In accordance with the requirements of IEC 60335-1:
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, un-
less supervised or unless they have been given instruction concerning the use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Before using for the first time
The appliance must be installed and connected to the electricity supply in accord-
ance with the separate installation instructions. The necessary work should be car-
ried out by a qualified fitter or electrician.
Dispose of the packaging material in accordance with local regulations.
Ensure access to the place of disconnection (e.g. socket outlet, wall switch, mains
fuse, as well as water tap).
The transport lock must be removed. Failure to remove the transport lock can result
in damage to the appliance or fittings.
It is advisable to run an empty wash cycle to remove any residues from the manu-
facturing process.
A Add ½ cup of washing powder and select the programme.
The appliance corresponds to recognised technology stand
ards and the relevant safety regulations. Proper use of the
appliance is however essential to avoid damage and acci
dents. Please therefore follow the precautions given in these

Safety precautions

Correct use
The appliance is suitable for washing home textiles with water and regular wash-
ing 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.
Any repairs, modifications or manipulations to the appliance, especially any elec-
trically live parts, should only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Serv-
ices or similarly qualified persons. Repairs if carried out incorrectly may cause
serious injury, damage to the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the function-
ing 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.
Use original spare parts only.
Retain these operating instructions for future reference. If you sell or pass the appli-
ance on to a third party, please ensure these operating instructions accompany the
appliance, together with the instructions on installation. In this way, the new owner
can inform themselves about how to use the appliance correctly and read the per-
tinent safety precautions.
Do not use the appliance to wash the following:
Textiles that have been cleaned, treated or soaked with flammable chemicals, de-
tergents or solvents such as benzine, alcohol, stain remover, oil, paint, wax etc.
Fire or explosion hazard!
Wash materials containing such substances first by hand with water or allow the
solvent to evaporate completely.
Textiles with metal reinforcements (risk of damage).
Trainers, diving suits, rucksacks, large sleeping bags and duvets, carpets etc.
Safety precautions
7
Children in the home
Packaging material (e.g. plastic, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Dan-
ger of suffocation! Keep packaging material away from children.
The appliance is designed for use by adults who are familiar with these operating
instructions. Children are often unable to recognise the danger of electrical appli-
ances. Ensure proper supervision and do not allow children to play with the appli-
ance – there is a danger that children could get locked inside.
Washing detergent can irritate the eyes, mouth and throat and even cause chok-
ing! Keep washing detergent out of the reach of children.
Use the childproof locking facility.
Safety precautions
8
Note on use
If the drain hose leads into a sink (wash trough), check that it is fastened securely.
Make sure that the water can drain off fast enough. Flooding hazard!
From time to time, check the drain hose for tears, kinks, twists, bends etc.
Do not use the appliance if visibly damaged or if the inlet pipes are damaged.
Contact Customer Services.
If the appliance is not operating properly, disconnect it from the electricity supply
immediately.
Keep animals away from the appliance.
To protect your washing, follow the fabric care symbols and the hints and advice
in the 'Washing tips' section.
Do not use solvents (e.g. turpentine, benzine) instead of, or in addition to, water,
washing detergent or additives in your appliance. Fire or explosion hazard!
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.
Store washing detergents, washing additives and other additives in a cool, dry
place. Lumpy washing detergent can cause problems. Keep all washing deter-
gents and additives out of the reach of children.
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 for-
eign body trap. Foreign objects such as coins, nails, paper clips etc. can damage
parts of the appliance, as well as the washing.
After you have finished washing, always turn off the water tap before switching off
the electricity by turning off the wall switch or pulling out the mains plug. Never
pull the mains plug out by the cable.
Do not use the pivoting operating panel to lift or move the
appliance.
