Precautions and tips

!

This washing machine was designed and constructed in

accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must
therefore be read carefully.

General safety

• This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

• This appliance can be used by children aged

from 8 years and above and persons with re-

duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities

or lack of experience and knowledge if they

have been given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance in a safe way

and understand the hazards involved. Children

shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning

and user maintenance shall not be made by

children without supervision.

• The washing machine must only be used by adults, in accor-

dance with the instructions provided in this manual.

• Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet or

damp hands or feet.

• Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging

the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the plug
and pull.

• Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the

machine is in operation.

• Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extreme-

ly high temperatures.

• Never force the porthole door. This could damage the safety

lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental opening.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any circum-

stances access the internal mechanisms in an attempt
to repair it yourself.

• Always keep children well away from the appliance while

it is operating..

• If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of two

or three people and handle it with the utmost care. Never
try to do this alone, because the appliance is very heavy.

• Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make

sure the drum is empty.

Disposal

• Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local

regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment, requires that old household
electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the
normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old applian-
ces must be collected separately in order to optimise
the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain
and reduce the impact on human health and the envi-
ronment. The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the

product reminds you of your obligation, that when you
dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.
Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer
for information concerning the correct disposal of their
old appliance.
