WARNING
Read and understand thoroughly these safety instructions
before use. The items indicated here are very important
safety precautions, which must be followed. We cannot be
liable for damage, caused by non-compliance with the
warning and safety instructions or resulting from
incorrect use or operation.
This washing machine is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they are supervised whilst using it or have been
shown how to use it by a person responsible for their
safety.
Technical safety
· Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any
externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged
washing machine.
· Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the
connection data on the data plate (voltage and current)
match the electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a
qualified electrician.
· The electrical safety of this washing machine can only be
guaranteed, when continuity is complete between it and an
effective earthing system, which complies with current
local and national safety regulations. It is most important
that this basic safety requirement is present and regularly
tested, and where there is any doubt the household wiring
system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of
an inadequate earthing system.
· Do not connect the washing machine to the mains
electricity supply by an extension lead. Extension leads do
not guarantee the required safety of the appliance.
· Unauthorized repairs could result in unforeseen dangers
for the user, for which manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved service
technician. Ensure current is not supplied to the machine
until after maintenance or repair work has been carried out.
· If the connection cable is damaged or broken, it must only
be replaced by an approved service technician to protect
the user from danger.
· Faulty components must only be replaced by genuine
manufacturer original spare parts. Only when these parts
are fitted can the safety standards of the machine be
guaranteed.
Note
THIS WASHING MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED.
Correct use
· To avoid the risk of personal injury or damage to the
washing machine, do not install it in place, where it is
damp and where it suffers from rainfall.
· Do not install the washing machine in place, where it
suffers from the sun directly, in which plastic or other
components will be damaged. It will be shortened the
life of your washing machine.
· Do not install the washing machine in place, where
temperatures below freezing may occur. Frozen hoses
may burst or split. The reliability of the electronic
control unit may be impaired at temperatures below
freezing point.
· Do not shoot the washing machine with water, when
you clean it.
· Keep the washing machine away from fire or heat
sources.
· Before using the washing machine for the first time,
check that the transit bolts at the rear of the machine
have been removed. During spinning, transit bolts
which are still in place may result in damage to both the
machine and adjacent furniture or appliances.
· Turn off the tap, if the machine is to be left for any
length of time (e.g. holiday), especially if there is no
floor drain (gully) in the immediate vicinity.
· Take care to ensure that foreign objects (e.g. nails, pins,
coins, paper clips) do not find their way into the
machine with the laundry. These may damage
components of the machine (e.g. drum), which in turn
can result in damage to the laundry.
· Do not wash water-repellent things (e.g. raincoats) with
the washing machine.
· Only remove laundry from the washing machine once
the drum has stopped turning. Reaching into a moving
drum is extremely dangerous and could result in injury.
