~
Take care when handling
processing chemicals (detergents,
softeners, neutralizers, rinsing agents,
etc.). These may contain irritant or
corrosive ingredients.
Observe the applicable safety
regulations! Wear protective gloves and
goggles! Always follow the
manufacturer's safety instructions and
material safety data sheets when using
processing chemicals.
~
The machine is only designed for
use with water and the recommended
processing chemicals. NEVER use
organic solvents or flammable liquids.
These could cause an explosion or
damage to rubber and plastic
components, which results in leaks.
~
The water in the machine is not safe
to drink!
~
Do not stand, sit or lean on the
machine door when open. The
appliance might tip over or be
damaged.
~
Take care when loading standing
items with sharp pointed ends. Position
them in the machine so that you will not
hurt yourself or create a danger for
others.
~
When operating this machine,
beware of the high temperatures
involved. If you bypass the electrical
lock to open the door, there is the
danger of scalding and heat or
chemical burns. If disinfectants have
been used, there is also a risk of
inhaling toxic vapors.
~
If toxic chemicals may be present in
the wash cabinet (e. g. aldehydes in
the disinfectant), the door seal and, if
applicable, the steam condenser must
regularly be checked for soundness.
Opening the washer door during a
program interruption is particularly
dangerous when toxic chemicals are
present.
~
If you are exposed to toxic vapors or
processing chemicals, consult the
manufacturer's material safety data
sheets for emergency procedures.
~
Always allow baskets, inserts and
the washload to cool down. Empty any
water from hollow items into the wash
cabinet.
~
After drying with the drying unit,
leave the door open at first to allow the
items, baskets and inserts to cool
down.
~
Do not touch the heating elements
when you open the door during or at
the end of a program. They remain hot
for quite a few minutes after the
program has ended and can cause
burns.
~
NEVER hose down the machine or
the immediate vicinity, e.g., with a water
hose or pressure washer.
~
Before servicing the machine,
disconnect it from the power supply.
