The appliance is designed for home use only.
Make sure that water and electrical connections are made by qualified technicians, observing
the user manual (see “Installing your washing machine”) and local safety regulations.
Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet.
Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.
Make sure that the pockets of all clothing to be washed are empty.
Hard, sharp objects, such as coins, safety pins, nails, screws, or stones can cause
extensive damage to the appliance.
Never allow pets and children to play on or in the appliance. It may cause injury or suffocate them.
The glass door becomes very hot during the washing cycle. Never touch the glass door
while it is in use.
Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Repairs made by inexperienced or unqualified
persons may cause injury and/or make more serious repairs to the appliance necessary.
If the plug (power supply cord) is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
This appliance should only be serviced by our authorized service center, and only rated
spare parts should be used.
Do not let children (or pets) play on or in your washing machine. The washing machine door
does not open easily from the inside, and children may be seriously injured if trapped inside.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory 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.
To use this appliance safely, the user should become familiar with the instructions for
operation of the appliance and always take extra care when using it.
This appliance should be positioned to be accessible to the power plug, the water supply
tabs and the drain pipes.
Packing materials can be dangerous to children; keep all packing material (plastic bags,
polystyrene, etc.) well out of the reach of children.

skincare shops or massage clinics.
• Otherwise this will cause the packing to be deformed, which causes a malfunction or water leak.
A stainless washing tub does not usually rust. However if some metal such as a hair pin is
left in the tub for an extended time, the tub could rust.
• Do not leave water or bleach containing chlorine in the tub for an extended period of time.
• Do not regularly use or leave water containing iron in the tub for an extended period of
time. If rust starts appearing on the surface of the tub, apply a cleansing agent (neutral)
to the surface and use a sponge or soft cloth to clean it. (Under no circumstances use a
metal brush)
The dryer is not to be used if chemicals have been used for cleaning.
For washing machines with ventilation openings in the base, ensure that the opening is not
obstructed by carpet or any other obstacles.
