children.
Risk of poisoning
– Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.
Risk of explosion
– Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents containing
solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent may cause an
explosion after being loaded into the washing machine.
Rinse items of laundry thoroughly by hand beforehand.
Risk of injury
– The washing machine door can become very hot.
– Be careful when draining hot detergent solution.
– Do not climb onto the washing machine.
– Do not lean on the open washing machine door.
