Safety instructions for use
Safety instuctions for the installation
Install or store the appliance where it will not be exposed to sub-zero temperatures or exposed to the weather. Fit the power plug
to a grounded wall socket that complies with all statutor y regulations and ordinances. Ensure t hat the base opening is free from
obstruction by carpeting if the washin g machine is installed on a carpeted fl oor. In countries where there is a risk of cockroach
infestation or other vermin, pay partic ular attention to keep the appliance and its sur roundings in a clean condit ion at all times.
Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin is not covered by the applia nce guarantee.
CAUTION about positioning the applianc e
Install the washing machine on a fl at hard fl oor. Make sure that air circulation around the washing machine is
not impeded by carpets, rug etc.
•
Never try to correct any unevenness in the fl oor using pieces of wood, cardboard or similar materials under the washing machine.
•
If it is not pos sible to position t he washing machine away from a gas cooker or coal burning stove, an insulation panel
(85x60cm) covered with aluminum foil on the side facing the co oker or stove, must be inserted between the t wo appliances.
•
The washing machine must not be installed in rooms where the temperature may drop below 0°C .
•
Please ensure that when the washing machine is installed , that a Service Technician can gain easy access in the event of a
breakdown.
•
Adjust all four feet using the transit bolt spanner provided to ensure that the appliance is stable, with 20mm clearnace between
the top of the washing machine and underside of the worktop.
CAUTION about the power cord
We recommend connecting most appliances to a dedicated circuit which is protected by a mains fuse. That is, a single outlet
supplying power only to the appliance c oncerned, without any additional o utlets or branc h circuits. Check the specifi cations
of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload wall sockets. Ove rloaded wall socket s, loose or damaged wall socke ts or extension
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. A ny of these conditions could result in electric
shock or fi re. Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement pa rt by an authorized servicer. Protect
the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a jamb of a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the poin t where the cord exits the appliance.
CAUTION about location and moving
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile installations such as caravans, aircraft etc. Turn off the
stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. if you are going on holiday) , especially if there is no fl oor drain
(gully) in the immediate vicinity. If relocating the appliance use the original packing material. Packaging material (e.g. plastic fi lm,
Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. T here is a risk of suffocation ! Keep all packaging well away from childr en and do not
allow children to play inside the bowl as they may become trapped.
CAUTION about the fl oor surface
• The installation surface must be clean, dr y and level.
• Install washing machin e on a fl at hard fl oor. Poorly constructed timber base fl oors can contribute to excessive noise and
vibration.
• Proper placement and levelling of the washing machine ensure long, regular an d reliable operation.
• The washing machine must be perfectly level and fi rmly in position.
• It must not “see-saw” across corners under lo ad.
• The installation surface must be clean, free f rom fl oor wax and other lubricant coatings.
• Do not allow the feet of the washing machine to get wet. If feet of the wa shing machine get wet, slipping may occur.

Safety instructions for use
To minimize the risk of fi re within the inner bowl, the following should be observe d:
• Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fi re hazard and should not be
placed in a tumble dryer.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to he at sources Such as in a tumble dryer.
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates h eat. If the heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent
heat from escaping and so create a fi re hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have b een contaminated by hair care prod-
ucts be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce,
but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to redu ce the temperature
of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while h ot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Highly fl ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol,
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands ), turpentine, waxes and wax remover s.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured rubber like materials should not be
dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used during a drying cycle, to eliminate the effects of static
electricity unless this practice is specifi cally recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or pr oduct.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose dur ing drying.
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin c overs should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fi tted with foam rubber pads, pillows, rubber boots and rubber-coated tennis
shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
