Safety
The safety of ELECTROLUX electrical appliances
conforms to the recognised technical regulations
and the legislation covering the safety of appliances.
However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our
responsibility to inform you of the following safety
information.
Prior to initial start-up
• Refer to the ” Installation and Connection
Instructions ” later in this user information.
• When the unit is delivered in winter months with
minus temperatures: Store the washing machine
for 24 hours at room temperature before putting it
into operation.
Correct Use
• The washing machine is only designed for normal
domestic washing. If the unit is used for purposes
other than that for which it is designed, the manu-
facturer can accept no liability for any resulting
damages.
• For safety reasons, conversions or modifications
to the washing machine are not permissible.
• Use only detergents which are suitable for wash-
ing machines. Follow the washing detergent man-
ufacturer's instructions.
• The washing must not contain any flammable sol-
vents. Also remember this when washing pre-
cleaned washing.
• Do not use the washing machine for chemical
cleaning.
• Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing
machines if the manufacturer expressly allows
these products. We cannot be held liable for any
resulting damage.
• Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwa-
ter or service water only if it meets the require-
ments outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988.
• Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If
the washing machine is in a room which is at risk
from frost, an emergency emptying operation
must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see
the section ”Carry Out Emergency Emptying”).
Child Safety
• Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene)
can be hazardous to children. Risk of suffocation!
Keep packaging away from children.
• Children often cannot recognise the hazards
associated with handling electrical appliances.
Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision dur-
ing operation and do not allow children to play
with the washing machine – there is a risk that
children can get trapped inside.
• Ensure that children or small animals cannot
climb into the washing machine's drum.
• When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out
the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the
electrical supply lead and throw away the plug
and the left-over cable. This means that children
at play cannot shut themselves inside and in so
doing be in danger.
General Safety
• Repairs to the washing machine may only be car-
ried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs
may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs
are necessary, consult our customer service or
your specialist dealer.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains
cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work sur-
face or base panel area are so badly damaged
that the interior of the unit is openly accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine before carrying
out cleaning, care and maintenance work. Also
pull the mains plug out of the socket or, – if it is
permanently connected, – switch off the circuit
breaker at the household power distribution box
or completely remove the screw-in fuse.
• Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the
socket. Always
pull the plug itself.
• Multiple connectors, couplings and extension
cables must not be used.
There is a risk of fire
with overheating!
• Do not spray down the washing machine with a
water jet. Risk of electric shock!
• The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of
wash programmes with high temperatures. Do
not touch!
• Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying
out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning
the drain pump.
• Small animals can chew the power cables and
water hoses. Risk of electric shock and danger of
water damage! Keep small animals away from the
washing machine.
