Hazard warnings
Before using the washing machine
When washing
To protect the washing machine
WEEE
–Risk of electric shock.
–Only pull on the mains plug, never on the cable!
–Do not unplug or plug in the appliance to the mains if your hands are wet.
–Risk of suffocation. Keep packaging, film and packaging parts out of the reach of children.
–Danger of death. Pull out the mains plug on worn-out appliances. Cut through the mains cable and discard this along with the plug. Destroy the lock on the washing machine door. This will prevent children from locking themselves in, thereby putting their lives at risk.
–Risk of poisoning. Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.
–Risk of explosion. Items of laundry that are pre-treated with cleaning agents containing solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine. Handrinse items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.
–Risk of injury!
–The washing machine door may become very hot.
–Be careful when emptying hot detergent solution.
–Do not climb onto the washing machine.
–Do not lean on the open washing machine door.
–Do not reach into the drum if it is still rotating.
–Set up the washing machine according to the installation instructions page 23.
–Remove the transport safety bolts and keep them in a safe place.
–Do not operate the washing machine if it has visible signs of damage. If you are in any doubt, please consult our after-sales service or your retailer.
–Remove all objects from pockets, particularly sources of ignition (e.g. lighters, matches, etc.) and metal objects (paper clips, etc.).
–Do not leave children unattended near the washing machine.
–The washing machine is not to be used by children or persons who have not been instructed in its use.
–Keep pets away from the washing machine.
–Take care when draining hot detergent solution.
–The washing machine door may become very hot during operation.
–Do not climb onto the washing machine.

Environmental protection / conservation tips
–Separate the various waste materials of the packaging and take them to the nearest collection point.
–Always fill the appliance with the maximum amount of laundry for each programme.
–Wash normally soiled laundry without a prewash.
–Instead of Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 90 °C, choose the programme Resistentes/Algod. (Cottons) 60 °C Color eco/cor eco Page 11. This delivers a comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy consumption.
–Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's instructions and in line with the local water hardness.
–If the laundry is subsequently dried in a tumble drier, select the spin speed according to the tumble drier manufacturer's instructions.
