guarantee and could lead to malfunction and cause fire or injury.
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket. If the machine is
plugged in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly into the socket. A loose
connection may overheat and cause electrical shock or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable
is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug from the power socket before cleaning and maintenance of the
machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause
an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains
plug, it could cause a fire. To prevent this, unplug the cable and clean the
mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the
cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adapter or extension cable. It may overheat and
cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the
machine. If you are not sure, contact an electrician.
• The mains plug must remain accessible to allow disconnection or an all
pole switch must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with
the wiring regulations.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• Do not climb and sit on the machine. You may hurt yourself or damage
the machine. Pets and children may climb into the machine. Check the
machine before every operation.
• When opening and closing the door ensure you keep fingers away from
the door hinge, or this could lead to injury.
• Check your washing for objects such as nails, pins, coins, clips etc. They
could damage your laundry or the machine.
• To prevent any large, heavy objects (e.g., buckles, large buttons, etc.)
from hitting the glass door, turn your clothing inside out or remove the
heavy objects. They could damage your laundry or the machine.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-proof sheets or clothing. These may
cause vibration or machine failure during spin-drying, which could lead
to injury, damage to the machine or damage due to water leaking.
