Preventing material damage
Follow these instructions to avoid ma-
terial damage and damage to the ap-
pliance.
ATTENTION!
¡
The functionality of the appliance
may be impaired if you use the
wrong quantity of fabric softener,
detergent, care product or clean-
ing agent.
▶
Follow the dosage recommend-
ations from the manufacturer.
¡
Exceeding the maximum load ca-
pacity impairs the function of the
appliance.
▶
Observe the "maximum load ca-
pacity" →
for each
programme and do not exceed
it.
¡
The appliance is secured for trans-
portation using transit bolts. Transit
bolts which have not been re-
moved may result in material dam-
age and damage to the appliance.
▶
Before starting up the appliance,
remove the transit bolts com-
pletely 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
incorrectly.
▶
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 connect-
ing elements such as adapters,
extensions, valves or similar.
▶
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.
▶
Make sure that the water pres-
sure in the water supply system
is min. 100 kPa (1 bar) and
max. 1000 kPa (10 bar).
▶
If the water pressure exceeds
the maximum value specified, a
pressure-reducing valve must be
installed between the drinking
water connection and the hose
set of the appliance.
▶
Do not connect the appliance to
the mixer tap of an unpressur-
ised 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 sup-
plied with the appliance or genu-
ine spare hoses.
▶
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
¡
Operating the appliance using wa-
ter that is dirty or too hot may
cause material damage.
▶
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
detergents.
▶
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.
