21 If the wash results are not satisfactory Washing is grey and scale is being deposited in the drum Too little detergent is being used. The right detergent was not used. Special soiling was not pre-treated. Programme or temperature was not correctly set. There are grey stains on the washing. Washing soiled with ointment, grease or oil was washed with too lit- tle detergent. It was washed at too low a temperature. A common cause is that fabric cond itioner – especially a concentrate – has got onto the washing. Such stains should be washed out as quickly as possible and make sure that you are careful when using fabric conditioner. After the last rinse foam can still be seen. Modern detergents may create foam even in the last rinse cycle. The washing is however sufficiently rinsed. There are white residues on the washing. This is due to the insoluble in gredients in modern detergents. They are not caused by insufficient rinsing. Shake or brush the wash ing. If possible turn the washing inside out before washing. Check yo ur choice of detergent. Especially with dark colours it is advisable to use liquid detergents. Door cannot be opened when appliance is switched on. Door locked.Wait until DOOR indicator is lit green. Power cut. (All display indi- cators are off.) Door remains locked for 4 to 10 minutes. Programme continues, when power cut is over.

22 Carrying out an emergency drain 1Warning! Before emergency draining, switch off the washing machine and remove the mains plug from the socket. 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. Take out 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 runs out. If it is necessary 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. Push the drain plug firmly into the emergency drain hose and screw it tight in a clockwise direction. 6. Place the emergency drain hose back in the support. 7. Insert the plinth flap and close it.
23 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 th e pump wheel is blocked. Please make sure before loading th e washing that there are no foreign bodies in the pockets or caught betw een the washing. Paperclips, nails, etc. that may have got into the wa shing machine with the washing re- main in the pump housing (foreign body trap that protects the pump wheel). 1Warning! Before opening the pump cove r, switch off the washing ma- chine and remove the mains plug from the socket. 1. First carry out an emergency drain. 2. Place a cloth on the floor in front of the drain pump cover. 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. (It is normal for the pumping wheel to turn jerkily.) If the pumping wheel cannot be turned, please contact the Customer Care Department. 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 direction. 7. Close off the emergency drain hose and place it in the support. 8.

In the case of damage, please contact your supplier. Before using for the first time, all parts of the transport lock must be removed. Otherwise when spinning damage may be caused to the ap- pliance or to neighbouri ng units or furniture. Before using the appliance for the fi rst time, splash protection must be completed. (See “Removing the transit packaging”.) Always plug the mains plug into a correctly installed shockproof socket. Permanent connection: a permanent connection must only be in- stalled by a trained electrician. Prior to using the appliance for the first time, ensure that the rated voltage and type of supply on the ra ting plate match that of the sup- ply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating 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 registered plumber. If work on the electricity supply sy stem is required for the proper connection of the washing machine to the electricity supply, this must be undertaken by a registered electrician. The washing machine’s cable must on ly be replaced by the Customer Care Department or a registered electrician. Installing the appliance Transporting the appliance 1Warning!

Where to install Important! The appliance must not be used in a room where there is a danger of frost. Frost damage or impaired operation! Frost damage is not covered by the warranty. The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be firm and level. Do not install the applianc e on carpets or on soft floor cov- erings. The surface on which the appliance is to be installed must be clean and dry and free from coverings that move, so that the appliance does not slide. If the location in which the applianc e is to be installed is fitted with small-format tiles, put a rubber ma t (available in the shops) under the appliance.
30 Making the appliance level 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. Electrical connection Details about the voltage, type of supply and the fuses required are to be found on the rating plate. The rating plate is next to the doorway. Connecting to the water supply Permitted water pressure The wat er press ure m ust be at leas t 1 bar (= 10 N/ cm2= 0.1 MPa) and may be a maximum of 10 bar (= 100 N/cm2=1MPa). – If more than 10 bar: Connect a pressure reduction valve. – If less than 1 bar: Disconnect the a ppliance end of the inlet hose from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition re- move the filter using pointed plie rs and take out the rubber gasket behind it.) Re-insert the filter.
