Precautions and tips

! This washing machine was designed and constructed in 
accordance with international safety regulations. The fol-
lowing information is provided for safety reasons and must 
therefore be read carefully.

General safety
•  This appliance was designed for domestic use only.

 This appliance can be used by children aged 

from 8 years and above and persons with re-

duced physical, sensory or mental capabilities 

or lack of experience and knowledge if they 

have been given supervision or instruction 

concerning use of the appliance in a safe way 

and understand the hazards involved. Chil-

dren shal  not play with the appliance. Clea-

ning and user maintenance shal  not be made 

by children without supervision.

• 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 extreme-

ly 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 circum-

stances 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 regu-

lations so that the packaging may be re-used.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical 

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 
col ected separately in order to optimise the recovery and 
recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the im-
pact on human health and the environment. 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 col ected. Consumers should contact 
their local authority or retailer for information concerning the 
correct disposal of their old appliance.
