Installation and connection instructions
1Safety information for the installation
This washing machine cannot be built-in.
Before using for the first time, check the appliance for damage sus-
tained while it was being transported. Do not under any circumstanc-
es connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, 
please contact your supplier.
Before using for the first time, all parts of the transport lock must be 
removed. Otherwise when spinning damage may be caused to the ap-
pliance or to neighbouring units or furniture.
Before using the appliance for the first time, splash protection must 
be completed. (See “Removing the transit packaging”.)
Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof 
socket.
Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be in-
stalled by a trained electrician.
Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated 
voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the sup-
ply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be 
found on the rating plate.
If work on the plumbing is required for the proper connection of the 
washing machine to the water supply, this must be undertaken by a 
competent person.
If work on the electricity supply system is required for the proper 
connection of the washing machine to the electricity supply, this 
must be undertaken by a registered electrician.
The washing machine’s cable must only be replaced by the Customer 
Care Department or a registered electrician.

Installing the appliance
Transporting the appliance
1Warning! The washing machine is very heavy. Risk of injury. Be careful 
when lifting.
Do not lay the appliance on its front nor on its right side (as seen 
from the front). Electrical components may get wet.
Never transport the appliance without its transport lock. Only remove 
the transport lock when the appliance is in its place of installation. 
Transporting the appliance without its transport lock can lead to 
damage to the appliance.
Never lift the appliance by the door when it is open nor by the plinth.
When moving using a sack trolley:
Only use the sack trolley on the side of the appliance. The sack trol-
ley’s base plate must not be longer than 24 cm, otherwise parts of the 
anti-flood system may be damaged. 
Unpacking
1The transport safeguard must be removed before putting the appliance 
into operation.
Important!
You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the 
machine is to be transported again. 
1.After removing all the packaging, 
with assistance carefully lay ma-
chine on it’s back to remove the pol-
ystyrene base from the bottom. 
 
						

							34
2.Remove the power supply cable and 
the draining hose from the hose 
holders on the rear of the appliance.
3.With a suitable spanner unscrew and 
remove the central rear bolt A. Slide 
out the relevant plastic spacer.
4.Unscrew and remove the two large 
rear bolts B and the six smaller bolts 
C.
 
						

							35
5.Remove the bracket D.
6.Refit the six smaller bolts C.
7.Open the porthole and remove the 
polystyrene block fitted with the ad-
hesive tape on the door seal.
8.Fill the smaller upper hole and the 
two large ones with the correspond-
ing plastic plug caps supplied in the 
bag containing the instruction 
booklet.
Important!
All the different plug caps are sup-
plied with the appliance in the plas-
tic bag containing the instruction 
booklet.
 
						

							36
Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water 
inlet”.
Where to install
Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a 
danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is 
not covered by the warranty.
The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm 
and level. Do not install the appliance on carpets or on soft floor cov-
erings.
The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean 
and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance 
does not slide.
If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with 
small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under 
the appliance.
Making the appliance level
The four feet of the appliance are 
pre-adjusted. 
Large degrees of unevenness can be 
compensated for by individually ad-
justing the height adjustable screw 
feet. 
Use the special spanner supplied to 
do this. 
Important! Do not use pieces of 
wood, cardboard or such like to lev-
el out unevenness in the floor, but 
adjust the height adjustable screw 
feet instead.
Electrical connection
Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to 
be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway.

Connecting to the water supply
Permitted water pressure
Th e wat er press ure m ust  be at  leas t 1 bar (= 10 N/ cm2= 0.1 MPa) and may 
be a maximum of 10 bar (= 100 N/cm2=1MPa). 
–If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. 
–If less than 1 bar: 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.) Re-insert the filter.
Water inlet
Attention!
An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum.
Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to 
the water supply. 
This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply.
1.Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2.Connect the hose with the angled 
connection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down-
wards. Angle the hose to the left 
or right depending on the position 
of your water tap. 
3.Set the hose correctly by loosening 
the ring nut. After positioning the 
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the 
ring nut again to prevent leaks.
 
						

							38
4.Connect the hose to a tap with a 
3/4” thread. 
Always use the hose supplied with 
the appliance. 
Installation should comply with local 
water authority and building regula-
tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op-
eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water 
connection direct from the rising mains, you may be able to operate 
the appliance from your cold water storage system. 
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the 
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.
Aqua Control
The inlet hose is provided with a wa-
ter stop device, which protects 
against damage caused by water 
leaks in the hose which could devel-
op due to natural ageing of the 
hose. This fault is shown by a red 
sector in the window „A”. Should this 
occur, turn the water tap off and re-
fer to your Service Centre to replace 
the hose.
 
						

							39
Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface 
on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m 
laid on the floor and then 80 cm vertically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/sink outlet joint 
with a hose band clip (available from 
your dealer). 
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1Important! 
–Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow. 
–The end of the drain hose must 
not be in the water that has been 
pumped out. Otherwise water 
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
–When draining into a wash basin 
or a bath, secure the drain hose 
with the supplied elbow to stop it 
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of 
the basin. 
–When pumping the water out, 
check that the water is running 
away fast enough.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 
1 meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed. 
Warning! If pumping height is over 1 metre, malfunctions and damage 
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1 metre a conversion kit can be obtained. 
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
