31 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 con- centrated 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 fi- nal 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 deter- gents 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 choice of detergent. Especially with dark colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents.
32 Carrying out an emergency drain 1Warning! Prior to carrying out an emergency drain, switch off the washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point. Warning! The water that comes out of the emergency drain hose may be hot. There is a risk of scalding. Let the water cool before performing an emergency drain! 1.Open the plinth flap and remove it. 2.Remove the emergency drain hose. 3.Place a shallow container under- neath it. Then loosen the drain plug by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction and pull it out. 4.The water will run out. If it is neces- sary to empty the container more than once, seal up the emergency drain hose with the drain plug while you are doing so. When the water has all drained away: 5.Insert the plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and turn it in a clockwise direction until it is firmly in place. 6.Replace the emergency drain hose into the retainer. 7.Insert the plinth flap into place and close it.
33 Drain pump The drain pump is maintenance-free. It is only necessary to open the pump cover if there is a malfunction and water is no longer being pumped out, e.g. if the pump wheel is blocked. Before loading the machine, please always ensure that there are no for- eign bodies present in the pockets or in between the items to be washed. Paper clips, nails, etc. which may find their way into the wash- ing machine along with the washing will remain in the drain pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel). 1Warning! Before opening the cover of the drain pump, switch off the washing machine and remove the power plug from the power point. 1.First carry out an emergency drain. 2.Place a cloth on the floor in front of the cover of the drain pump. Residual water runs out. 3.Unscrew the pump cover in an anti- clockwise direction and remove it. 4.Remove foreign bodies and fluff from the pump housing and from the pump wheel. 5.Check whether the pump wheel right at the back of the pump hous- ing can turn. (If the wheel rotates with a jerky motion, this is normal.) If the pumping wheel cannot be turned, please contact your local Service Force Centre. 6.Insert the pump cover. Insert the guides at the sides of the cover into the guide slots and tighten the cov- er by turning in a clockwise direc- tion. 7.Close off the emergency drain hose and place it in the retainer. 8.Close the plinth flap.

36 Installation and connection instructions 1Safety information concerning installation This washing machine cannot be built-in. Before using for the first time, check the appliance for damage sus- tained while it was being transported. Do not under any circumstanc- es connect an appliance that is damaged to the mains. In the event of damage to the appliance contact your supplier. Be sure to remove all the components of the transport lock before us- ing the appliance for the first time. Otherwise when spinning damage may be caused to the appliance or to neighbouring units or furniture. Before using the appliance for the first time, splash protection must be completed. (See “Removing transit packaging”). Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and current on the rating plate match the mains voltage and current where the appliance is to be installed. The required fuse pro- tection is also to be found on the rating plate. If work on the plumbing is required for the proper connection of the washing machine to the water supply, this must be undertaken by a competent person. If work on the electricity supply system is required for the proper connection of the washing machine to the electricity supply, this must be undertaken by a registered electrician. Should the appliance power supply cable need to be replaced, this must be carried out by our Service Force Centre. The power supply cable must be easily accessible after installing the appliance. Connect the machine to an earthed socket.
37 Installing the appliance Transporting the appliance 1Warning: The washing machine is very heavy. There is a risk of injury. Exercise care when lifting the appliance. Do not lay the washing machine on its front nor on its right side (as seen from the front). Electrical components may get wet. Never transport the appliance without using the transport lock. Only remove the transport lock when the appliance is in its place of instal- lation. Transporting the appliance without the use of the transport lock can cause damage to the appliance. Never lift the appliance by the door when it is open nor by the plinth. When moving using a sack trolley: Only use the sack trolley on the side of the appliance. The sack trol- ley’s base plate must not be longer than 24 cm, otherwise parts of the anti-flood system may be damaged. Unpacking 1 The transport safeguard must be removed before putting the appliance into operation. Important! You are advised to keep all the packaging for re-use in case the machine is to be transported again. 1.After removing all the packaging, with assistance carefully lay ma- chine on it’s back to remove the pol- ystyrene base from the bottom.
38 2.Remove the power supply cable and the draining hose from the hose holders on the rear of the appliance. 3.With a suitable spanner unscrew and remove the central rear bolt A. Slide out the relevant plastic spacer. 4.Unscrew and remove the two large rear bolts B and the six smaller bolts C.
39 5.Remove the bracket D. 6.Refit the six smaller bolts C. 7.Open the porthole and remove the polystyrene block fitted with the ad- hesive tape on the door seal. 8.Fill the smaller upper hole and the two large ones with the correspond- ing plastic plug caps supplied in the bag containing the instruction booklet. Important! All the different plug caps are sup- plied with the appliance in the plas- tic bag containing the instruction booklet.
40 Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water inlet”. 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 ad- verse 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. Making the appliance level 3Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot, which is why the appliance gives in the back left-hand corner if put under load. The automatic foot guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds. Basically the automatic foot does not need to be set. The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted. Large degrees of unevenness can be compensated for by individually ad- justing the height adjustable screw feet. Use the special spanner supplied to do this. Important! Do not use pieces of wood, cardboard or such like to lev- el out unevenness in the floor, but adjust the height adjustable screw feet instead.
