Warning and Safety instructions
Preventing problems

Do not use chemical cleaning agents such as those used for dry cleaning in this
machine. There is a risk of
fire or explosion with most cleaning agents, e.g. benzine.

When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole glass becomes hot.
Therefore, prevent children from touching the porthole glass during the wash process.
Danger of burning!

Close the drum door after each wash programme. This is to avoid the risk of children
trying to climb into the washing machine or hiding things in it, and animals getting into the
machine.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components or control elements of the
washing machine.

Machines with a damaged control panel or damage to wire insulation must not be used
until they have been repaired.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

The water generated during washing is suds solution and not drinking water. Drain the
suds solution into an appropriate sewage system.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to remove laundry.
Reaching into a moving drum is extremely dangerous. Danger of injury!

Be careful not to put your hands in the gap between door and frame when closing the
drum door.
Caution! The drum door is locked automatically as soon as the machine starts.

If the dispensing drawer is open and the chute is missing, there is a risk of scalding
due to splashing water.
Only operate the machine with all attachments in place!

It is particularly important to observe manufacturer's instructions when using a
combination of cleaning agents and special application products. Products must only be
used for applications approved by the manufacturer to avoid any material damage or the
occurrence of strong chemical reactions.
