Safety precautions
General
Please read the instruction manual and save it for future
reference.
•Please do not use the washing machine if you have not
read and understood these instructions or use first.
•Failure to observe the instructions for use or inappropriate
use of the washing machine may result in damage to the
laundry or the appliance, or injury to the user. Keep the
instruction manual handy, near the washing machine.
•The appliance has to be connected to the water and power
supply by a trained expert.
•Any repair and maintenance pertaining to safety or
performance should be done by trained experts.
•To avoid hazard, damaged power cord may only be replaced
by the manufacturer, authorized service technician, or other
authorized person.
•After installation, the washing machine should stand still for
two hours before it is connected to the power mains.
•The washing machine may not be connected to the power
mains using an extension cord.
•Do not connect the washing machine to an electrical outlet
intended for an electric shaver or hair dryer.
4

•To connect the washing machine to water supply, make sure
to use the supplied water supply hose and gaskets. Water
pressure has to be between 0.1 and 1 MPa (approximately
1–10 kp/cm2, 1-10 bar, 10–100 N/cm2).
•Always use a new water supply hose to connect the
appliance to water supply; do not reuse an old water supply
hose.
•After the washing cycle, close the water tap and pull out
the washing machine plug from the power socket.
If you have a washing machinewith a 3-phase connection,
do not pull the plug out of the power outlet.
•Only use the washing machine for washing laundry, as
described in the instruction manual. The machine is not
intended for dry cleaning.
•In case of incorrect appliance connection, incorrect use, or
servicing by an unauthorized person, the user shall bear the
cost of any damage.
•Only use detergents intended for the washing machine!
•Only use agents for machine washing and care of laundry.
We shall not be responsible for any damages or
discolouration of gaskets and plastic parts resulting from
incorrect use of bleaching or colouring agents.
•Bleaches that contain chlorine can be replaced with
oxygen-based bleaches. Otherwise, a neutralization cycle
should be performed by running the Cotton program at the
highest temperature. For best results, use hydrogen peroxide
or oxygen-based detergents.
5

•Do not use colourants (dyes) or bleaching substances
(substances for discolouration or removal of colourants) as
they contain sulphuric compounds that could cause
corrosion.
•Excessive use of products containing chlorine compounds
increases the risk of premature failure of appliance
components. This depends on the concentration of chlorine,
exposure time, and temperature.
•DANGER OF FIRE!
Do not use detergents that contain solvents as this could
lead to release of poisonous gases, damage to the
machine, and risk of fire and explosion.
•Before using the appliance for the first time, remove the
transport bolts and all other transport protection devices.
See chapter "BEFORE FIRST USE/Transport protection".
•The machine is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with physical or mental impairments, or persons
with lacking experience and knowledge. These persons
should be instructed about the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
•Emergency door opening tool is located on the back side of
the dispenser.
•Maximum washing capacity in kg is indicated on the rating
plate (or in the PROGRAM TABLE).
This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar
applications, such as:
6

•staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments;
•farm houses;
•by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type
environments;
•bed and breakfast type environments;
•areas for communal use in blocks of flats or in launderettes.
For appliances without plug, disconnection must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring
rules.
Child safety

and closed the door from the inside).
•Keep the detergent and conditioner out of reach of children.

•Do not let children younger than three years come near
the appliance, unless they are under constant
supervision.
7

safety standards. This washing machine may be used by
children aged 8 years and above and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of
experience and knowledge, but only if they are supervised
during the use of the appliance, if they have been provided
relevant instructions regarding safe use of the washing
machine, and if they understand the hazards of inappropriate
use. Make sure children do not play with the appliance. Make
sure the children do not clean the washing machine or
perform any maintenance tasks without supervision.
Danger of hot surface
•At higher washing temperatures, the door glass will heat up.
Be careful to avoid burns. Make sure children do not play
near the door glass.
Overflow guard function
If the water level in the appliance rises above the normal level,
then the excessive water level protection will be activated.
It will shut off the water supply and start pumping out the water.
