 Safety 

information

Important!

 Read carefully & keep for future

reference.

• The safety of Your appliance complies with

the industry standards and with legal re-
quirements on the safety of appliances.
However, as manufacturers, we feel it is
our duty to provide the following safety
notes.

• It is most important that this instruction

book should be retained with the appli-
ance for future reference. Should the ap-
pliance be sold or transferred to another
owner, or should you move house and
leave the appliance, always ensure that the
book is supplied with the appliance in or-
der that the new owner can get to know
the functioning of the appliance and the
relevant warnings.

• You MUST read them carefully before in-

stalling or using the appliance.

• Before first starting up, check the appli-

ance for any damage incurred during
transport. Never connect up a damaged
appliance . If parts are damaged, contact
your supplier.

• If the appliance is delivered in the winter

months when there are minus tempera-
tures. Store it at room temperature for 24
hours before using for the first time.

General safety

• It is dangerous to alter the specifications or

attempt to modify this product in any way.

• During high temperature wash pro-

grammes the door glass may get hot. Do
not touch it!

• Make sure that small pets do not climb into

the drum. To avoid this, please check into
the drum before using.

• Any objects such as coins, safety pins,

nails, screws, stones or any other hard,
sharp material can cause extensive dam-
age and must not be placed into the ma-
chine.

• Only use the advised quantities of fabric

softener and detergent. Damage to the
fabric can ensue if you over-fill. Refer to the
manufacturer’s recommendations of
quantities.

• Wash small items such as socks, laces,

washable belts etc in a washing bag or pil-
low case as it is possible for such items to
slip down between the tub and the inner
drum.

• Do not use your washing machine to wash

articles with whalebones, material without
hems or torn material.

• Always unplug the appliance and turn off

the water supply after use, cleaning and
maintenance.

• Under no circumstances should you at-

tempt to repair the machine yourself. Re-
pairs carried out by inexperienced people
may cause injury or serious malfunction-
ing. Contact your local Service Centre. Al-
ways insist on genuine spare parts.
