Please read the instructions given below
and follow them carefully. Failure to do
so will invalidate the guarantee.
• Please ensure that the packaging mate-
rial is disposed of in accordance with
the current environmental require-
ments.
• If the washing machine is visibly dam-
aged, do not connect it. Contact your
- supplier.
• The washing machine must be installed
in a room which is not susceptible to
frost. Frost will cause damage to the
hoses (they may split or burst) and may
cause the electric and electronic compo-
nents to malfunction.
• Before use, check that the transit bars
have been removed. Failure to remove
the transit bars before operation could
damage the washing machine and other
adjacent fixtures.
• Make sure that the inlet and outlet
hoses are fitted in accordance with the
instructions. Improper connection can
lead to flooding.
Cracks or kinks in the hoses may in time
cause them to leak. Check the condition
of the hoses at regular intervals to pre-
vent water damage occurring.
• If the washing machine is installed on a
plinth, for safety reasons two restrainers
must be fitted under the two front feet.
• The washing machine must only be
used as directed in the operating in-
structions in order to prevent damage
to the laundry and to the washing
machine. The washing machine must
only be used for washing and spinning
household laundry. Use only detergents
and conditioners which are suitable for
use in household washing machines.
The washing machine door will become
hot when laundry is washed at high
temperatures.
Do not reach into the drum when it is
turning and do not touch the washing
machine with wet hands.
Do not allow children to play with the
washing machine and keep household
pets away from it.
• Take care to ensure that objects (such
as coins, screws, nails, paper clips, etc.)
are removed from all clothing before it
is loaded into the washing machine;
these objects could damage the suds
sump and the drum.
• If the washing machine fails to function
properly and you cannöt rectify the
fault using the information in the manu-
al, disconnect the washing machine
from the electricity supply, switch off
the water and contact the customer ser-
vice department (see page 16).
• All our electrical appliances comply with
the relevant safety regulations. Repairs
to electrical appliances must only be
carried out by a qualified electrician.
Repairs carried out by anyone else could
endanger the user considerably. Make
sure that only original spare parts are
used, in order to prevent further dam-
age from occurring.
• When the washing machine becomes
obsolete, ensure that it can no longer
be used. First remove the mains plug
from the wall socket, then cut the con-
nection cable. Switch off the water sup-
ply and remove the inlet hose. Ensure
that the door lock is inactivated.
