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. Chil-

dren shall not play with the appliance. Clea-

ning and user maintenance shall not be made 

by children without supervision.

• 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 2012/19/EU 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 appliances 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 obliga- 

  tion, 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.
