Child safety
• Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances
can be. When the machine is working, they should be carefully super-
vised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk
that they could become trapped inside.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dan-
gerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of chil-
dren’s reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum.
• When the appliance is disposed of, pull the plug out of the socket,
cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the
remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children
from becoming trapped inside while playing.
