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, disconnect the plug from the mains supply and 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
• 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 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’.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing machine
works with cold water only.
• 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 put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It may
cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
• 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.
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.

Power Source and Cable
• Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, rated at 13
Amp 220V to 240V AC. 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 into 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 adapter 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.
• The mains plug must remain accessible to allow disconnection or an all
pole switch must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the
wiring regulations.
To Prevent Injury / Damage
• Do not climb on the washing machine. You may hurt yourself or damage the
washing machine.
• When opening and closing the door ensure you keep fingers away from the
door hinge, or this could lead to injury.
• Check your washing for objects such as nails, pins, coins, clips etc. They
could damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• To prevent any large, heavy objects (e.g., buckles, large buttons, etc.) from
hitting the glass door, turn your clothing inside out or remove the heavy
objects. They could damage your laundry or the washing machine.
• Do not wash, rinse or spin water-proof sheets or clothing. These may cause
vibration or washing machine failure during spin-drying, which could lead to
injury, damage to the washing machine or damage due to water leaking.
• Be careful when draining hot water or any detergent from the drum.
