Operating Instructions

1 Safety

Prior to using for the first time

• Follow the ”Instructions for installation and connection”.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter months when there are minus

temperatures: Store the washing machine at room temperature for 24 hours before using for the first time.

Correct use

• The washing machine is only designed for the washing of normal domestic laundry at home.

• Additions or modifications to the washing machine are not permitted.

• Use only detergents and additives that are suitable for use in domestic

washing machines.

• The washing must not contain any inflammable solutions. Danger of explosion!

• Do not use the washing machine for dry cleaning.

• Dyes/colour removers may only be used in the washing machine, if the

manufacturer of these products expressly permits this. We cannot be held responsible for any damage arising.

Child safety

• Keep packaging away from children. There is a risk of suffocation.

• Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with electrical ap-

pliances. Don’t allow children to use the washing machine unsupervised.

• Make sure that children and pets don’t climb into the drum of the washing machine. Could endanger life!

General safety

• Repairs to the washing machine must only be carried out by qualified service engineers.

• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged; or if the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and servicing. In addition, pull the mains plug out of the socket or – in the case of a permanent connection – switch off the cut-out in the fuse box or remove the screw fuse completely.

• If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply and shut off the water tap.

• Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

• Multi-way plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used. This

could constitute a fire hazard through overheating.

• Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of electric shock!

• In washing programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door gets hot. Do not touch it.

• Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool down.

• Small animals can nibble at the cables and water hoses. Danger of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals away from the washing machine.
