Safety
Risk of scalding!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to scalding caused by hot suds.
If you have attached the water outlet
■
hose to the edge of the sink or bath,
there is a risk of scalding caused by
hot suds. The sink or bath may not be
used while the washing machine is in
use.
Firmly fi x the hose to the basin, sink
■
or bath to prevent it from slipping
due to the recoil caused by pumping.
For washbasins and sinks in particu-
■
lar, make sure that the cross section
of the discharge pipe is great enough
that the washbasin or sink cannot
overfl ow.
Allow the hot suds to cool before
■
draining the remaining water (e.g.
when emptying in the case of an
emergency).
Never force open the loading door.
■
Danger of explosion!
Improper handling of the appliance
can lead to explosions.
Do not wash any textiles in the wash-
■
