aged in operation.
Required tool:
13 mm ring or box spanner.
1. Loosen all three screws A, until they
will turn freely.
2. Push the screws A sideways and pull
them out, complete with the distance
sleeve; remove the tie-bar B (if exist-
ing).
3. Fit the three covers C (from the hard-
ware bag) to the openings in the rear
panel. Use a suitable tool (e.g. a
screwdriver) to push them in.

A C
The proper location
Install the appliance in a stable, level posi-
tion in frost-free surroundings.
A
If there is danger of frost, drain all re-
maining water (see "Care and mainte-
nance").
A
The floor must have a sufficient load-
bearing capacity!
If, for example, you place the washing
machine and a dryer on top of one an-
other, this combination can – when
loaded – reach a total weight of
160 kg.
A
If mounted on a pedestal:
Install seats for the front feet to pre-
vent the appliance from falling off
when spinning. (Customer service cat-
alogue no. 0005323700)
Important:
Do not stand appliance on the power
cable.
Keep at least 1 cm distance to walls of
other furniture.
Place the appliance only on a firm
floor, do not place on a long-pile car-
pet or similar.
Changing hinge position
If you wish to open the door to the other
side, you can have the hinge position re-
versed from left hand to right hand or vice
versa by our service technician.
Built-under installation
This appliance can be installed under a
worktop. A cover plate is required for built-
under installation (customer service cata-
logue no. ET 9.38.662.31).
A
Only authorised specialists are permit-
ted to carry out a built-under installa-
tion.
In addition, we recommend to fit two slid-
ing plates under the appliance's feet.
Levelling
Required tool:
17 mm open ended spanner, spirit level.
49
G
1. Loosen the locking nuts on the feet
with the open ended spanner.
2. Adjust feet until the appliance is level
and does not rock.
3. Important: Tighten all locking nuts af-
ter the machine has been levelled.
Connecting the water supply
This appliance can be connected to water
tabs with a 3/4" B.S.P. thread.
Important:
Bear the permissible water pressure
and the max. inlet temperature in
mind (see "Technical specifications").
Install a pressure reducing valve if the
water pressure is higher.
Do not connect to a water heater (in-
stantaneous water heater or unpressu-
rised boiler), as the water pressure is
insufficient.
Check with customer service for hose
extensions. Do not use home-made ex-
tensions with hose clamps or similar!
Use only the new hose supplied with
the machine, not an old existing one!
Ensure that there are no sharp bends
in the hose!
Required tool:
None. (Do not use a pipe wrench!)
1. If the inlet hose is not yet installed,
connect the offset end to the appli-
ance's rear panel and tighten "finger-
tight".
2. Connect the other end of the inlet
hose "finger-tight" to the water tap.
3
Depending on model, the water hose
has an integrated "Aquastop" or
"Aquastop PLUS", which turns off the
water supply should a leakage occur.
3. Open the water tap fully and check all
connections for tightness; close water
tap again. Correct the position of seals
and screw couplings, if necessary.
Connecting the drain hose
The drain hose can be hung to a wash-ba-
sin, sink or bathtub – or connected perma-
nently to a siphon trap.
Important:
Do not run the drain hose higher than
100 cm above floor level for the suds
pump to be able to pump out.
The water must be able to run off un-
hindered. Washbasins with a small
drain are not suitable.
The end of the hose must not im-
merge in the pumped-out water.
Check with customer service for hose
extensions. Do not use homemade ex-
tensions with hose clamps or similar!
Use only the new hose supplied with
the machine, not an old existing one!
Ensure that there are no sharp bends
in the hose!
Fastening the hose holder:
1. Pull the hose holder supplied over the
end of the drain hose.
Aquastop /
Aquastop PLUS

