damage
ATTENTION!
The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener, de-
tergent, care product or cleaning
agent.
▶
Follow the dosage recommenda-
tions from the manufacturer.
Exceeding the maximum load capa-
city impairs the function of the appli-
ance.
▶
Observe the maximum load capa-
city for each programme and do
not exceed it.
→
The appliance is secured for trans-
portation using transit bolts. Transit
bolts which have not been removed
may result in material damage and
damage to the appliance.
▶
Before starting up the appliance,
remove the transit bolts completely
and keep them in a safe place.
▶
Before transport, fit the transit bolts
fully in order to prevent damage in
transit.
Material damage may be caused if
the water inlet hose is connected in-
correctly.
▶
Tighten the screw connections on
the water inlet until they are hand-
tight.
▶
Ideally, connect the water inlet
hose directly to the water tap,
without any additional connecting
elements such as adapters, exten-
sions, valves or similar.
▶
Make sure that the valve housing
for the water inlet hose does not
come into contact with its sur-
roundings and is not subjected to
any external forces.
▶
Ensure that the inner diameter of
the water tap is at least 17 mm.
▶
Make sure that the length of the
thread on the connection to the
water tap is at least 10 mm.
If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be
able to operate properly.
▶
Ensure that the water pressure in
the water supply system is at least
100 kPa (1 bar) and max.
1000 kPa (10 bar).
▶
If the water pressure exceeds the
maximum value specified, a pres-
sure-reducing valve must be in-
stalled between the drinking water
connection and the hose set of the
appliance.
▶
Do not connect the appliance to
the mixer tap of an unpressurised
hot-water boiler.
Modified or damaged water hoses
may result in material damage and
damage to the appliance.
▶
Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses.
▶
Only use the water hoses supplied
with the appliance or genuine
spare hoses.
▶
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
Operating the appliance using water
that is dirty or too hot may lead to
material damage and damage to the
appliance.
▶
Only operate the appliance with
cold mains water.
Unsuitable cleaning products may
damage the surfaces of the appli-
ance.
▶
Do not use harsh or abrasive de-
tergents.
▶
Do not use cleaning products with
a high alcohol content.
▶
Do not use hard scouring pads or
cleaning sponges.
▶
Clean the appliance with nothing
but water and a soft, damp cloth.
