Installation and connection instructions Installation and connection instructions Installation Safety Precautions • Do not tilt the washing machine onto its front or onto its right side (viewed from the front). Electronic components can get wet. • Check the washing machine for transport damages. A damaged unit must never be put into operation under any circumstances. In the event of damage, please contact your supplier.
Installation and connection instructions Installation of the appliance 3 Washing machines with curved panels are not suitable for installing under units. Transporting the appliance • Do not place the washing machine on its front or on its right side (viewed from the front). Otherwise, electrical components can get wet. • Never transport the unit without the transport safeguard. Do not remove the transport safeguard until the appliance is at the installation location.
Installation and connection instructions 2. Pull both hose holders off the appliance with a strong pull. 3 The special spanner (A) and the caps (B) (2 each) and (C) (1 each) are supplied with it. 3.

Installation and connection instructions Prepare the installation place • The installation surface must be clean and dry, free of floor polish residues and other greasy coatings so that the unit does not slip away. Do not use lubricants as a sliding aid. • Installation on a high-veil carpet or floor tiles with soft sponge backs is not recommended because the standing safety of the appliance is then no longer ensured.
Installation and connection instructions Compensate for floor unevenness 3 Automatic adjustment foot: The rear left foot of your washing machine is designed as a spring leg. This means that it guarantees that your unit will stand securely even at high spin speeds. If, nevertheless, the washing machine is unstable during spinning, please proceed as follows: 1. Set the three adjusted feet at the nominal value of 10 mm. To do this, use the supplied special spanner to remove the transport safeguard.
Installation and connection instructions Electrical connection Details of the mains voltage, current type and required fuses can be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is located at the top above the filling door. For permanent electrical connection within the electrical circuit, provisions must be made which allow for electrical disconnection of the appliance from the mains with a contact opening of at least 3 mm at all poles.
Installation and connection instructions Water inflow A pressure hose 1.5m in length is supplied. If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by our Customer Service is permissible. – Hose sets in lengths of 2.2m, 3.5m and 5m are available for washing machines without Aqua-Control. – Hose sets in lengths of 2.0m, 2.9m and 3.9m are available for washing machines with Aqua-Control.
