Troubleshooting without Display Codes

Notes in Case of Power Outage

In case of a power outage, the settings remain saved, and the wash cycle continues with the pre-set program when power is restored. If a program is interrupted due to a power outage, the door is mechanically locked. If laundry needs to be removed, the water level must not be visible in the glass door - scalding hazard! The water level must be lowered as described in "Foreign Object Trap". Only then pull the lever (A) until the door unlocks with a "click".

Installation

Unpacking

• Remove the appliance from its packaging.
• Remove all packaging materials, including the Styrofoam base. These must be kept out of reach of children.
• When opening the packaging, water droplets may be visible, which result from regular factory tests.

Mounting the Base Cover

After removing the shrink wrap, a plastic plate and a piece of felt will be visible. Once the plate is mounted on the appliance base, it serves to reduce noise.

1. Stick the felt to one side of the plastic plate.
2. Lay the washing machine on its side so that the porthole is facing upwards and the appliance base is facing the installer. Loosen the four bolts on the appliance base.
3. Place the plastic plate on the appliance base so that the felt faces inwards and attach the plate with the 4 bolts. Set the machine upright again.

Removing Transport Security

The transport security devices on the back protect the appliance's internal components during transport and must be removed before commissioning.

1. Remove the rear panel.
2. Remove all 4 transport security bolts and the plastic sleeves (A) from inside the appliance using a suitable wrench.
3. Reattach the rear panel. It must be fitted correctly into the recesses in the appliance and with the curved side facing outwards.
4. Close the resulting holes with the supplied cover caps.

Transporting the Machine

If the machine is to be transported, the transport security devices that were removed during installation must be reinserted beforehand to prevent damage:

1. Remove the cover caps.

3. Reinsert the plastic sleeves and transport bolts.
4. Tighten the bolts with a wrench.
5. Reinsert the rear panel.

Aligning the Appliance

Place the appliance on a flat, hard floor and level it precisely using the four adjustable feet. This minimizes vibrations and thus noise during use; wear will be reduced.

Connecting Water Drain

The water drain hose can be installed in various ways. Its highest point must be between 80 and 100 cm above the bottom edge of the appliance. The drain hose should be fixed to the clip on the back of the appliance.

3 Connection Options:

1. Washbasin/Sink Connection
   • Hang the drain hose with a hose bend over the edge of a washbasin or sink of sufficient size.
   • Secure the drain hose additionally against slipping.
2. Waste Pipe
   • The inner diameter of the pipe must be at least 40 mm.
   • Hang the drain hose into the waste pipe.
   • Attach the hose bend.
   • Insert the hose approx. 80 mm deep into the pipe and secure it against slipping.
3. Siphon Connection
   • The branching piece must be above the siphon.
   • The siphon connection point is usually closed with a stopper (A). This must be removed!
   • Secure the drain hose to the siphon side with a clamp.

Fresh Water Connection

Ensure that there is a seal in both connection ends.

1. Connect the angled hose end to the appliance. Tighten the screw connection by hand.
2. Screw the other end to a cold water tap with a 3/4" thread.

Electrical Connection
