Wash Basin
9WARNING
SCALDING
When washing at high temperatures, there is a risk
of scalding if you touch hot suds, e.g. when
pumping out hot suds into a wash basin.
Do not reach into the hot suds.
9CAUTION
APPLIANCE DAMAGE/DAMAGE TO TEXTILES
If the end of the drain hose is dipped into the
pumped-out water, water can be sucked back into
the appliance and can damage the appliance/
textiles.
Make sure that:
▯The sealing plugs do not seal the drain of the wash
basin.
▯The end of the drain hose does not dip into the
pumped-out water.
▯The water flows out fast enough.
Attach the drain hose securely to the wash basin.
NOTICE: In any multi-story installation, the washer
should be installed on a drained floor to prevent water
damage to rooms below in the event of a leak.

Leveling the washer

Importance of leveling the washer
Your new washer uses high spins speeds to remove
water at the end of the wash cycle. It is important that
your washer is level and that all four washer feet press
with equal pressure against the floor. This will help
assure the quietest, most vibration-free use of your
washer.
Follow these steps:
1.
Install the washer on a level and solid surface,
preferably in a corner of a room.
2.
If the floor is uneven (or unlevel) adjust the washer feet
as required to level the washer. Do not place anything
under the washer feet to help level the washer.
3.
Extend the washer feet no more than is necessary. The
more the feet are extended, the more vibration the
washer will experience. Start with the washer feet
turned all the way in and adjust each foot as
necessary.
4.
Use a bubble level to check the top of the washer to
make sure it is level side to side and front to rear.
5.
Press down on each corner of the washer top to make
sure the washer doesn’t “wobble“. There should be no
"give" or movement. All four washer feet should press
equally against the floor. This is just as important as
the washer being level to prevent vibration.
6.
When the washer is level and does not wobble, lock
the washer feet in place by tightening the locknuts
against the washer bottom. Be sure to do this without
changing the height of the foot (hold the foot while
tightening the locknut).
Procedure for adjusting the washer feet:
1.
After determining which washer feet need to be
extended, have someone lift up on the washer slightly
to take pressure off the foot to be adjusted.
2.
Turn the grey plastic foot to extend it downward as far
as necessary to raise the corner of the washer the
correct amount to level the washer.
3.
When the height of the foot is correct, use a 17 mm
open end wrench to tighten the locknut against the
washer bottom. The locknut should be tight against the
bottom of the washer to lock the foot in place.

Electrical connection

9WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Improper connection of the ground may result in
electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a
qualified technician or licensed electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the washer has been
properly grounded.
9WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO
NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washing machine to the power supply.
9WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
▯Only pull out the main cable by the plug and
never by the cable, as this could damage it.
▯Never touch or hold the main plug with wet
hands.
▯Never unplug the main plug during operation.
