Warning
Risk of scalding!
When washing at high temperatures,
there is a risk of scalding if you come
into contact with hot detergent solution
(e.g. when draining hot detergent
solution into a washbasin).
Do not reach into the hot detergent
solution.
Caution!
Water damage
When water is being pumped away, the
outlet hose is under water pressure and
may slip out of the wash basin or
connection point.
Secure the outlet hose so that it cannot
slip out.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance/fabrics
If the end of the outlet hose is immersed
in the drained water, water may be
sucked back into the appliance and
may damage the appliance/fabrics.
Make sure that:
■
The plug does not block drainage
from the wash basin.
■
The end of the drain hose is not
immersed in the drained water.
■
The water drains away quickly
enough.
Note:
Do not kink the water drain hose
or stretch it lengthways.
Connection

Drainage into a siphon
The connection point must be
secured using a hose clamp with a
diameter of 24–40 mm (available
from specialist dealers).

Levelling
Level the appliance using a spirit level.
Incorrect levelling may result in intense
noise, vibrations and "wandering".
1.
Loosen the lock nuts using a
wrench, by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
2.
Check the alignment of the washing
machine with a spirit level, and
adjust it if necessary. Change the
height by turning the appliance feet.
All four appliance feet must stand
firmly on the ground.
