IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
~
Do not install or store this appliance
where it will be exposed to the weather.
~
Do not install the washing machine
in rooms where temperatures below
freezing may occur.
~
Before using the washer for the first
time, remove the shipping struts at the
back of the appliance (see "Installation
- Removing the shipping struts"). Failure
to remove the shipping struts can
damage the washer and surroundings
during spinning.
~
During extended absences (e.g.,
vacation), close the water supply.
~
Danger of flooding!
Before hanging the drain hose in the
sink, make sure the water will drain
away quickly enough.
Secure the hose. The force of the water
exiting the hose can cause an
unsecured hose to pop out of the sink.
~
Ensure that no foreign objects are
left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper
clips, etc.) this can cause damage to
clothes and the machine.
~
Proper dosing of the detergent will
eliminate the need to remove lime
deposits. However, if heavy limescale
does form on the washer, select a
descaling agent with corrosion
protection. Closely follow the
instructions on the product package.
