the top of the washing machine and underside of the worktop. 

CAUTION about the power cord
We recommend connecting most appliances to a dedicated circuit which is protected by a mains fuse. That is, a single outlet 
supplying power only to the appliance concerned, without any additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specifi cations 
of this owner‘s manual. Do not overload wall sockets. Overloaded wall sockets, loose or damaged wall sockets or extension 
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions could result in electric 
shock or fi re. Periodical y examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it, 
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect 
the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, squashed in a jamb of a door, or 
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance. 

CAUTION about location and moving
This equipment is not designed for maritime use or for use mobile instal ations such as caravans, aircraft etc. Turn off the 
stopcock if the machine is to be left for any length of time (e.g. if you are going on holiday), especial y if there is no fl oor drain 
(gul y) in the immediate vicinity. If relocating the appliance use the original packing material. Packaging material (e.g. plastic fi lm, 
Styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. There is a risk of suffocation! Keep all packaging well away from children and do not 
al ow children to play inside the bowl as they may become trapped.

CAUTION about the fl oor surface
•  The instal ation surface must be clean, dry and level.
•  Install washing machine on a fl at hard fl oor. Poorly constructed timber base fl oors can contribute to excessive noise and

Safety instructions for use

To minimize the risk of fi re within the inner bowl, the following should be observed:

•  Items that have been spotted or soaked with vegetable or cooking oil constitute a fi re hazard and should not be 

placed in a tumble dryer. 
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especial y when exposed to heat sources Such as in a tumble dryer. 
The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot 
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fi re. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items  can prevent 
heat from escaping and so create a fi re hazard.
If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or have been contaminated by hair care prod-
ucts be placed in a tumble dryer they should fi rst be washed in hot water with extra detergent-this will reduce, 
but not eliminate, the hazard. The ‘cool down’ cycle of tumble dryers should be used to reduce the temperature 
of the items. They should not be removed from the tumble dryer or piled or stacked while hot.

•  Items that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in or spotted with petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning 

solvents or other fl ammable or explosive substances should not be placed in a tumble dryer. 
Highly fl ammable substances commonly used in domestic environments include acetone, denatured alcohol, 
petrol/gasoline, kerosene, spot removers (some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax removers.

•  Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex foam) or similarly testured rubber like materials should not be 

dried in a tumble dryer on a heat setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce fi re by spontaneous combustion.

•  Fabric softeners or similar products should not be used during a drying cycle, to eliminate the effects of static 

electricity unless this practice is specifi cal y recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric softener or product.

•  Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements should not be placed in a tumble dryer. 

Damage to the tumble dryer can result if metal reinforcements come loose during drying. 
When available a drying rack could be used for such items.

• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
•  Rubber-backed articles, clothes fi tted with foam rubber pads, pil ows, rubber boots and rubber-coated tennis 

shoes should not be placed in a tumble dryer.
