Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• CAUTION!
if you must use an extension cord, make sure it is earthed, has been approved and
has the same or higher electrical rating (voltage and power) as the product. Arrange
the extended cord so that it is not subjected to splashing or ingress of moisture.
• After use: Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.
• Disconnect: Unplug the washing machine from the power supply before cleaning,
servicing, maintenance or moving the appliance. Pull by the plug, not by the cord.
• Keep openings clear: Do not insert any objects into ventilation or similar openings.
• No timer: The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote control system.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
