Note: Drum Clean
After long periods of disuse we recommended running the programme Drum Clean with no load and small amount of detergent in washing agent compartment (2) or special machine cleaner to remove possibly corruptive residues.

Pump filter
Clean the filter once a month and check the pump filter for instanvce if the appliance:

• Doesn´t drain the water.

3. Provide a flat container to catch leach water (Fig. 7-6.3). There could be bigger amounts!
4. Pull the drain hose out and hold its end above the container (Fig. 7-6.3).
5. Take the sealing plug out of the drain hose (Fig. 7-6.3).
6. After complete drainage close drain hose (Fig. 7-6.4). and push it back into the machine.
7. Unscrew and remove counterclockwise the pump filter (Fig. 7-6.5).
8. Remove contaminants and dirt (Fig. 7-6.6).

• A damaged power cable should only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.

Information codes
The following codes are displayed only for information referring to the washing cycle. No measures must be performed.

Troubleshooting with display code

Troubleshooting without display code

Should the error messages reappear even after the taken measures, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power supply and contact customer service.

In case of power failure
The current programme and its setting will be saved. When power supply is restored operation will be resumed. In case of power failure during programme run door opening is mechanically blocked. If the laundry is to be removed, the water level must not be visible in the glass door.

• Danger of scalding!
• Lower the water level according to step 1 to 6 of chapter CARE AND CLEANING (PUMP FILTER).
• Pull lever (A) beneath service flap (Fig.8-4) until door is unlocked by a gentle click.

Installation

Preparation

• Take the appliance out of the packaging.
• Remove all packing material including polystyrene base, keep them out of children’s reach. While opening the package, water drops may be seen on plastic bags and portholes. Thai nomal phenomenon results from water tests in the factory.

Note: Packaging Disposal
Keep all packaging materials out of children´s reach and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.

OPTIONAL: Install noise reduction pads

1. When opening the package, you will find four nosie reduction pads. These are used for reducing noise(Fig.9-2).
2. Lay the washing machine down to its side, porthole pointing upwards, bottom side towards operator.
3. Take out the noise reduction pads and remove the double-sided adhesive protective film; paste around the bottom; the nosie reduction pads under the washing machine cabinet as shown in Figure 3(two longer pads in position 1 and 3, two shorter pads in position 2 and 4). Finally set the machine upright again.

Dismantle the transportation bolts
The transportation bolts are designed for clamping anti-vibration components inside the appliance du-ring transportation to prevent inner damage.

1. Remove the back cover.
2. Fill the 5 holes with blanking plugs (Fig.9-3).
3. Replace back cover by inserting it in the two gaps its convexity is facing out (Fig. 9-3.3).
4. Fill left holes with blanking plugs (Fig. 9-3.4).

Note: Keep in a safe place
Keep the transportation bolts in a safe place for later use. Whenever the appliance is to be moved at first reinstall the bolts.

Moving the appliance
If the machine is to be moved to a distant location, replace the transportation bolts re-moved before installation to prevent damage:

1. Remove the blanking plugs.
2. Remove the back cover.
3. Insert the plastic spacers and the transportation bolts.
4. Tighten the bolts with a spanner.
5. Replace the back cover.

Aligning the appliance
Adjust all feet (Fig. 9-5) to achieve a complete level position. This will minimize vibrations and thus noise during use. It will also reduce wear and tear. We recommend using a spirit level for adjustment. Floor should be as stable and flat as possible.

1. Loose the locknut (1) by using a wrench.
2. Adjust the high by turning the foot (2).
3. Tighten locknut (1) against the housing.

Drain Water Connection
Fix the water drain hose properly to piping. The hose has to reach at one point a height between 80 and 100 cm above the appliance bottom line! If possible keep always drain hose fixed to the clip at the appliance back.

WARNING!

• Use only the supplied hose set for the connection.
• Never reuse old hose sets!
• Only connect to cold water supply.
• Before connection, check whether the water is clean and clear.

The following connections are possible:

1. Drain hose to sink
   • Hang the drain hose with the U-support over the edge of a sink with adequate size (Fig. 9-6.1).
   • Protect the U-support sufficiently against slipping.
2. Drain hose to wastewater connection
   • The internal diameter of the standpipe with vent-hole must be a minimum 40 mm.
   • Put the drain hose for approx. 80 mm in the wastewater pipe.
   • Attach the U-support and secure it sufficiently (Fig. 9-6.2).
3. Drain hose to sink connection
   • The junction must lie above the siphon.
   • A spigot connection is usually closed by a pad (A).
   • That must be removed to prevent any dysfunction (Fig. 9-6.3).
   • Secure the drain hose with a clamp.

CAUTION!

• The Drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be securely fixed and leak-free. If the drain hose is placed on the ground or if the pipe is at a height of less than 80 cm, the washing machine will continuously drain while being filled (self-siphoning).
• The drain hose is not to be extended. If necessary contact after-sales service.

Fresh Water Connection
Make sure that the gaskets are inserted.

1. Connect the water inlet hose with the angled end to the appliance (Fig. 9-7.1)(Fig. 9-7.2). Tighten the screw joint by hand.

Electrical Connection
Before each connection check if:

• power supply, socket and fusing are appropriate to the rating plate.
• the power socket is earthed and no multi-plug or extension is used.
• the power plug and socket are strictly according.

Put the plug into the socket (Fig. 9-8).

WARNING!

• Ensure always that all connections (power supply, drain and fresh water hose) are firm, dry and leak-free!
• Take care these parts are never to be crushed, kinked, or twisted.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the service agent (see warranty card) to avoid a hazard.

Note: Drum Clean
After each installation or long periods of disuse, before first use and for regular maintenance run the programme Drum Clean with no load and a small amount of detergent in the washing agent compartment (2) or with a special machine cleaner to remove possibly corruptive residues.
