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.
•Instructions for use are available on our website at www.asko.com.
•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

Safety precautions

•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.
•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".
