Making the appliance level Automatic adjusting foot: The rear foot on the left-hand side of your washing machine is built as a shock absorbing foot. This guarantees that the appliance does not move even at high spin speeds. The four feet of the appliance are pre-adjusted.
Should the plug need to be replaced for any reason, proceed as described below. The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Green and Yellow: Blue: Brown: • The wire coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter “E“...
Connecting the appliance to the water supply Important: • This appliance must not be connected to the hot water supply. • When connecting the appliance, use only new hose kits. • Only connect the appliance to the drinking water supply. Rain water or water for industrial use may only be used if it fulfils the require- ments of DIN1986 and DIN1988.
Water inlet A 1.35m long pressure hose is supplied with the appliance. If a longer inlet hose is required, only hoses from the manufacturer are to be used. Your local Service Force stocks hose kits of different lengths. Sealing rings are either inserted in the plastic nuts of the threaded hose fitting or are included as spare parts.
Water Drainage The appliance drain hose should hook into a standpipe, the hook in the drain hose is formed using the plastic “U-Piece“ supplied. The standpipe should have an internal diameter of approximately 38 mm (see dia- gram) thus ensuring there is an air break between the drain hose and standpipe.
