Grounding instructions
A) Grounding instructions for a grounded,
cord-connected appliance:
In the event of malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for
electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must
be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative or personnel if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly
grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided with the
appliance.
If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
B) Grounding instructions for a permanently
connected appliance:
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or
an equipment-grounding conductor must be run
with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the
appliance.
NOTE!
This manual does not cover every possible
condition and situation that may occur. Use
common sense and caution when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
Installation

Overflow guard function
If the machine’s water level rises above the
normal level, the overflow guard function begins
to pump water out and shuts off the water
intake. If the water level has not dropped within
60 seconds, the program is terminated.
Transport/Winter storage
If the machine is to be transported or stored in
unheated premises where the temperature can
fall below freezing, do as follows:
• Empty the filter and the drain pump. See the
"Care and maintenance instructions" chapter.
• Shut off the water to the washing machine,
loosen the supply hose to the intake valve,
and let the water run out from the valve and
hose.
• After emptying the pump, a small amount of
water may remain in the machine. This does
not affect quality or damage the machine.
Disposal
When the machine has reached the end of its
service life and is to be disposed of, it should
immediately be made unusable by removing
the door to the washing compartment. Contact
your local authorities for information about
where your machine should be disposed of
and recycled in the proper way. The machine is
