BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME PACKAGING Remove all packaging. Please sort the materials in compliance with local recommendations (see chapter ”DISPOSAL”). TRANSPORT PROTECTION Before using the appliance, remove the three transport bolts and plastic plugs which protect the appliance during transport. 1 2 3 1 Release and remove the bolts as shown in the figures. 2 To remove the plastic plugs holding the bolts, squeeze them and then pull them out.
CLEANING Disconnect the washing machine from the power mains and open the door. Clean the washing machine drum with a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Connect the washing machine to the power mains and run the dedicated drum cleaning program. See chapter "WASHING PROCESS; STEP BY STEP (1–8)" /STEP 5: CHOOSE THE PROGRAM. No program can be started while the door is open.
The amount of detergent also depends on the hardness of water. For details, see the detergent packaging. Please contact your local water supply company to check the water hardness in your area. In models with ADS the amount of detergent dispensed also depends on the water hardness setting. Before using the AD system for the first time, run one of the programs (without any laundry), after filling the A or B tank with liquid detergent (see chapter ”SPECIAL FEATURES”).
INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION POSITIONING THE WASHING MACHINE The washing machine can be installed as a builtin (integrated) or a free-standing unit. Place the machine on a level surface so that the power outlet on the wall is accessible. Free-standing appliance If you have a dryer of suitable dimensions (by another dryer manufacturer), use the vacuum feet to stack it on top of the washing machine, or place it next to it.
Make sure there is clearance between appliances and cabinet or wall and 25 mm minimum clearance between the rear edge of the appliance top panel and the cabinet or wall. When closet or cabinet is closed by the door, we recommend louvered doors, to ensure proper ventilation. 50 mm 65 mm Otherwise there must be ventilation openings on the door.
ADJUSTING THE FEET Place the washing machine so that it is stable. 1. Level the washing machine in longitudinal and traverse direction by rotating the adjustable feet (using a No. 32 spanner). The feet allow levelling by +/- 1 cm. 2. When the appropriate height of feet is set, use the wrench No. 17 to firmly fasten the counter-nuts towards the bottom of the appliance . 3. Tighten the jam nuts (counter nuts) to the end position. This will reduce washing machine noise, vibration, movement etc. to minimum.
CONNECTING TO WATER SUPPLY CONNECTING TO HOT/COLD WATER SUPPLY The machine has to be connected to water supply by an adequately trained person. (Only available in some models) If your appliance has connections for both hot and cold water, then connect one hose to the cold water connection and the other hose to the hot water connection, as indicated on the back of the appliance: COLD = cold and HOT = hot. Hot water is supplied for programs operating at 40 °C or more.
INSTALLING THE DRAIN HOSE Upon delivery, the appliance has a drain hose attached. This drain hose must be connected to a drain. Drain hose can also be attached to a wall drain with a trap; such trap should be properly installed to allow cleaning. The height of the drain should be 600–900 mm above the floor. The lower position (600 mm) is always recommended. Make sure the drain hose is not clipped or bent. Use the supplied hose clamp if you connect the drain hose according to option (B).
CONNECTING TO THE POWER MAINS After installation, the washing machine should stand still for two hours before it is connected to the power mains. Connect the appliance to an earthed power outlet. After installation, the wall outlet should be freely accessible. The outlet should be fitted with an earth contact (in compliance with the relevant regulations). Connection upon delivery TYPE: WMXX.XXXXX MODEL: XXXXXX.X Art.No.: XXXXXX/XX Ser.No.

TIPS BEFORE WASHING This chapter includes several tips on how to prepare the laundry for washing. LAUNDRY SYMBOLS Observe the laundry symbols. Textile maintenance symbols: LAUNDRY SORTING Sort the laundry according to: • how soiled it is, • colour, • material. Washing Normal CLOTHING 1. Close the zips and hook-and-loop fasteners so that they do not damage the fabric. 2. New dyed items may contain excess dye; therefore, they have to be washed separately several times. 3. Turn delicate items inside out.
DYED COTTON ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY Laundry made of dyed cotton which is to be washed at 60 °C should be first washed at a temperature of 60 °C to remove the excess dye. If this is not done, there is danger of dye being washed out of such items. To maintain the colour of the fabric, use bleach-free detergent. You can save a lot of energy by not using the programs operating at higher temperatures. Choose the Quick program if you wish to only refresh the laundry; or use the Time program.
