IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons when using the machine, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
1. READ all instructions before using the machine, and KEEP them in a prominent location for customer use.
2. Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, and other flammable or explosive substances as they GIVE OFF VAPOURS that
could ignite or explode.
3. DO NOT ADD petrol, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash water.
These substances give off vapours that could ignite or explode.
4. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such
a period, before using the washing machine, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
5. Do not allow children to play on or in the washer. CLOSE SUPERVISION of children is necessary when the
washer is used near children.
6. Before the washer is removed from service or discarded, REMOVE the door.
7. DO NOT TRY TO OPEN THE WASHER'S DOOR if the drum is moving.
8. Do not install or store the washer where it will be exposed to the WEATHER.
9. DO NOT TAMPER with controls.
10. DO NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE any part of the washer or attempt any servicing, unless this is specifically
recommended in the user instructions or in published user-repair instructions that you understand and have
the skills to carry out.
11. DO NOT REMOVE any safety device OR MODIFY OR MANIPULATE any component or part of the
machine. DO NOT INSTALL any extra elements inside the machine.
12. Any part of the machine that is replaced may affect its operation and the user's safety. For this reason, USE
ONLY THE MANUFACTURER'S ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS. Failure to comply with this warning can
cause serious accidents, malfunctions and the loss of the machine's guarantee and certifications.
13. Failure to comply with or observe the legislation and regulations covering health, safety and prevention of
risks in the workplace applicable in the country where the machine has been installed, or actions contrary to
common sense, MAY CAUSE personal injury or even death to the user.
14. The machine should only be used for those purposes established by the manufacturer and following the
instructions for use set out in the instruction manuals. Any use not specified in the manuals may lead to
additional risks. Pay special attention to information headed DANGER, WARNING and PRECAUTION.
15. The room where the machine is located MUST comply with the environmental conditions (air venting,
temperature, humidity, etc.) specified in the technical specifications
MACHINE IN ENVIRONMENTS where it will be splashed with water or where there is a very high level of
humidity in the atmosphere.
16. Clearly mark out danger areas and PREVENT public access to them when the machine is operating. Do not
expose yourself to drainage areas or to vapour, condensation, combustion gas or ventilation outlets.
17. All machines working at temperatures present a fire risk. Take EXTREME care: CLEAN the machine of
