Child Safety - Electrolux EWD 1477 Instruction Booklet

If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain
vegetable or cooking oil or have been
contaminated by hair care products be placed in a
waher-dryer they should first be washed in hot
water with extra detergent - this will reduce, but not
eliminate, the hazard.
The 'cool down' cycle of washer-dryers should be
used to reduce the temperature of the items. They
should not be removed from the washer-dryer or
piled or stacked while hot.
• Items that have been previously cleaned in,
washed in, soaked in or spotted with
petrol/gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents or other
flammable or explosive substunces should not be
placed in a washer-dryer.
Highly flammable substances commonly used in
domestic environments include acetone, denatured
alcohol, petrol/gasoline, kerosine, spot removers
(some brands), turpentine, waxes and wax
removers.
• Items containing foam rubber (also known as latex
foam) or similarly textured rubber, like materials
should not be dried in a washer-dryer on a heat
setting.
Foam rubber materials can, when heated, produce
fire by spontaneous combustion.
• Fabric softeners or similar products should not be
used in a washer-dryer to eliminate the effects of
static electricity unless this practice is specifically
recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Undergarments that contain metal reinforcements
should not be placed in a washer-dryer.
Damage to the washer-dryer can result if metal
reinforcements come loose during drying. When
available a drying rack could be used for such
items.
• Plastic articles such as shower caps or babies'
waterproof napkin covers should not be placed in a
washer-dryer.
• Rubber-backed articles, clothes fitted with foam
rubber pads, pillows, galoshes and rubber-coated
tennis shoes should not be placed in a washer-
dryer.

Child safety

• This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons unless they have been
adequately supervised by a responsible person to
ensure that they can use the appliance safety.
Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• The packaging components (e.g. plastic film,
polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children's reach.
• Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's
reach.
• Make sure that children or pets do not climb into
the drum. To avoid this the machine incorporates a
special feature. To activate this device, rotate the
button (without pressing it) inside the door
clockwise until the groove is horizontal. If
necessary use a coin.
To disable this device and restore the possibility of
closing the door, rotate the button anti-clockwise
until the groove is vertical.
• When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the
electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with
the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in
order to prevent children from becoming trapped
inside while playing.
