Safety Warnings
For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety
precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you go on holiday, disconnect the plug
from the mains supply and turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly important if
there is no drainage around the washing machine.
• If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.
General Use
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should remove these using a spanner or similar
tool before you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the washing
machine is spinning.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause
an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the washing machine. They may cause a fire or
damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for example kerosene, gasoline, benzene,
paint thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled ‘washing machine washable’.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine works with cold water only.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the hose is properly connected. If
it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may cause issues with the washing
machine or laundry.
• Do not apply pesticide, hair spray or deodorant to the washing machine.
• Do not put any electrical equipment near the washing machine – for example a TV, radio or battery charger.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it. This could cause a water leak or
damage your laundry.
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 10 Amp 220V to 240V AC. If the washing
machine is plugged in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly into the socket. A loose connection may overheat and cause
electrical shock or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains plug, it could cause a fire. To prevent
this, unplug the cable and clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the cable. Pulling the cable may cause an
electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable. It may overheat and cause a fire.
