at least 2 floor planks. If possible, set up the unit in the corner of a room, as the wooden floor is optimally re- strained there and is therefore least likely to be subject to resonance vi- brations.
Installation and connection instructions 46 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. 0 1.Slide the special key firmly onto the hexagon head of the threa- ded foot as far as it will go. 2.Adjust the screw feet so that the unit is horizontal and stable. The unit must not wobble over when loaded. 3.If necessary, check the setting with a spirit level. Important! Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but rather should always be com- pensated for by adjusting the adjustable feet.
Installation and connection instructions 47 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. Suitable devices include circuit breakers, fuses (threaded fuses must be entirely removed from the socket), ground fault circuit inter- rupters and contactors. Permanent connection may only be carried out by an authorised electrician. ; This appliance complies with the following EC directives: –The Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EU with changes –The EMC Directive 89/336/EU with changes Water connection 3 The washing machine has safety features which prevent back-contami- nation of the drinking water and which conform to the national regu- lations of the water authorities (e.g. for Germany: DVGW guidelines). This means that additional protective measures in the installation are not necessary. Important! –Units for connecting to cold water must not be connected to hot wa- ter. –Use only new hose sets for the connection. Permissible water pressure The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (= 10 N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), max- imum 10 bar = 100 N/cm2 = 1 Mpa). If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure-reduction valve upstream. If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose on the unit side at the sole- noid intake valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove the filter with pointed pliers and take out the rubber washer behind). Replace the filter.
Installation and connection instructions 48 Water inflow A pressure hose 1.5 m 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. –Hose sets in lengths of 2.2 m, 3.5 m and 5 m are available for washing machines without Aqua-Control. –Hose sets in lengths of 2.0 m, 2.9 m and 3.9 m are available for wash- ing machines with Aqua-Control. Caution! Never cut into pieces in order to extend the hoses! 3 Sealing rings are supplied either in the plastic nuts of the hose screw connection or in the enc- losed pack. Do not use other seals! 0 1.Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine. Caution! –Do not lay the infeed hose ver- tically downwards. Instead, turn it to the right or left as shown in the diagram. –Tighten the hose connection only by hand. 2.Connect the hose with the straight connection to a water tap with a R 3/4 (inch) screw thread. Caution! Only tighten the screw connection ma- nually. 3.By slowly opening the water tap before putting the washing machine into operation, check that the connection is free of leaks.
Installation and connection instructions 49 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. Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks. Water drain-off inside a siphon The grommet on the hose end fits all standard siphon types. 0 Secure the connection between the grommet and siphon with a hose clamp. Water drain-off inside a basin Important! –Small basins are not suitable for drainage. Water could overflow! –The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the pumped-out wa- ter. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the unit. –When hanging in a wash basin or a bath tub, the drainage hose must be secured with the supplied attachable bend to prevent it slipping. The back- surge force of the escaping water could otherwise force the hose out of the basin. 0 Tie the bend to the tap or the wall using a piece of string. 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 machines standing surface. Please contact Customer Service for delivery heads of over 1m.
