Noise and vibration
Make sure the appliance is levelled using the adjustable legs and that the jam nuts are securely tightened.
· Unevenly distributed laundry or lumps of laundry in the washing machine drum
can cause problems such as vibration and noisy operation.
· The washing machine detects such problems and the UKS (stability control
system) will be activated. · Smaller loads (e.g. one towel, one sweater, one
bathrobe etc.) or clothes made of materials with special geometrical
properties are virtually impossible to distribute evenly across the washing
machine drum (slippers, large items etc.). This results in several attempts to
redistribute the laundry, which in turn leads to longer programme duration. In
extreme cases of unfavourable conditions, the programme can be completed
without the spinning cycle. · The UKS (stability control system) allows
stable operation and a longer useful life of the washing machine.
If the problems persist despite observing the advice above, call an authorised service technician. Repairs or warranty claims resulting from incorrect connection or use of the washing machine shall not be covered by the warranty. In this case, the user will cover the cost of repair.

DIE VERRIEGELUNGSSTANGEN DER TRANSPORTSICHERUNG ENTFERNEN
WARNUNG! Vor der ersten Verwendung des Geräts müssen die Transportschrauben
aus der Rückseite des Geräts entfernt werden. Ein verriegeltes Gerät kann
beschädigt werden, wenn es zum ersten Mal eingeschaltet wird. Diese Art von
Schäden wird nicht von der Gewährleistung abgedeckt!
1. Entfernen Sie die Schläuche und schrauben Sie die Schrauben aus der
Rückseite der Waschmaschine. Nehmen Sie die zwei Winkelstücke heraus.
2. Schieben Sie die Winkelstücke auf die Nut in der Verriegelungsstange;
bevor Sie dies tun, müssen Sie das rechte Winkelstück umdrehen.
3. Drehen Sie die Verriegelungsstangen mit den Winkelstücken um 90° und
ziehen Sie sie heraus.
4. Verschließen Sie die zwei Öffnungen, durch die die Verriegelungsstangen
eingesetzt waren, mit Kunststoffabdeckungen, und bringen Sie die Schrauben,
die Sie in Schritt 1 entfernt haben, wieder an. Die Kunststoffabdeckungen
finden Sie im Beutel mit der Bedienungsanleitung der Waschmaschine.
UMSTELLEN UND TRANSPORT NACH DER INSTALLATION
i Wenn Sie die Waschmaschine umstellen möchten, nachdem diese installiert
wurde, müssen die Winkelstücke und
mindestens eine Verriegelungsstange wieder eingebaut werden, um zu verhindern,
dass während des Transports durch Schwingungen Schäden an der Waschmaschine
entstehen (siehe die vorherige Seite). Wenn Sie die Winkelstücke und
Verriegelungsstangen nicht mehr haben, können Sie diese beim Hersteller
bestellen.
Nach dem Transport muss die Waschmaschine mindestens zwei Stunden stehen
bleiben, bevor sie an das Stromnetz angeschlossen wird. Dadurch hat das Gerät
Zeit, Raumtemperatur anzunehmen. Das Gerät muss von einem ausgebildeten
Techniker installiert und angeschlossen werden.
Lesen Sie die Bedienungsanleitung sorgfältig durch, bevor Sie die
Waschmaschine anschließen. Reparaturen oder Garantieansprüche, die durch einen
falschen Anschluss oder eine falsche Verwendung der Waschmaschine entstehen,
werden nicht von der Gewährleistung abgedeckt.
FÜR DIE INSTALLATION BENÖTIGTER PLATZ
WARNUNG! · Stabilität ist ein wichtiger Faktor, um zu verhindern, dass sich
das Produkt durch den Aufstellungsort bewegt! Stellen Sie
sicher, dass Sie das Gerät auf einem stabilen Untergrund aufstellen und in
Längs- und Querrichtung genau ausrichten, indem Sie die verstellbaren Füße
nach oben oder unten drehen. · Kontrollieren Sie, dass das Gerät nicht auf dem
Stromkabel steht. · Achten Sie darauf, dass der minimal benötigte Abstand zu
den Wänden eingehalten wird (siehe die Abbildung).
i Der Raum, in dem das Gerät aufgestellt wird, muss folgende Anforderungen
erfüllen:
1. Er ist trocken und hat ein ebenes und stabiles Fundament. 2. Direktes
Sonnenlicht wird vermieden. 3. Eine ausreichende Be-/Entlüftung ist
gewährleistet. 4. Die Raumtemperatur liegt über 0 °C. 5. Das Gerät ist weit
von Wärmequellen wie Kohle-, Gas- oder Holzbrennern entfernt.

DAS GERÄT WAAGERECHT AUSRICHTEN
Verwenden Sie dazu eine Wasserwaage und Maulschlüssel in den Größen 32 (für
die Füße) und 17 (für die Mutter). 1. Richten Sie die Waschmaschine in Längs-
und Querrichtung
waagerecht aus, indem Sie die verstellbaren Füße nach oben oder unten
verdrehen. 2. Nachdem die Höhe der Füße richtig eingestellt wurde, ziehen Sie
die Sechskantmuttern (Gegenmuttern) mit dem Maulschlüssel 17 fest an; drehen
Sie die Muttern gegen die Unterseite der Waschmaschine (siehe Abbildung).
i Eine falsche Ausrichtung der Waschmaschine mit den
verstellbaren Füßen kann Schwingungen verursachen oder dazu führen, dass sich
das Gerät durch den Raum bewegt und/ oder dass laute Betriebsgeräusche erzeugt
werden.
Eine falsche Ausrichtung der Waschmaschine wird nicht von der Gewährleistung abgedeckt.
Es kann vorkommen, dass während des Betriebs des Geräts ein ungewöhnliches oder lauteres Geräusch zu hören ist; dies wird in den meisten Fällen durch eine falsche Installation verursacht.
DEN WASSERZULAUFSCHLAUCH ANSCHLIESSEN
WARNUNG! Um Undichtigkeiten oder Wasserschäden zu vermeiden, müssen Sie unbedingt die Anweisungen in diesem Kapitel befolgen. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der Wasserzulaufschlauch nicht geknickt, zusammengedrückt oder verändert wurde.
