safety warnings
For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you go on holiday, disconnect the plug from the mains supply and turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly important if there is no drainage around the washing machine.
• If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.
General Use
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should remove these using a spanner or similar tool before you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the washing machine is spinning.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the washing machine. They may cause a fire or damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled ‘washing machine washable’.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine works with cold water supply only.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the hose is properly connected. If it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it. This could cause a water leak or damage your laundry.
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.

Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 13 Amp 220V to 240V AC. If the washing machine is plugged in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly into the socket. A loose connection may overheat and cause electrical shock or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains plug, it could cause a fire. To prevent this, unplug the cable and clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable. It may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the washing machine. If you are not sure, contact an electrician.
• The mains plug must remain accessible to allow disconnection or an all pole switch must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring regulations.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• Do not climb on the washing machine. You may hurt yourself or damage the washing machine.
• When opening and closing the door ensure you keep fingers away from the door hinge, or this could lead to injury.
• Check your washing for objects such as nails, pins, coins, clips etc. They could damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• To prevent any large, heavy objects (e.g., buckles, large buttons, etc.) from hitting the glass door, turn your clothing inside out or remove the heavy objects. They could damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-proof sheets or clothing. These may cause vibration or washing machine failure during spin-drying, which could lead to injury, damage to the washing machine or damage due to water leaking.
• Be careful when draining hot water or any detergent from the drum.

Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children unless they are older than 8 and supervised.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Children of less than 3 years should be kept away unless continuously supervised.
• Do not touch the laundry inside the washing machine, until the drum has completely stopped. Even if the drum is spinning at low speed it can cause an injury. Take particular care of children in this respect.
• The appliance is to be connected to the water mains using the new hose­set supplied. Old hose-sets should not be reused.
