Safety Notices
Correct use
To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the washing machine, do
not install it in place where it is damp and where it suffers from rainfall.
Do not install the washing machine in place where it suffers from the sun
directly, in which plastic or components will be damaged. It will be
shortened the life of your washing machine.
Do not install the washing machine in place where temperatures below
freezing may occur. Frozen hoses may burst or split. The reliability of the
electronic control unit may be impaired at temperatures below freezing
point.
Do not shoot the washing machine with water when you clean it.
Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat sources.
Before using the washing machine for the first time, check that the transit bolts at the rear of the
machine have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts which are still in place may result in
damage to both the machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
Turn off the tap if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is
no floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins, coins, paper clips) do not find their way into
the machine with the laundry. These may damage components of the machine (e.g. drum), which in
turn can result in damage to the laundry.
Do not wash water-repellent things (e.g. raincoats) with washing machine.
Only remove laundry from the washing machine once the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into
a moving drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.
Safety with children
Keep children away from the washing machine at all times. To avoid the
risk of injury do not allow children to play on or near it or to play with its
controls. Supervise children whilst you are using it.
Older children may only use the washing machine if its operation has been
clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognizing
the dangers of misuse.
For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass will
be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Don't let children touch it.
