Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety
valve in water (it contains an electric
valve).
Notes
■
Only operate the washing machine
using cold mains water.
■ Do not connect the machine to the
mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-
water boiler.
■ Do not use a used supply hose. Only
use the supply hose supplied or one
that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not kink or squash the water
supply hose.
■ Do not alter (shorten, cut through)
the water supply hose (otherwise its
strength is no longer guaranteed).
■ Only tighten the screw connections
by hand. If the screw connections
are tightened too much with a tool
(pliers), the thread may become
damaged.
■ When connecting to a 21 mm = ½"
tap, first fit an adapter* with a sealing
washer from 21 mm = ½" to
26.4 mm = ¾".
*supplied depending on the model
Optimum water pressure in the supply
network
At least 100 kPa (1 bar)
Maximum 1000 kPa (10 bar)
When the tap is open, the water flow
rate is at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection
Connect the water supply hose to the
tap (26.4 mm = ¾") and to the
appliance (not necessary for Aqua-Stop
models as this is permanently installed):
■ Model: Standard
■ Model: Aqua-Secure
■ Model: Aqua-Stop
Note: Turn on the tap carefully,
checking the leak tightness of the
connection points. The screw

:Warning
Risk of scalding!
When washing at high temperatures,
there is a risk of scalding if you come
into contact with hot detergent solution
(e.g. when draining hot detergent
solution into a washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot detergent
solution.
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the outlet hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the outlet hose is immersed
in the drained water, water may be
sucked back into the appliance and
may damage the appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
■ The plug does not block drainage
from the wash basin.
■ The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
■ The water drains away quickly
enough.
Note: Do not kink the water drain hose
or stretch it lengthways.
Connection
■
Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24–40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).
■ Drainage into a wash basin
Secure the outlet hose so that it
cannot slip out.
Elbow available from after-sales
service:
Individual part number 00655300
■ Drainage into a plastic pipe with
rubber sleeve or into a gully

Levelling
Align the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect alignment may result in loud
noises, vibrations and machine
"movement".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a WAF17
spanner, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2. Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
3. The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing using a suitable WAF17
spanner. In doing so, hold the foot
tight and do not adjust its height.
Electrical connection
:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
■ Never touch or hold the mains plug
with wet hands.
■ Only pull out the mains cable by the
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
■ Never unplug the mains plug during
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■
The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
■ The washing machine is only
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
■ The mains plug fits the socket.
■ The cable cross-section is adequate.
■ The earthing system is properly
installed.
■ The mains cable is only replaced by
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from customer
services.
■ No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug can be accessed at
all times. If this is not possible, in
order to comply with the relevant
safety regulations, a switch (2-pole
switch-off) must be built into the
permanent installation in accordance
with electrical installation regulations.
■ The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
■ The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.

Prepare the laundry
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
Foreign objects (e.g. coins, paperclips,
needles, nails) may damage the laundry
or components in the washing machine.
You should therefore note the following
tips when preparing your laundry:
■ Empty any pockets.
■ Look out for metal items (paperclips,
etc.) and remove them.
■ Wash delicates in a laundry bag
(tights, underwired bras, etc.).
■ Close any zips; button up any cover
buttons.
■ Brush sand out of pockets and
collars.
■ Remove curtain fittings or place
curtains in a laundry bag.
Sorting laundry
Sort your laundry according to the care
instructions and manufacturer's
information on the care labels,
depending on:
■ Type of fabric/fibre
■ Colour
Note: Laundry may discolour. Wash
white and coloured items separately.
Wash new coloured items separately
the first time you wash them.
■ Soiling
Wash laundry with the same level of
soiling together.
Some examples of soiling levels can
be found on ~ Page 26
– Light: Do not prewash, select the
SpeedPerfect setting if
necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, select
a programme with prewash
– Stains: Remove/pretreat stains
while they are fresh. Firstly, dab
with soapy water; do not rub.
Then wash the items of laundry
with the appropriate programme.
Stubborn or dried-in stains can
sometimes only be removed by
washing several times.
■ Symbols on the care labels
Note: The numbers in the symbols
indicate the maximum washing
temperature that may be used.

Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,

may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse these items of laundry
thoroughly beforehand.

Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual laundry
items may cause an unbalanced
load.
■ Observe the maximum specified
load. Overfilling adversely affects the
