Safety Warnings

For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock, please follow all the safety
precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when you go on holiday, turn off the
water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly important if there is no drainage around the
washing machine.
If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a leak.
General Use
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed to the weather. If you do, it
may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may cause a short circuit or
electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the washing machine. They may cause a
fire or damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for example kerosene, gasoline,
benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a
fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled washing machine washable.
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should remove these using a spanner or
similar tool before you install the washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when
the washing machine is spinning.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine works with cold water.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check that the hose is properly
connected. If it's not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not apply pesticide, hair spray or deodorant to the washing machine.
• Do not put any electrical equipment near the washing machine – for example a TV, radio or battery
charger.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may cause washing machine
troubles.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it. This could cause a water leak
or damage your laundry.
Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, fully rated at AC 220V to 240V. If the washing
machine is plugged in with other appliances, it may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure the mains plug is pushed firmly in the socket. A loose connection may overheat and cause
electrical shock or a fire.
• Check the mains lead and mains plug for any damage. If the mains cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Unplug the mains lead when cleaning the washing machine.
• Do not touch the mains lead or mains plug with wet hands. It may cause an electric shock.
• Check the mains plug regularly for dirt. If dirt accumulates on the mains plug, it could cause a fire. To
prevent this, unplug the cable and clean the mains plug with a dry rag.
• If you disconnect the mains plug, hold onto the mains plug not the cable. Pulling the cable may cause
an electric shock or a fire.
• Do not use a mains plug adaptor or extension cable. It may overheat and cause a fire.
• Make sure your home voltage matches the voltage displayed on the washing machine. If you are not
sure, contact an electrician.
