Safety
tains electrical and mechanical parts
which are essential for protection
against potential sources of danger.
■
Check whether the responsible elec-
tricity supplier has provisions re-
garding the connection of washing
machines. We recommend using a
pulse-sensitive residual-current de-
vice (RCD).
■
The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been installed properly.
When connecting, make sure that it
has the right voltage. You can fi nd
more detailed information about this
on the nameplate.
■
If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; this in-
cludes fuses, circuit breakers and con-
tactors.
■
Do not operate the appliance with an
external timer or a separate remote
control system.
■
Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
■
Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges.
■
If the mains cord of the appliance is
damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, through customer ser-
vice or by a qualifi ed specialist.
■
Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings and make sure
that children also cannot insert any
objects in them.
■
Never pull the mains plug out of the
socket by the mains cord, always hold
the mains plug itself.
■
Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■
Never immerse the mains cord or mains
plug in water or any other liquids.
■
In the event of a fault, as well as be-
fore cleaning and maintenance, un-
plug the mains plug from the socket
or disable/unscrew the fuse.
■
Never clean the appliance with a
high-pressure cleaner or steam cleaner.
■
Check the appliance regularly for
damage.
