Precautions and tips
!
This washing machine was designed and constructed
in accordance with international safety regulations. The
following information is provided for safety reasons and
must therefore be read carefully.
General safety
•
This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, senso-
ry or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
•
This appliance was designed for domestic use only.
•
Do not touch the machine when barefoot or with wet
or damp hands or feet.
•
Do not pull on the power supply cable when unplugging
the appliance from the electricity socket. Hold the
plug and pull.
•
Do not open the detergent dispenser drawer while the
machine is in operation.
•
Do not touch the drained water as it may reach extre-
mely high temperatures.
•
Never force the porthole door. This could damage the
safety lock mechanism designed to prevent accidental
opening.
•
If the appliance breaks down, do not under any cir-
cumstances access the internal mechanisms in an
attempt to repair it yourself.
•
Always keep children well away from the appliance
while it is operating.
•
The door can become quite hot during the wash cycle.
•
If the appliance has to be moved, work in a group of
two or three people and handle it with the utmost
care. Never try to do this alone, because the appliance
is very heavy.
•
Before loading laundry into the washing machine, make
sure the drum is empty.
Disposal
•
Disposing of the packaging materials: observe local
regulations so that the packaging may be re-used.
•
The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Elec-
trical and Electronic Equipment, requires that old
household electrical appliances must not be disposed
of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old
appliances must be collected separately in order to
optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials
they contain and reduce the impact on human health
and the environment.
Opening the porthole door manually
In the event that it is not possible to open the porthole
door due to a powercut, and if you wish to remove the
laundry, proceed as follows:
1. remove the plug from the electrical socket.
2. make sure the water level inside the machine is lower
than the door opening; if it is not, remove excess water
using the drain hose, collecting it in a bucket.
3. pull outwards using the tab as indicated in the figure,
until the plastic tie-rod is freed from its stop position;
pull downwards and open the door at the same time.
The crossed out “wheeled bin” symbol on the
product reminds you of your obligation, that when
you dispose of the appliance it must be separately
collected. Consumers should contact their local
authority or retailer for information concerning
the correct disposal of their old appliance.