G
2. Hang drain hose with hose holder on
the edge of basin or tub and secure
against slipping off – e.g. with a chain
tied around the water tap.
Permanent connection to a siphon trap:
A
The connection should be made by a
qualified plumber, to prevent the hose
from slipping off. Risk of flooding!
Install the rubber hose supplied be-
tween drain hose and siphon trap and
secure with two hose clamps. Hose
clamps are available at specialized
dealers.
Electrical connection
Connect the appliance to a properly in-
stalled earthed outlet, which is protected
by a fuse of adequate capacity.
Important:
The connection must conform to the
applicable regulations in your country
and your local Electricity Board.
The power cable plug must be accessi-
ble after installation.
For a firmly fixed connection a master
switch with at least 3 mm contact
clearance must be used.
Voltage and rated fuse protection of
the appliance are shown on the rating
label at the rear.
depending
on model
3
Note down the appliance's model and
identication number from the rat-
ing label, in case you need help from
customer service.
The stated voltage must match with
your mains voltage.
Connection by extension cables or trail-
ing sockets is not permitted.
When connecting to the mains, the
programme selector must be set to
»Stop«.
B
A damaged power cable must be re-
placed by an authorised electrician.
Unless the appliance has been re-
paired it must not be operated! Risk of
electric shock!
The right plug
This appliance comes with a fitted plug.
If this plug is not suitable for your socket
outlet, it must be cut off and the appropri-
ate plug fitted (see below). The cut off
plug should be disposed of immediately to
prevent the possibility of electric shocks,
should it be plugged into a socket.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the
plug must not be used until a replacement
fuse cover has been fitted; it can be ob-
tained from your nearest electrical dealer.
The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that of the coloured marks or in-
serts in the base of the plug.
If the plug fitted is the moulded on type,
the fuse is a 13 amp ASTA approved fuse
to BS 1362.
With alternative plugs a 15 amp fuse must
be fitted either in the plug or in the mains
fuse box.
Fitting a different plug
The wires in the mains cable are coloured
in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow – Earth
Blue – Neutral
Brown – Live
If you fit your own plug the colours of
these wires may not correspond with the
identifying marks on the plug terminals.
51
G
This is what you have to do:
1. Connect the green and yellow (Earth)
wire to the terminal in the plug
marked "E" or with the symbol , or
coloured green, or green and yellow.
2. Connect the blue (Neutral) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked "N", or
coloured blue or black.
3. Connect the brown (Live) wire to the
terminal in the plug marked "L", or
coloured brown or red.
The first time

G
Preparing the laundry
A
Garments with metal parts (under-
wired bras, belt buckles, metal knobs,
etc.) can damage the appliance.
Remove metal parts, or put garments
in a laundry bag or similar!
Empty pockets, remove all foreign ob-
jects (coins, pens, paper clips). Put
small garments (baby socks, tights) in
a laundry bag or similar!
Handle curtains with extra care! Re-
move non-stainless runners and lead
tape not sewn in. Put tie runners,
which can not be removed, in a laun-
dry bag or similar.
Close zippers, sew on loose buttons,
mend unstitched seams and tears.
Wash only woollens marked "machine
wash" or "hand wash" and only with
the appropriate wash programme.
Wash new, coloured cottons separate-
ly they could be "bleeding".
Heavy stains should be treated appro-
priately before washing. If in doubt,
check with a chemist or dry cleaner.
Use only dyes/discolouring and an-
tiliming agents suitable for machine
wash. Observe the information given
on the packing!
The right amount
The max. load depends on the textile
type, the degree of soiling and the wash
programme.
A
Please note the information given in
the "Programme table"!
Overloading the drum adversely af-
fects the washing result.
3
Always try to utilize the max. load.
The door
3
While the programme is running, the
door is locked; the indicator lamp
»Door locked« is on.
As soon as the »Door locked« in-
dicator lamp goes out, the door can
be opened.
To open, push the door opener above
the door.
Place the laundry loosely in the drum;
if required, give extra detergent (in
eco bag or proportioning ball) in the
drum.
Close the door; push against the door
until you hear the door lock engage.
Take care no textiles are caught by the
door.
Washing detergents and
fabric conditioners
Detergent dispensing drawer
The detergent dispensing drawer is made

3
Of course this will only work for pro-
grammes without pre-wash.
Liquid detergent
When using liquid or gel-like washing de-
tergents, please note the following:
Do not use liquid detergent if you
wish to use the delay-timer function.
Use liquid detergent only for the main
wash cycle, not for pre-wash.
A
When using liquid detergent with the
delay-timer function or for pre-wash,
there is a risk of staining the textiles.
Use the detergent maker's proportion-
ing cup and follow the directions giv-
en on the packing.
Choice of washing detergent
The type of detergent used depends on
the type of textile, colour, degree of soiling
and desired washing temperature.
Use regular detergent for cottons (60 -
95 °C), otherwise use special deter-
gent for coloured and delicate wash.
Wash woollens only with a special de-
tergent for woollens.
Modular system washing detergents
allow for an individual addition of
bleaching agent and softener.
Use only washing detergents suitable
for use in washing machines.
Detergent proportioning
The amount of detergent required de-
pends on the laundry quantity, degree of
soiling and water hardness.

Check with your local water board for
the water hardness in your area.

degr.
It is absolutely necessary you propor-
tion as recommended on the packing!
For small amounts of laundry or only
slight soiling use accordingly less de-
tergent.
A
Proportion the highly concentrated
compact detergents very accurate!
Too much washing detergent causes:
heavy foaming, poor wash and rinsing
results, high burden on water.
Too little washing detergent causes:
the laundry to look grey, lime deposits
in the appliance.
Fabric softener
Fabric softener is filled in the compart-
ment III of the detergent dispensing draw-
er.
Proportion as recommended on the
packing!
Fill only up to the red max. mark.
Dilute viscous fabric softeners with
water before filling in.
3
If you dry your laundry in a dryer or
outdoors, you do not need a fabric
softener.
Starch
Fill liquid starch and finishing agent,
same as fabric softener (see above), in-
to compartment III.
Mix powdered starch as instructed on
the packing and fill into
compartment II.
3
Never use fabric softener and starch
together in the same washing cycle.
Wipe drum after starching.

