䡲The appliance is suitable for washing home textiles with water and regular
washing machine detergent. The appliance is designed for use in the home
and for the above-mentioned purpose only. No liability is assumed for any
damage caused by improper or incorrect use.
䡲Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially
any electrically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer,
its Customer Services or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out
incorrectly may cause serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings,
as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If the appliance is not
working properly or in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given
in the 'Repair service' section. If necessary, please contact Customer
Services.
䡲Use original spare parts only.

䡲Only use water softener, dye / bleach or other additives expressly
recommended by the manufacturer for use in the appliance. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions carefully.
䡲Store washing detergents, washing additives and other additives in a cool,
dry place. Lumpy washing detergent can cause problems. Keep all
washing detergents and additives out of the reach of children.
䡲Before closing the appliance door and starting a programme, ensure that
there are no foreign objects or pets in the washing drum, detergent
dispenser drawer or around the foreign body trap. Foreign objects such as
coins, nails, paper clips, etc. can damage parts of the appliance, as well
as the washing.
