In addition, remove the power plug from the power point or if the appliance has been hard-wired switch off the cutout in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse. If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and turn off the tap. Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug. Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard. Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of electric shock. When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door will become hot. Do not touch it! Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool down. Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small animals away from the washing machine.

Disposal 1

Packaging material The packaging materials are environmentally friendly and can be recycled. The plastic components are identified by markings, e.g. >PE<, >PS<, etc. Please dispose of the packaging materials in the appropriate container at your local waste disposal facilities. Old appliance Please dispose of your old appliance in line with the guidelines for disposal in your area. Warning: When your appliance has finished its working life, remove the plug from the mains socket. Cut off the cable and plug and dispose of them. Destroy the door lock. This prevents children from trapping themselves inside and endangering their lives.

Preparing and sorting washing
Preparing washing Empty the pockets. Remove foreign bodies (e.g. coins, paper clips, nails, etc.). Do up zips, button up covers to prevent damage to washing. Remove the runners from net curtains or cover them with a net or a bag. Wash delicate and small items in a net/pillowcase, e. g. net curtains, tights, small socks, handkerchiefs, bras. Important: Bras and other items containing wires should only be washed in a net bag. The wires can work loose and damage the appliance. Sorting washing By colour: Wash white and coloured washing separately. Washing can run. By temperature, type of washing and care symbol. Important: Do not wash fabrics with the G care symbol (= do not wash!) in the washing machine.

If the wash result is not satisfactory
The washing is grey and there are limescale deposits in the drum Too little detergent was used. An incorrect detergent was used. Individual stains were not pre-treated. The programme or temperature was not set properly. There are grey stains on the washing Items that were soiled with ointments, fats or oils were washed using too little detergent. The wash temperature used was too low. A common cause is that conditioner in particular the type in concentrated form - has come in contact with the washing. Wash out such marks as soon as possible and exercise care when using the said conditioner. Foam can still be seen following the final rinse Modern detergents can cause foam to be created even during the final rinse. In spite of this, the washing has been sufficiently rinsed. There are white residues on the washing What can be seen here are insoluble substances which modern detergents contain. They are not the result of insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the washing. If possible turn the washing inside out before washing. Check your selection of detergent and perhaps use liquid detergent instead. 20

Where to install

Important! The washing machine must not be operated in a room where there is a danger of frost. There is a risk of frost damage or adverse effect on the perfomance of the machine. Frost damage is not covered under the warranty. The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm and level. Do not install the appliance on carpeted floors or soft floor coverings. The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean and dry and free from grease, so that the appliance does not slide. If the location in which the appliance is to be installed is fitted with small-format tiles, put a rubber mat (available in the shops) under the appliance. If the appliance is to stand on a floor which moves, e.g. a suspended wooden floor: Place the appliance in an area as close as possible to a corner of the room. 1. Screw a water-resistant wooden board (at least 15 mm thick) onto at least 2 of the floor joists.

Making the appliance level
The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted. Large degrees of unevenness can be compensated for by adjusting the four feet of the appliance. Use the special spanner supplied to do this. Important: Do not use pieces of wood, cardboard or such like to level out small degrees of unevenness in the floor. Adjust the adjustable feet instead.

Electrical Connection 1

Any electrical work required to install this appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician or competent person. 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 appliance is supplied with a 13 amp plug fitted. In the event of having to change the fuse in the plug supplied, a 13 amp ASTA approved (BS 1362) fuse must be used. Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow: Earth Blue: Neutral Brown: Live The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol E or coloured green and yellow. 27
The wire coloured blue must be connected to the terminal N or coloured black. The wire coloured brown must be connected to the terminal marked L or coloured red. Upon completion there must be no cut, or stray strands of wire present and the cord clamp must be secure over the outer sheath. WARNING! A cut off plug inserted into a 13 amp socket is a serious safety (shock) hazard. Ensure that the cut off plug is disposed of safely.

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 3mm 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. This appliance complies with the requirements laid out in the EEC Directive 76/899. Voltage 240 V AC: Fuse rating 13amps See rating plate for further information. This appliance meets VDE requirements. Particular regulations of local electricity authorities must be observed. This appliance conforms to EEC Directive No. 82/499/EWG on radio interference. WARNING! Repairs to electrical appliances must only be carried out by trained personnel. Improper repairs may lead to serious risks for the user.

Connecting the appliance to the water supply
Important: This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply. When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits. Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the requirements of DIN1986 and DIN1988. Do not kink or crush the water inlet hose or drain hose.

Permitted water pressure

The water pressure must be at least 1 bar (=10N/cm2 =0.1MPa), and may be a maximum of 10bar (=100N/cm2 =1MPa). If more than 10bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. If less than 1bar: Disconnect the appliance end of the inlet hose from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition remove the filter using pointed pliers and take out the rubber gasket behind it.) Replace the filter.

Water inlet

A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance. If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are to be used. Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths. Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose fitting or are included as spare parts. Do not use any other sealing rings. Important! All threaded hose fittings must only be tightened by hand. 1. Connect the hose with the right-angle connector to the machine. Important! Do not position the inlet hose vertically downwards. Position it to the right or the left as shown in the illustration.
2. Connect the hose with the straight connector to a water tap with an R (inch) screw thread. 3. Slowly turn on the tap and check that all connections are watertight.

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. When discharging into a standpipe ensure that the top of the curve in the hose end is no more than 90 cm (35.4) and no less than 60 cm (23.6) above floor level.
The upright standpipe should have a minimum, length of 30 cm (12) from the bottom of the elbow to the top of the pipe (see diagram). Make sure that it is designed in such a way that the end of the drain hose cannot be covered with water. Longer drain hoses are available in lengths of 2.7 and 4 metres from your Service Force Centre. For drainage into an outlet spigot: If the outlet spigot has not been used before, remove any blanking plug that may be in place. Push the drain hose onto the spigot and secure with a clip if required. Ensure the drain hose is looped upwards to prevent waste water from the sink entering the washing machine. 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. 31

Pumping heights of over 1 metre
The washing machines drain pump is able to pump water to a height of 1metre, calculated from the surface on which the appliance is installed. Important! If pumping height is over 1 metre malfunctions and damage to the appliance may arise. For pumping heights over 1metre a conversion kit can be obtained. Please contact Service Force Centre.