Wash programmes
Programme selector
The programme selector can be turned ei-
ther clockwise or counter-clockwise.

With the programme selector a pro-
gramme is
selected
; however, it will
start
only if the »Start/Pause« but-
ton is pressed.
For detailed information about the individ-
ual wash programmes, refer to the "Pro-
gramme table".
Main programmes
Depending on the type of textile, the fol-
lowing main programmes are available:
Cottons
Synthetics
Delicates
Wool / Hand wash
Each of these main programmes comprises
a complete washing cycle wash, rinse
and, where appropriate, spin.
A
Always adjust the programme to suit
the textile type, colour, degree of soil-
ing and the permissible washing tem-
perature.
Always observe the care symbols
shown on the garment labels!
For each main programme different tem-
peratures can be selected.
3
Select the temperature only as high as
absolutely necessary.
A high temperature means high pow-
er consumption.
Special programmes
For specific applications you can select any
of the following special programmes:
Soft rinse
This programme is also used for
starching.
Spin/Pump
This programme spins at maximum
speed.
A
For delicate fabrics the spin speed
should be reduced!
You can also use this programme if the
machine has stopped for a rinse hold,
and you want to pump out water (see
Rinsehold ).
Quick 30°C
Select this programme if you need to
wash small loads of cotton/blended
fabrics only briefly.

Additional functions/options
Buttons
3
Depending on the selected pro-
gramme (see "Programme Table"),
specific additional functions can be ac-
tivated by pressing a button.
Press the required buttons before
starting the programme.
Any combination of functions not sen-
sible can not be selected; a buzzer
sounds a warning.
Pre-wash
This button activates a pre-wash, which is
made at a temperature of 40 °C.
A pre-wash is only worth while with
heavily soiled laundry.
Without pre-wash you save energy,
water, washing detergent and time.
Intensive
This function extents the wash time of the
main-wash cycle. The washing detergent
can work more effective, you can wash at
lower temperatures and thus save up to
35% on energy.
Normal soiled laundry that can be
boiled you can now wash at 60 °C in-
stead of 95 °C, plus this button.
Normal soiled easy-cares you can
wash at 40 °C instead of 60 °C, plus
this button.
Extra rinsing
This function includes an extra rinse cycle.
Use this function only if you are sensi-
tive to washing detergent residue.
The increased water consumption is a
burden on the environment and
your purse.
If the foam detection system detects
an overdose of washing detergent, an
extra rinse cycle is included
automati-
cally
.
Short programme
With this button the wash time is short-
ened.
Use this function for small loads or less
soiled laundry.
surfliss
(crease protection)
When this button is pressed, the drum ro-
tation is reduced and spinning limited to
reduce creasing. In addition, the washing
is done at a higher water level.
Use this function only for delicate fab-
rics which crease easily.
A
The maximum load capacity then is
for cottons: .......................... 3.0 kg
for easy-care: ....................... 1.5 kg
for delicates: ........................ 1.0 kg
Bio
If you activate this function, the laundry is
soaked for about an hour before the wash
cycle starts.
Use this function if heavily soiled and
for stains such as protein, blood or co-
coa.
Rinsehold
If you press this button, the programme
stops after the last rinse cycle. The laundry
remains in the water (to protect against
creasing).
Once the rinsehold is reached, the in-
dicator lamp begins to flash.
Refer to "At a glance", to find out what
is to be done at this point.

G
Child-proof lock/Programme lock
3
When the child-proof lock is activated,
the switched-off appliance can not
be started;
a running programme can not be
changed anymore.
To activate the child-proof lock:
Press both buttons indicated by the
arrows simultaneously and hold them
for approx. 2 seconds, until the fol-
lowing message is displayed:
"Cycle locked".
When a programme is running, a mes-
sage such as below is displayed:
"Cycle locked on Cotton 60°C".
3
If the programme selector is set to
»Stop«, the programme stops and the
following message is displayed:
"Cycle locked: return to …".
In this case select the original pro-
gramme, then deactivate the child-
proof lock.
To deactivate the child-proof lock:
Press both buttons indicated by the
arrows simultaneously and hold them
for approx. 2 seconds, until the fol-
lowing message is displayed:
"Cycle unlocked".
Spin speed selector
3
Each programme automatically sets
the maximum spin speed suitable (see
"Programme table").
On the left of the display the current
speed is shown in revolutions per
minute (speeds depending on model).
For especially sensitive textiles the spin
speed should be reduced.
By turning the spin speed selector ,
the spin speed can be changed or
completely deselected:
spin speed indication "0".
When spinning is deselected, the ap-
pliance does not spin at programme
end but only pumps off the water.
3
The higher the spin speed, the lower
the residual moisture.
If you wish to dry your laundry in a
dryer afterwards, select the maximum
spin speed this helps saving energy
when drying.
