Safety of children
• Packaging materials (e.g. sheet and Styrofoam) can be dangerous for
children. Danger of asphyxiation! Keep packaging materials at a safe
distance from children.
• Children are often unable to recognise the dangers involved with
electrical appliances. Provide for proper supervision during operation,
and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – the
danger exists that a child might lock itself into the appliance.
• Make certain that children or small animals do not climb into the
drum of the washing machine.
• If the washing machine needs to be disposed of, remove the mains
plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical cable and dispose of
the plug and remaining cable separately. In this way children are pre-
vented from locking themselves in and are not exposed life threate-
ning danger.
General Safety
• Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by trained
personnel. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards. If
repairs are required, contact customer service or your dealer.
• Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the
control panel, the work surface, or the plinth are damaged to such an
extent that components inside the machine are openly accessible.
• Switch off the washing machine before cleaning, maintenance and
servicing. In addition, unplug from the mains or – in the case of per-
manent connection – pull the circuit breaker, or completely remove
screw type fuses.
• Never remove the mains plug by pulling on the cable. Always grip the
plug.
• Multi-way plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used!
• Do not clean the washing machine with a jet of water. There is a risk
of electric shock!
• When high temperature washing programs are selected, the glass in
the door becomes hot. Do not touch!
• Leave the water in the machine to cool down before performing an
emergency drain or cleaning the circulation pump.
• Small animals may gnaw at electrical power cables and water hoses.
There is a risk of electric shock and damage from water leaks! Keep
small animals away from the washing machine.
