danger their lives.

Make sure that children have no ac-
cess to the appliance when unsuper-
vised, regardless of whether the ap-
pliance is switched on or off.

skin and severe eye damage. They can
cause burns in the mouth and throat or
lead to suffocation.

Keep children away from the open
appliance. There may still be rem-
nants of detergents inside. The water
inside is not potable drinking water.
■
Consult a doctor immediately if the
child has been exposed to detergent
in their mouth.
Risk of poisoning!
Washing detergents and fabric-care
products can be harmful to health.

Keep these products out of the reach
of children and pets.
