Safety Devices - Electrolux LAVAMAT 42230 ELECTRONIC User Instructions

User's instructions
Put all small items such as socks, belts, etc., together inside a small cloth
bag or pillow case, so that they cannot get trapped between the drum
and the tank.
Leave the cover and the drum open when you are not using your
washing machine, to air the tank and prevent the formation of mould
and bad smells.
Always unplug the washing machine before cleaning and servicing it.
Use only detergents designed for the washing machine. Follow the
recommendations made by the manufacturer of these products.
If the washing machine is installed in a location subject to frost,
completely drain the washing machine and unscrew the tap supply pipe
and put it down on the floor.
Elements forming part of the packaging (for example plastic films,
pieces of polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Keep these
packaging elements out of reach of children.
Make sure that pets cannot get into the drum of your washing machine.
Never use the washing machine if the power supply cable, the control
panel, the working surface or the base are damaged so that the inside
of the washing machine is accessible.

Safety devices

Cover: your washing machine is equipped with a safety device
preventing the washing machine cover from closing when the drum
doors are open.
It is impossible to start it until the doors are closed. An electromechanical
safety device prevents you from opening the cover while the washing
machine is operating, and for about 2 minutes after the end of the
programme.
Washing motor: a temperature safety device protects the motor
against risks of mechanical overload, or overvoltage or undervoltage.
Heating: heating will not start until the water quantity necessary for
washing has been added into the tank. This safety device is effective
mainly when the water supply is cut off or if you forget to open the
water supply tap.
