DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER Draining Residual Water Residual water should be removed: • before moving a washing machine (relocation), • when installing in areas prone to frost and • before removing the filter. 1.Before emptying the residual water, switch the appliance off and unplug it from the mains socket Make sure that the water has cooled before draining. 2.Turn the slot through 180°, so that the dot points to the open lock. To do this, use the insert from the detergent dispenser or a coin.
REMOVING THE FILTER Removing The Filter The filter must be taken out if: 1 • the washing machine does not drain properly, • small items, e. g. buttons and coins rattle in the pump and • 2 to 3 times a year for inspection. You must remove the residual water before taking out the filter. Carry out the steps in the “Draining Residual Water” section, but only up to point 4. Then follow the points given below. 1.Open the filter but do not withdraw it completely.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE This washing machine is equipped with automatic safety functions which detect and diagnose faults at an early stage and react appropriately. Often, however, the faults detected are small enough to be solved in a matter of minutes. For example: The appliance will not start; no lamp lights up. Check whether: • the appliance is plugged in; • the wall socket is functioning correctly (use a table lamp or similar to test); • a programme is selected correctly.
a. Water inlet fault (no water or insufficient water pressure) The digital display shows “FH”. Switch off the appliance by pressing the “Pause/Cancel” button twice and unplug it. Check whether: • the water tap is open and the water supply pressure is sufficient; • the water inlet hose is kinked; • the mesh filter between the tap and the hose is clean (see “Care and Maintenance/Mesh filter in water connection”); • the water supply hose is frozen up. Connect the appliance to the electrical supply.
INSTALLATION Remove the transit bolts 1.Slacken the four bolts with the spanner supplied (Fig. A). 2.Fully unscrew the bolts by hand. 3.Holding the bolt head, pull each bolt with its plastic spacer through the wide part of the holes (Fig. B). 4.Seal the resulting holes using the plastic caps supplied. To do this, insert the caps in the wide part of the hole in the direction of the arrow and push them into the narrow groove until they click into place (Fig. C). 5.
Adjust the feet Small unevennesses in the floor can be compensated for by screwing the four appliance feet up or down (never use pieces of wood, cardboard or similar material): 1.The washing machine must be installed horizontally in width and depth. Use a spirit level. 2.Loosen the locknut clockwise using the wrench provided. 3.Adjust the height of the foot by hand. 4.Tighten the locknut anti-clockwise to the washing machine.
Connect the water supply hoses Connect to the water mains using the new hose-sets supplied. Old hose-sets should not be reused. Connect the hoses preferably by hand. Do not overtighten. Follow the instructions on the enclosed programme chart and on the hose bag.
