Please make sure before loading the washing that there are no foreign bodies in the pockets or caught between the washing. Paperclips, nails, etc. that may have got into the washing machine with the washing remain in the pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel).

All the different plug caps are supplied with the appliance in the plastic bag containing the instruction booklet. Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water inlet”.
Making the appliance level 3 Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set. The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted.
Water inlet Attention! • An inlet hose is supplied and can be found inside the machine drum. • Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to the water supply. • This appliance must be connected to a cold water supply. 1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose. 2. Connect the hose with the angled connection to the machine. Important! Do not place the inlet hose downwards. Angle the hose to the left or right depending on the position of your water tap. 3.
Aqua Control The inlet hose is provided with a water stop device, which protects against damage caused by water leaks in the hose which could develop due to natural ageing of the hose. This fault is shown by a red sector in the window „A”. Should this occur, turn the water tap off and refer to your Service Centre to replace the hose. Water drainage The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface on which the appliance is installed and the water outlet is 1 metre.
– When draining into a wash basin or a bath, secure the drain hose with the supplied elbow to stop it slipping. Otherwise the water running out can force the hose out of the basin. – When pumping the water out, check that the water is running away fast enough. Pumping heights over 1 m The washing machine’s drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 1meter, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed.
