endanger their lives.
■
Ensure that children have no access
to the appliance when unsupervised,
regardless of whether the appliance
is switched on or off.

Risk of corrosion!
Detergents cause severe burns of the
skin and severe eye damage. They can
cause burns in the mouth and throat or
lead to suffocation.
■
Prevent children from coming into
contact with detergents.
■
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.
