NOTICE
Risk of damage to property!
Improper handling of the washing ma-
chine may lead to damage.
■
If a dolly cart is used to move the ap-
pliance, the appliance must be lifted
as shown on the packaging. Always
transport the appliance vertically and
with a built-in transport safety device.
■
Do not use any sharp or pointed ob-
jects when unpacking the appliance.
■
Do not use the appliance door or the
dispensing drawer to pull or lift the
appliance.
■
Remove all transport safety devices
and packaging prior to installation.
Make sure the appliance is not con-
nected to the power supply while the
transport safety devices are being re-
moved or installed.
■
If the washing machine is installed in
a location prone to frost, residual wa-
ter in the appliance can freeze at mi-
nus temperatures and cause damage.
Therefore drain residual water if there
is a risk of frost. Large volumes of wa-
ter may escape during emptying.
■
Do not place the washing machine
on top of other appliances, and do
not use it as a support for other appli-
ances (e.g. for tumble dryers). Do not
stand or sit on the washing machine.
■
Do not place the washing machine
on carpeted fl oors. Doing so would
prevent suffi cient ventilation, causing
the appliance to overheat and be-
come damaged.
■
For rugs, carpet, parquet or wooden
fl oorboards, place a stable wooden
plate measuring at least 60 × 60 cm
underneath the appliance.
Improper handling of the appliance

be installed. Enquire about the water
pressure with the local waterworks.
■
Close the water supply tap after every
use.
■
Close the water supply tap before
cleaning the water inlet fi lter.
