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
accordance 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 extremely
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.
• The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
• 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 regu-
lations so that the packaging may be re-used.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU - WEEE 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 environment.
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.
