SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE SWITCHING THE APPLIANCE ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
DO ...
... Make sure that the transport bolts are removed.
... Use a separate earthed socket for the power supply.
... Make sure that the plug is accessible.
... Hold the plug and not the electric cable when
unplugging the power supply.
... Make sure that the fuses in the power circuit are rated
for 15A.
... Keep away from heat sources and direct sun light to
prevent plastic and rubber components from aging.
... Make sure that the power cord is not caught under or
in the appliance and avoid damage to the power cable.

water can leak. If joints are loose or there is leakage, turn off the
water supply and refix. Do not use the washing machine until the
hoses are properly fixed.
DURING DAILY USE OF THE APPLIANCE
DO ...
... Pull up zips and fix loose threads to prevent the items
from being entangled. If necessary, put small items into a net bag
or pillow.
... Turn off the machine after each wash program and
switch it off at the mains to save electricity and for safety. Wipe
clean the lower part of the porthole.
... Keep the door slightly open when the washing machine
is not in use to prevent formation of odours.
... Let the power cord be replaced by the manufacturer, his
service agent or other accordingly qualified persons, in case it is
damaged.
