All the different plug caps are sup-
plied with the appliance in the plas-
tic bag containing the instruction 
booklet.
Connect the water inlet hose as described under the paragraph “Water 
inlet”.
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.

Making the appliance level
3Automatic foot: The rear foot on the left-h and side of your washing 
machine is built as a shock absorbin g 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 no t 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.
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 water pressure must be at least 0.5 bar (= 5 N/cm2=0.05MPa) 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 0.5 bar: Disconnect th e appliance end of the inlet hose 
from the solenoid inlet valve and remove the flow meter. (In addition 
remove the filter using pointed plie rs and take out the rubber gasket 
behind it.) Re-insert the filter.

Water inlet
Attention!
An inlet hose is supplied and ca n been found inside the machine 
drum.
 Do not use the hose from your previous machine to connect to 
the water supply. 
 This appliance  must not be connected to the hot water system.
1. Open the porthole and extract the inlet hose.
2. Connect the hose with the angled 
connection to the machine.
Important!
Do not place the inlet hose down-
wards. Angle the hose to the left 
or right depending on the position 
of your water tap.  
3. Set the hose correctly by loosening 
the ring nut. After positioning the 
inlet hose, be sure to tighten the 
ring nut again to prevent leaks.
4. Connect the hose to a tap with a 
3/4” thread. 
Always use the hose supplied with 
the appliance. 
Installation should comply with local 
water authority an d building regula-
tions’ requirements.
A minimum water pressure of 0.05 
MPa (0.5 bar) is required for safe op-
eration of the appliance.
If you cannot make the cold water 
connection direct from the rising  mains, you may be able to operate 
the appliance from your cold water storage system. 
There should be a minimum distance of 5.02m (16.5 ft) between the 
appliance’s inlet and the bottom of the water storage tank.

Water drainage
The maximum permitted difference between the height of the surface 
on which the appliance is installe d and the water outlet is 1 metre.
Only original hoses may be used to  extend hoses. (A maximum of 3 m 
laid on the floor and then 80 cm ve rtically). The Customer Care Depart-
ment stocks outlet hoses of different lengths.
Draining water into a sink outlet
Secure the outlet/s ink outlet joint 
with a hose band clip (available from 
your dealer). 
Draining water into a wash basin/bath
1Important!  
– Small basins are not suitable. Wa-
ter may overflow. 
– The end of the drain hose must 
not be in the water that has been 
pumped out. Otherwise water 
could be sucked back into the ap-
pliance.
– When draining into a wash basin 
or a bath, secure the drain hose 
with the supplied elbow to stop it 
slipping. Otherwise the water run-
ning out can force the hose out of 
the basin. 
– When pumping the water out, 
check that the water is running 
away fast enough.
Pumping heights over 1 m
The washing machine’s drain pump is ab le to pump water to a height of 
1 meter, calculated from the surface on  which the appliance is installed. 
Warning!  If pumping height is over 1  metre, malfunctions and damage 
to the appliance may arise.
For pumping heights over 1 metre a conversion kit can be obtained. 
Please contact the Customer Care Department.
