IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you
go on holiday, turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is
particularly important if there is no drainage around the washing machine.
If the water is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.
General Use
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the
weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine. They may
cause an explosion or a fire.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the
hose is properly connected. If it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may
cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
Power Source and Cable
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the washing
machine. If you are not sure, contact an electrician.
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 13 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.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may overheat and
cause a fire.
• 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
rules.
• 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.
