Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household
dedicated mains socket, rated
at 10 Amp 220V to 240V AC. If
the washing machine is plugged
in with other appliances, it may
overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is
pushed firmly into the socket. A
loose connection may overheat
and cause electrical shock or a
fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains
plug for any damage. If the mains
cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to
avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when
cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or
mains plug with wet hands. It
may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly
for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the
mains plug, it could cause a fire.
To prevent this, unplug the cable
and clean the mains plug with a
dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug,
hold onto the mains plug not
the cable. Pulling the cable may
cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adapter
or extension cable. It may
overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage
matches the voltage displayed on
the washing machine. If you are
not sure, contact an electrician.
• The mains plug must remain
accessible to allow disconnection
or an all pole switch must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring
in accordance with the wiring
regulations.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• Do not climb on the washing
machine. You may hurt yourself
or damage the washing machine.
• When opening and closing the
door ensure you keep fingers
away from the door hinge, or this
could lead to injury.
• Check your washing for objects
such as nails, pins, coins, clips etc.
They could damage your laundry
or the washing machine.
• To prevent any large, heavy
objects (e.g., buckles, large
buttons, etc.) from hitting the
glass door, turn your clothing
inside out or remove the heavy
objects. They could damage your
laundry or the washing machine.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-
proof sheets or clothing. These
may cause vibration or washing
machine failure during spin-
drying, which could lead to injury,
damage to the washing machine
or damage due to water leaking.
• Be careful when draining hot
water or any detergent from the
drum.
