Installation

Transit bar removal

A

Before the washing machine is operat-

ed, the transit bars must be removed!

Otherwise the appliance may be dam-

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.

Store the transit bars in a safe place.

• They will be required if the washing

machine is to be transported again

(e.g. if you move house).

A

Never transport the appliance without

installed transit bars!

A

B

A A

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

50

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

identiﬁcation 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

3

If a buzzer sounds or the appliance

can not be switched on, refer to sec-

tion "Troubleshooting".

• After all connections have been made,

(material), colour, degree of soiling

and permissible washing temperature.

A

Always observe the care symbols

shown on the garment labels!

• Do not wash white and coloured laun-

dry together! New, dark coloured cot-

tons will stain very much.

Type of textiles and care symbols

Cottons: cotton, linen

Easy-care: synthetics (polyester, poly-

amide); mixed fabrics (with cotton)

Delicates: Sensitive fabrics (viscose, silk,

etc.); curtains

Wool: Only with wool label and marked

"machine wash"

machine

wash

Hand wash: Do not wash:

52

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.

Washing detergents and

fabric conditioners

Detergent dispensing drawer

The detergent dispensing drawer is made

up of 3 compartments:

Compartment I for pre-wash

Compartment II for main-wash or starch

(dissolved powdered

starch)

Compartment III for fabric softener or

starch (liquid starch)

• Always fill in detergent and fabric con-

ditioner before the starting the wash

programme.

A

Never open the detergent dispensing

drawer while the wash programme is

still running!

Proportioning aids

By means of detergent bags or proportion-

ing balls the washing detergent can be

placed directly in the drum.

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.

3

Check with your local water board for

the water hardness in your area.

• 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.

3

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.

56

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.
