Observe the following when connecting
the machine:
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.

that was purchased from an
authorised specialist retailer.
■ Do not bend, squash, modify or 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 be
damaged.
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 is
at least 8 l/min.
If the water pressure is higher than this,
a pressure-reducing valve must be
installed.
Connection

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
Level the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect levelling may result in intense
noise, vibrations and "wandering".
1. Loosen the lock nuts using a
wrench, 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.
Positioning and connecting en

3. Tighten the lock nut against the
housing.
In doing so, hold the foot tight and
do not adjust its height.
The lock nuts on all four appliance
feet must be screwed tightly against
the housing.
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

■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays this
symbol is used: z.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug must be freely
accessible 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 bent,
squashed, modified, cut through, or
in contact with heat sources.
Before using the appliance for
the first time
The washing machine was thoroughly
tested before leaving the factory.To
remove any water that may be left over
from the test, run the first wash cycle
without any laundry.
Notes
■ The washing machine must be

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 can discolour or not
be cleaned correctly. 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 24.
– Light: Do not prewash, select the
Speed setting if necessary
– Normal
– Heavy: Load less laundry, select
a program 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 program.
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.
Starching
Note: Laundry should not be treated
with fabric softener.
Liquid starch can be used to stiffen
fabrics particularly in the Rinse and
Cottons programmes. Measure starch
into compartment M in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions (clean
first if necessary).
Dyeing/bleaching
Dye should only be used in normal
household quantities. Salt may damage

Placing laundry into the drum
:Warning
Danger of death!
Items of laundry pretreated with
cleaning agents that contain solvents,
e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent,
may cause an explosion after being
loaded into the washing machine.
Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly
beforehand.
Notes
■ Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.
Laundry items of different sizes
distribute themselves better during
the spin cycle. Individual items of
laundry may lead to imbalances.
■ Observe the specified maximum
load. Overfilling has a negative
impact on the washing result and
promotes creasing.
1. Place presorted items of laundry
unfolded in the washing drum.
2. Make sure that no items of laundry
are trapped between the washing
machine door and the rubber seal,
and close the door.
Measure and add detergent
and care products
Caution!
Damage to the appliance
Cleaning agents and agents for
pretreating laundry (e.g. stain removers,
prewash sprays, etc.) may cause
damage if they come into contact with
the surfaces of the washing machine.
Do not allow these agents to come into
contact with the surfaces of the washing
machine. If necessary, immediately wipe
away spray residue and other residues/
droplets with a damp cloth.
