Water connection depending on model
Risk of electric shock. Do not immerse the Aqua-Stop safety device in water
(contains an electric valve).
To prevent leaks or water damage, observe the instructions in this section.
Caution: only operate the washing machine using cold drinking water.
Do not connect to the mixer tap of an unpressurised hot-water boiler.
Do not use a used inlet hose. Only use the inlet hose supplied or one which was
purchased from an authorised specialist retailer.
If in doubt, have a technician connect the appliance.
Water inlet
Water inlet hose:
Caution: do not kink, squash, modify or cut through
(otherwise its strength is no longer guaranteed).
Optimum water pressure in the supply network: 100-1000 kPa (1-10 bar)
Water flows at a rate of at least 8 l/min when the tap is turned on.
If the water pressure is higher than this, a pressure reducing valve must be installed.
Model: AquaäStop
AquaäSecure
Standard
1. Connect the water inlet hose to the tap.
Only tighten the screw connections by hand.
2. Open the water tap carefully, checking the leak
tightness of the connection points.
Caution: the screw connection is under mains water
pressure.
Water outlet
Water outlet hose:
Caution: do not kink or pull lengthways.
Height difference between the installation surface and the drain:
for AquaäSecure and Standard models: min. 60 cm - max. 100 cm
for AquaäStop model: 0 - max. 100 cm
Drainage into a siphon:
Caution: the connection point must be secured with the hose clamp
provided, Ø 24-40 mm.
Levelling
Intense noise, vibrations and wandering may be the result of incorrect levelling.
All four appliance feet must be firmly on the ground.
The washing machine must not wobble.
Check the levelness of the washing machine with a spirit level and adjust if necessary.
The washing machine must not rest against the side panels of the installation recess.
The lock nuts of the front appliance feet must be screwed tightly against the housing.

Electrical connection
ʑ
The washing machine must only be connected to an alternating current via a properly
installed earthed socket.
ʑ
The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage specifications on the washing machine.
-> Page 7; Technical data.
ʑ
Connected load and required fuse -> Page 7; Technical data.
ʑ
Make sure that:
the mains plug fits the socket,
the cable cross-section is adequate,
the earthing system is properly installed.
ʑ
The mains cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician (if required).
Replacement mains cables are available from customer services.
ʑ
Do not use multiple plugs/couplings and/or extension leads.
ʑ
If a residual current circuit breaker is used, only use a type which displays this symbol: .
Only this symbol guarantees compliance with the currently applicable regulations.
ʑ
Mains plug:
do not plug in to/pull out of the socket with damp hands.
when removing the plug from the socket, pull the plug body only, not the cable.
never pull the plug out during operation.
Transportation, e.g. when moving house
Before transporting the washing machine:
1. Turn off the tap.
2. Reduce the water pressure in the inlet hose a Instruction manual; filter in water inlet.
3. Drain residual water
> Instruction manual; drain pump.
4. Disconnect the washing machine from the power supply.
5. Disconnect the hoses.
Install the transport safety devices:
1. Remove the covers.
2. Insert all 4 sleeves.
Clamp the mains cable to the holders.
Insert and tighten the screws.
After transportation, the transport safety devices must be removed.
