Safety of Children and Infirm Persons
Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for
children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.
The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per-
sons without supervision.
Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling
electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super-
vised during operation and never allow children to play with the
washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselvesinside it.
Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing
machine's drum.
When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy
the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the
plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot
shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.

specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user.
If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your special-
ist dealer.

conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged
that the interior of the unit is openly accessible.
Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care
