❃
The washing machine has been designed for
domestic use only, and as such any other
use is regarded as improper and therefore
potentially dangerous.
❃
Any modifications or attempts to alter the
equipment in any way may be dangerous for
the user and cause damage to the washing
machine.
❃
Due to the weight of the machine, special
safety standards must be observed during
handling.
❃
The machine must not be used by unsuper-
vised children.
❃
Any modifications to the water or electrical
system must be carried out by authorised
specialists.
❃
When positioning the appliance, make sure
that the power supply cable is not bent or
squashed and that it is accessible.
❃
Before operating the machine, remove all
packing materials and the locking device
used for protection during transport (protec-
tion screws). Failure to do this may result in
serious damage to the machine and to your
home.
❃
If the machine is installed on a carpeted floor,
make sure that air is free to circulate between
the machine and the floor.
❃
The washing machine must never be over-
loaded.
❃
When the machine is in operation, avoid any
contact with the water coming out of the drain
hose, as this may be hot. Do not touch the
door glass as this may also heat up during
the wash
❃
Only wash clothes that are machine wash-
able. In case of doubt, check the manufac-
turer’s instructions found on the label at-
tached to the clothes (see “Clothing cares
symbols “ ) .
❃
Before loading clothes into the washing ma-
chine, check that all the pockets are empty.
Hard or pointed objects such as coins, pins,
nails, screws or even stones can cause seri-
ous damage.
The door can only be
opened approximately
three minutes after the end
of each wash, as a safety
device has been fitted to
protect from accidental
opening.
N.B. for electronic models
the door will open when the
“end” indicator lights up
