 sure that you 
completely remove transport braces and keep them for  subsequent 
transportation.
– If you need to transport the appliance at a later d ate, always re-affix the 
transport braces to prevent damage to the machine. –>  page 6.
– Store the screw and sleeve screwed together.
1. Take the hoses out of the holders.
2.Loosen all 3 screws ...
... until they can move freely in the sleeves.
3.Remove all 3 transport braces completely and take t he mains cable 
out of the holders, depending on the model.

Water connection 
depending on model
–Risk of electric shock.  Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water 
(contains an electric valve).
– To prevent leaks or water damage, observe the instr uctions in this 
section.
– Caution : only operate the washing machine using cold drinkin g water.
– Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised  hot-water boiler.
– Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hos e supplied or one which was 
purchased from an authorised specialist dealer.
– If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.
Water inlet 
Water inlet hose: 
Caution : do not bend, squash, modify or cut through
(otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed). 
Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100 ä1,000 kPa (1 ä10 bar)
– When the tap is on, the water flow is at least 8 l /min.
– If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressu re reducing valve must be installed.
Model: AquaäStop
Aqua äSecure Standard
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the tap. 
Caution : only tighten the screw connections by 
hand.
2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak  
tightness of the connection points. 
Caution :the screw connection is under mains water 
pressure.
Water outlet 
Water outlet hose: 
Caution : do not bend or pull lengthways. 
Height difference between the installation surface and the d rain:
– for Aqua äSecure and Standard models: min. 60 cm - max. 100 c m
– for Aqua äStop model: 0 - max. 100 cm
Outlet in a sink 
Caution : secure the drain hose from slipping out.
Caution : the plug must not block drainage from the sink. Dur ing 
pumping, check whether the water is draining away qui ckly enough. 
The end of the drain hose must not be immersed in t he water pumped 
out. This risks water being sucked back into the wash ing machine.
Outlet into a plastic pipe with rubber bushing or into a  drainage pit:
Caution : secure the drain hose so that it cannot slip out.
.
Drainage into a siphon: 
Caution : the connection point must be secured with a hose clam p,
Ø 24-40 mm (exclusive dealers).

Alignment
Intense noise formation, vibrations and “wandering”  may be the result of incorrect 
alignment.
Aligning the washing machine with a spirit level
1. Loosen the lock nut using a wrench, by turning it i n a clockwise direction.
2. Change the height by turning the appliance feet. 
Caution: all four appliance feet must be firmly on the ground .
The washing machine must not wobble.
Check the alignment of the washing machine with a sp irit level and adjust 
if necessary.
3. Tighten the lock nut against the housing.
In doing so, hold the foot tight and do not adjust i ts height.
Caution: the lock nuts on all four appliance feet must be screw ed tightly 
against the housing.
Electrical connection
‘The washing machine must only be connected to an al ternating current via a 
properly installed earthed socket.
‘The power supply and voltage indicated on the washi ng machine (rating plate) 
must be the same.
‘The connected load and fuse required are specified  on the rating plate.
‘Make sure that: 
– the mains plug fits the socket,
– the cable cross-section is adequate,
– the earthing system is properly installed.
‘(If this is necessary), the mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified 
electrician. 
Replacement mains cables are available from the aft er-sales service.
‘Do not use multiple plugs/couplings or extension cables.
‘If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays this 
symbol: ³.
Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the cur rently applicable regulations.
‘Do not plug in or unplug the mains plug with wet hands.
Pull the appliance plug out of the socket at the pl ug only, not by the cable.

Transportation, e.g. when moving home 
Before transporting the washing machine:
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Drain residual water  > Operating instructions;  Maintenance - drain pump.
3. Release the water pressure in the inlet hose  > Operating instructions;  Maintenance - filter in 
water inlet.

5. Dismantle the hoses.
Preparing and installing transport braces:
1.Remove the two lower covers.
2.Affix the two lower transport braces. In doing so, t urn the bend on 
the hose holders inwards. Clamp the mains cable in t he holders. 
Tighten the screws.
After transportation, the transport braces  mustbe removed. –> page  3.
To prevent unused detergent from flowing straight i nto the drain during the next wash: Pour 
1 litre of water into compartment II and start the  Empty programme.
