Installation and connection instructions Installation and connection instructions Installation Safety Precautions • When moving do not tilt the washing machine onto its front or onto its right hand side (viewed from the front). This is to prevent the possibility of the electronic components becoming wet. • Before installation inspect the machine for transport damage. Do not connect the appliance if it is damaged - contact your retailer.
Installation and connection instructions Installation of the appliance Transporting the appliance • Do not place the washing machine on its front or on its right hand side (viewed from the front). This is to prevent the possibility of the electronic components becoming wet. • Never transport the unit without the transport packaging and bolts/ bars. Do not remove the transport packaging until the appliance is at the installation location. Transporting the unit without the transport packaging can damage it.
Installation and connection instructions 3 The special spanner A and the caps B (2 each) and C (1 each) are supplied with it. 3. Remove the screw D, including the compression spring with the special spanner A. 4. Cover the hole with the cap C. Important! When fitting the plastic caps, press until they snap into the rear panel securely. 5. Remove the two screws E with the special spanner A. 6. Remove the 4 screws F. 7. Remove the transit bar G. 8. Screw the 4 screws F back in for safe keeping. 9.
Installation and connection instructions Installation-Site preparation • The installation surface must be clean, dry and level. Do not install on a deep pile carpet. • Minor unevenness of the floor surface should never be levelled out by laying pieces of wood, card or similar materials, but should always be compensated for by adjusting the screw feet. • If the appliance is installed next to a heat source (e.g.
Installation and connection instructions Levelling the appliance Self adjusting foot: The rear foot of your washing machine is designed like a spring leg. This makes the machine very stable even at high spin speeds. If the washing machine is still not stable during spinning, proceed as follows: 0 1. Set the three adjustable feet to the nominal value of 10 mm. Use the supplied spanner. If the self adjusting foot does not reach the floor: 2.
Installation and connection instructions Electrical Connection Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 1 WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. The manufacturer declines any liability should these safety measures not be observed. Before switching on, make sure the electricity supply voltage is the same as that indicated on the appliance rating plate. The rating plate is located at the top of the rim of the open door.
Installation and connection instructions Permanent Connection In the case of a permanent connection it is necessary that you install a double pole switch between the appliance and the electricity supply (mains), with a minimum gap of 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations. The switch must not break the yellow and green earth cable at any point.
Installation and connection instructions Water pressure The appliance is designed to operate within the following water pressure units. Minimum 1 bar (= 10N/cm2 = 0.1 Mpa), maximum 10 bar (= 100N/cm2 = 1 Mpa). • If more than 10 bar: Install a pressure-reduction valve upstream • If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose from the appliance at the inlet solenoid valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove the filter with needle nose pliers and remove the rubber washer behind the filter).
Installation and connection instructions Inlet Hose Connection 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 your local Service Force Centre 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.
Installation and connection instructions Water Drainage The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see diagram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe. Important! It is essential to lay the drainage hose without kinks.
Installation and connection instructions If you intend the drain hose from the washing machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hose is not blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the pumped-out water. Otherwise, the water could be sucked back into the appliance.
