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 is not intended for use by persons (inclu-
ding children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concer-
ning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• 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.
• 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
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 aplices
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.
