Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
Never touch or hold the mains plug
■
with wet hands.
Only pull out the mains cable by the
■
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
Never unplug the mains plug during
■
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
The mains voltage and voltage
■
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
The washing machine is only
■
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
The mains plug fits the socket.
■
The cable cross-section is adequate.
■
The earthing system is properly
■
installed.
The mains cable is only replaced by
■
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from customer
services.
No multiple plugs/couplings or
■
extension cables are used.
If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
■
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
Positioning and connecting
The mains plug can be accessed at
■
all times. If this is not possible, in
order to comply with the relevant
safety regulations, a switch (2-pole
switch-off) must be built into the
permanent installation in accordance
with electrical installation regulations.
The mains cable is not kinked,
■
squashed, altered or cut through.
The mains cable does not come into
■
contact with heat sources.
