1 Safety precautions
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology standards
and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the appliance is
however essential to avoid damage and accidents. Please
therefore follow the precautions given in these operating
instructions.
In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless supervised or unless they have been given instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their
safety.
1.1 Before using for the first time
• The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work
should be carried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
• Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
• Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch,
mains fuse) and the water tap.
• The transport lock must be removed. Failure to remove the transport lock
can result in damage to the appliance or apartment or laundry room
fittings.
• Before using the newly installed appliance for the first time, please follow
the precautions given in the Using for the first time section.
5
1 Safety precautions
1.2 Correct use
• The appliance is suitable for washing home textiles with water and regular
washing machine detergent. The appliance is designed for use in the home
and for the above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is assumed for any
damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
• Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer,
its Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not
working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given
in the Repair service section. If necessary, please contact Customer
Services.
• Use original spare parts only.
• Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass
the appliance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new owner can inform themselves about how to use
the appliance correctly and read the pertinent safety precautions.
Do not use the appliance to wash the following:
• Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable
chemicals, detergents or solvents such as benzene, alcohol, stain remover,
oil, paint, wax, etc. Fire or explosion hazard! Wash materials containing
such substances first by hand with water or allow the solvent to evaporate
completely.
• Textiles with metal reinforcements (risk of damage).
• Trainers, diving suits, rucksacks, carpets, etc.
6
1 Safety precautions
1.3 Children in the home
• Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from
children.
• The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these
operating instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger
of electrical appliances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow
children to play with the appliance – there is a danger that children could
get locked inside.
• Washing detergent can irritate the eyes, mouth and throat and even cause
choking! Keep washing detergent out of the reach of children.
• Use the childproof locking facility.
1.4 Note on use
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.
• If the drain hose leads into a sink (wash trough), check that it is fastened
securely. Make sure that the water can drain off fast enough. Flooding
hazard!
• From time to time, check the drain hose for tears, kinks, twists, bends, etc.
• Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are
damaged. Contact Customer Services.
• If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity
supply immediately.
• If the mains cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by
Customer Services in order to avoid hazard.
• Keep pets away from the appliance.
• To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and
advice in the Washing tips section.
• Do not use solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzene) instead of, or in addition to,
water, washing detergent or additives in your appliance. Fire or explosion
hazard!
7
1 Safety precautions
• Only use water softener, dye/bleach or other additives expressly recommended by the manufacturer for use in the appliance. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
• Store washing detergents, washing additives and other additives in a cool,
dry place. Lumpy washing detergent can cause problems. Keep all
washing detergents and additives out of the reach of children.
• Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the washing drum, detergent
dispenser drawer or around the foreign body trap. Foreign objects such as
coins, nails, paper clips, etc. can damage parts of the appliance, as well
as the washing.
• During longer periods of absence, turn off the water tap before switching
off the power by pulling out the mains plug. Never pull the mains plug out
by the cable. Please note: the built-in overflow protection is rendered
inactive when the power is switched off.
1.5 Maintenance
Ensure the washing drum has stopped moving before reaching
inside. Do not touch the drum while it is still in motion – risk of
serious injury!
• Disconnect the appliance from the mains before carrying out maintenance
work.
• Do not spray the outside of the appliance with water. Do not use a steam
cleaner.
• Do not sit, lean or rest on the appliance door.
• Do not climb on to the appliance. Danger of tipping!
• Opening the water inlet and outlet while the appliance is in operation could
pose a scalding hazard.
• Use original spare parts only.
