Safety First!

For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such
as when you go on holiday, turn off the water supply to the
washing machine. This is particularly important if there is no
drainage around the washing machine.
If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up
and cause a leak.
General Use
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp
or exposed to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric
shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing
machine. It may cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away
from the washing machine. They may cause a fire or damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing
machine – for example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint
thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may
cause an explosion or a fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles
labelled washing machine washable.
• Anchor bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You
should remove these using a spanner or similar tool before
you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause
strong vibrations when the washing machine is spinning.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The
washing machine works with cold water.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on
to check that the hose is properly connected. If it's not, there
may be a water leak.
• Do not apply pesticide, hair spray or deodorant to the
washing machine.
• Do not put any electrical equipment near the washing
machine – for example a TV, radio or battery charger.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing
machine. It may cause washing machine troubles.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when
you close it. This could cause a water leak or damage your
laundry.
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, fully
rated at AC 220V to 240V. If the washing machine is plugged
in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly in the socket. A
loose connection may overheat and cause electrical shock
or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If
the mains cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It
may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on
the mains plug, it could cause a fire. To prevent this, unplug
the cable and clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug
not the cable. Pulling the cable may cause an electric shock
or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may
overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed
on the washing machine. If you are not sure, contact an
electrician.

clips etc. They could damage your laundry or the washing
machine.

These may cause vibration or washing machine failure
during spin-drying, which could lead to injury, damage to
the washing machine or damage due to water leaking.
