[. . . ] • If the appliance was exposed to the cold prior to delivery, keep it at room temperature for a few hours before operating. • Use only new hoses to connect the washing machine to the water supply. • For models with hot fill: the hot water inlet temperature must not exceed 60°C. 5. Drain • Connect the drain hose to the siphon or hook it over the edge of a sink by means of the “U” bend supplied. • If the washing machine is connected to an integrated drainage system, ensure the latter is equipped with a vent to avoid simultaneous loading and draining of water (siphoning effect). 2. Remove the transport bolts • The washing machine is fitted with transport bolts to avoid any possible damage to the interior during transport. [. . . ] If this occurs, shake or brush out the fabric or use liquid detergents. • Use only detergents and additives specifically produced for domestic washing machines. • When using descaling agents, dyes or bleaches for the prewash (if available on your model), make sure that they are suitable for use in domestic washing machines. Descalers could contain products which could damage your washing machine. Do not machine wash fabrics that have been treated with solvents or flammable liquids. • Do not use liquid detergent for the main wash when having activated the “prewash” option (if available on your model). • Do not use liquid detergent when activating the “Start Delay” function. Dosage Follow the dosage recommendations on the detergent pack. They depend on: • degree and type of soiling • size of wash - full load: follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions. If there is no reference to a certain wash load on the detergent pack: the detergent manufacturers usually refer their dosing recommendations to 4. 5 kg laundry for heavy duty detergent and 2. 5 kg laundry for delicate detergent. • water hardness in your area (ask for information from your water company). Notes: Too much detergent can result in excess foam formation, which reduces washing efficiency. • If you never or seldom wash your laundry at 95°C, we recommend to occasionally run a 95°C programme without laundry, adding a small amount of detergent, to keep the interior of the appliance clean. Filter • Check and clean the filter regularly, at least two or three times a year (see “Draining Residual Water/ Cleaning The Filter”). Do not use flammable fluids for cleaning the appliance. Detergent dispenser Clean the dispenser drawer and the dispenser compartment regularly, at least three or four times a year, to prevent detergent build-up. Press the release lever in the main wash chamber downward and remove the dispenser drawer from the dispenser compartment (see downward arrow). Remove the separator from the main wash chamber by pulling it upward (see upward arrows). Refit the separator and the cover grid in the dispenser drawer and push the drawer back into the dispenser compartment. Water supply hose(s) (picture A, B or C - depending on model) Check regularly for brittleness and cracks. If a supply hose shows a damage, replace it by a new hose of the same type, available through our After-Sales Service or your specialist dealer. If the hose colour intensifies locally, this is an indication that the hose may have a leak and should be replaced. Contact our After-Sales Service team or specialist dealer to obtain a replacement hose. A B Cleaning the mesh filter in the water supply hose(s) 1.
