WARNING

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.

CAUTION

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.

WARNING

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.

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.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:

Only pull out the main cable by the plug and
