When the water is completely drained: 6. Push the plug securely into the emergency emptying hose and turn it clockwise to secure it. 7. Replace the emergency emptying hose in its holder. 8. Put on the flap and close. Operating Instructions...
Operating Instructions Additional rinse cycle (RINSE+) The washing machine is set for very economical water consumption. However, for people who suffer from allergies to detergents, it can be helpful to rinse with extra water. If this function is selected, an extra rinse is added to the COTTONS/ LINEN, EASY-CARES, EASY IRON and DELICATES programmes.
Water cooling It may be necessary to cool the water before draining, to prevent ther- mal damage to the plastic outlet pipes. The water is cooled before draining out at the end of the main wash (by adding cold water). (This setting is only available with the COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES programmes, with temperatures over 40 °C.) When the washing machine is delivered, water cooling is not set, except...
Operating Instructions Variomatic spin The variomatic spin is integrated into the final spin. The washing does not cling to the side of the drum as much and can be taken out more easily. This can be set with the COTTONS/LINEN, EASY-CARES pro- grammes.
Programme Protection To protect a programme setting against unintentional changes or tam- pering (for example, programme selector turned or buttons pressed ac- cidentally, etc.), set the Programme Protection. This will protect your washing from damage. The Programme Protection can be set or released at any time while the programme is running.
Operating Instructions Child Safety Feature If the child safety feature is set, the door cannot be closed and no washing programme can be started. Setting the child safety feature Use a coin to turn the rotary knob on the inside of the door clock- wise as far as it will go.

Installation and connection instructions Electrical Connection 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.
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 3 mm between the switch contacts and of a type suitable for the required load in compliance with the current electrical regulations.
• If less than 1 bar: Unscrew the inlet hose from the appliance at the inlet solenoid valve and remove the flow regulator (to do this, remove the filter with needle nose pliers and remove the rubber washer be- hind the filter). Replace the filter.
Installation and connection instructions Inlet Hose Connection A pressure hose 1.5m in length is supplied. If a longer inflow hose is required, only a VDE-approved, complete set of hoses with fitted hose screw connections offered by your local Serv- ice Force Centre is permissible. –...
Installation and connection instructions 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 dia- gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
Installation and connection instructions If you intend the drain hose from the washing machine to empty into a sink, make sure that the sink is empty and the plug hose is not blocked. Use the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. Important! The end of the drainage hose must not be submerged in the pumped-out water.
