The following warnings are provided in the interests of overall safety. You must read them carefully before
installing or using the appliance.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by
qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by
inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local Service Centre.
• Never start the machine if the electrical supply
cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop
are so damaged that inner components can be
reached.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any
cleaning or maintenance operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the
plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug
itself.
• Never spray the machine with a jet of water.
Danger of electric shock!
• During high temperature wash programmes the
door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!
• Let the water cool down before carrying out
emergency emptying or before opening the door in
an emergency.
• Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water
hoses causing electrocution hazard and damage
due to water leaks.
Positioning, connection, starting up
• Follow the instructions for positioning and
connection.
• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS
60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to
remove any manufacturing residue from the tub
and the drum.
• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when
temperatures can be below 0°, leave the appliance
for 24 hours at ambient temperature before starting it.
Proper use

the machine is used for any other purposes or is

Child safety

electrical appliances can be. When the machine is
working, children should be carefully supervised
and not be allowed to play with the appliance -
there is a risk that they could become trapped
inside.

polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger
of suffocation! Keep them out of children's reach.

reach.
• 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.

feature to prevent small children from being
trapped inside the machine.
