Removing the packaging and check • After unpacking, make sure that the washing machine is undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the washing machine. Contact After-Sales Service or your local retailer. • Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc. ) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. 6. Electrical connections • Electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions and current standard safety regulations.

Changing options The options can be selected or deselected without switching off the appliance. Programme interruption or pause To interrupt the running programme for a certain period and continue it at a later time: 1. Press the “On/Off” button. Following the desired pause press the “On/Off” button once again. Cancelling the programme If the current programme is to be terminated prematurely and cancelled, the water must be pumped out first before the door can be opened: 1.

Switch off the appliance and drain the water (see next paragraph “Draining residual water”). 2. Place a tray or container beneath the cover. Slowly turn the filter anticlockwise without unscrewing it completely (using pliers to handle the filter grip makes screwing easier). Wait until all the water has drained off. Now unscrew the filter completely and remove it. Remove any foreign material from the filter. Insert the filter and screw it in clockwise firmly until it locks. Pour 1/2 litre of water into the detergent drawer and check that water does not leak from the filter. Check the filter two or three times a year and clean it if necessary. • Check the filter if the appliance is not draining properly or if it fails to perform spin cycles. • Remove the filter if the pump is blocked by an object (buttons, coins, safety pins, etc. ). IMPORTANT: Make sure the water has had time to cool before draining the appliance. 2 6 4 DRAINING RESIDUAL WATER 1. Switch off the appliance. Unclip the drain hose connection on the rear part of the machine (see arrow A and B). 4. Place a container in suitable size beside the machine. Note: After a correct draining cycle the residual water amounts about up to 1 litre but there can be up to 20 litres of water in the machine if stopped during a programme and even 40 litres if the pump is blocked. Lower the drain hose into a container and let the water drain. Note: Make sure that the water has cooled before draining. [. . . ] The appliance must not be connected to the mixing tap of a nonpressurized water heater. The inlet hose and the plastic enclosure at the tap connection contain electrical components. Do not cut the hose and do not immerse the plastic enclosure in water. B Connect the water drain hose Drain hose • Drain hose connection to water outlet. 1. Unhook the drain hose from the left clip; see arrow (A). Important: Do NOT loosen the drain hose connection; see arrow (B), otherwise there is the risk of leakage (danger of scalding with hot water) and the normal filling and draining functions of the machine cannot be guaranteed. Fit the drain hose either to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink or bath tub with the “U” bend. [. . . ]
