freestanding unit. Place the machine on a fi rm surface

top with a working height of 850-900 mm. Leave a 5 cm
space around the entire machine, including between the
rear edge of the top cover and the wall behind it.

The washing machine can be positioned beside or under
a tumble dryer.

CONNECTION TO WATER SUPPLY

Water connection should be carried out by an
appropriately qualifi ed person. Connect the machine
using the accompanyingsupply hose. Water pressure
should be 0.1–1MPa (approx. 1–10kp/cm
2
cm
). There should be a stopcock on the water pipe.
If the pipes are newly installed, it may be wise to fl ush
them through so that any dirt is washed away. Otherwise,
dirt can clog the fi lter in the machine's water intake and
cut off the water supply.
Use only the supply hose supplied with the machine. Do
not re-use old hoses or other loose supply hoses.
Water intake
At the factory, the machine is set for connecting to both
hot and cold water supplies. The machine can be set for
cold water intake only. See the section "Settings".
Hot water connection
A few seconds after you start a programme the washing
machine will begin to fi ll with water from both the hot
and the cold supplies. If for some reason no hot water
is available, the machine waits for one minute and then
fi lls with cold water only. The wash drum does not start to
rotate until it begins to fi ll with water.
If the appliance is not connected to the hot water line,
then deactivate the function in the User Menu.
(See chapter Settings.)
