Troubleshooting with display code

Troubleshooting without display code

Note: Foam formation
If too much foam is inspected during the spin cycle, the motor stops, and the drain pump will be activated for 90 seconds. If that elimination of foam fails up to 3 times, program ends without spinning.

If too much foam is inspected during spin cycle, motor stops and drain pump will be activated for 90 seconds. If that elimination of foam fails up to 3 times, program ends without spinning. 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 the power supply is restored operation will be re-edited. If a power failure cuts an operating wash programme door opening is mechanically blocked. To get out any laundry water level should not be seen in the glassy porthole of the door. – Danger of burns! The water level has to be lowered as described in the “Pump filter”. Not till then pull lever (A) beneath the service flap (Fig. 9-1) until a door is unlocked by a gentle click. Afterward, refix all parts. When the washing machine in a safe state (under the water level below the window along a certain distance, barrel temperature below 55 C, the inner barrel did not turn), may unlock the doors of the machine operation.

Installation

Preparation

• Take the appliance out of the packaging.
• Remove all packaging material including protecting film on the cabinet, and polystyrene base, and keep them out of children’s reach. While opening the package, water drops may be seen on plastic bag and porthole. This normal 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 shrink package, you will find four noise-reduction pads. These are used for reducing noise(Fig. 10-1).
2. Lay the washing machine down to its side, port- -hole pointing upwards, the bottom side towards the operator.
3. Take out the noise reduction pads and remove the double-sided adhesive protective film; paste around the bottom; the noise 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 during transportation to prevent inner damage.

1. Remove all 4 bolts on the rear side and take out plastic spacers (Fig. 10-2)(Fig. 10-3).
2. Fill left holes with blanking plugs (Fig. 10-4)(Fig. 10-5)

Note: Keep in safe place
Keep all parts of the transport protection in a sate place for later use. Whenever the ap- reliance is to be moved at first reinstall the protection parts.

Moving the appliance
If the machine is to be moved to a distant location, replace the transportation bolts removed before installation to prevent damage: The assembly takes place in reverse order.

Aligning the appliance
Adjust all feet (Fig. 10-6) to achieve a complete level position. This will minimize vibrations and thus noise during use. It will also reduce wear and tear. We recommend to use a spirit level for adjustment. The floor should be as stable and flat as possible.

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

Drain Water Connection
Fix the water drain hose properly to the 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 the cold water supply.
• Before connection, check whether the water is clean and clear.

The following connections are possible:

Drain hose to sink

• Hang the drain hose with the U-support over the edge of a sink with adequate size (Fig. 10-7).
• Protect the U-support sufficiently against slipping.

Drain hose to a wastewater connection

• The internal diameter of the standpipe with vent-hole must be a minimum of 40 mm.
• Put the drain hose for 80-100mm in the wastewater pipe.
• Attach the U-support and secure it sufficiently (Fig. 10-8).

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. 10-9).
• Secure the drain hose with a clamp.

CAUTION!

• The drain hose should not be submerged in water and should be securely xed 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 lled (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. 10-10). Tighten the screw joint by hand.
2. The other end connects to a water tap with a 3/4″ thread (Fig. 10-11)

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 are used.
• the power plug and socket are strictly according.
• Only UK: The UK plug meets BS1363A standard. Put the plug into the socket (Fig. 10-12).

!WARNING!

• Ensure always that all connections (power supply, drain, and fresh water hose) are firm. dry and leack 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.
