Check that the pump cover is inserted and fastened
secu
rely. Otherwise water can leak from the machine and
cause a slipping or scalding hazard.
When operating the washing machine at 2000 m above
sea level, it is absolutely imperative to activate the tempe-
rature limiter to prevent the water from boiling (see service
instructions or ask the customer service and/ or retailer).
Observe when washing:
The machine is exclusively intended for washing or wet
cleaning and spinning of all fabrics bearing a care label
indicating their suitability for these methods.
Do not leave children unattended near the machine and
do not let them play with it, especially during the waiting
phase of start time preselection. If required activate child
lock
(see chapter «
Extended basic settings
»).
Keep pets away from the machine.
If there is a puddle on the floor near the machine (hose
rupture, leakage or similar), wipe it dry and eliminate the
cause (see chapter «Problems»), otherwise slipping
hazard.
Do no place any objects on the top cover of the machine:
They might slip off and fall to the floor during the spin-
ning process.
Only use detergents, washing agents and other additives,
which are intended for use in household washing machi-
nes: softeners, colouring and bleaching agents, starch,
etc. Only add laundry starch in the final rinse (conditio-
ner), because there is a risk of explosion at other stages
of the wash.
Under no circumstances use any solvent-based deter-
gents in the washing machine. Textiles which contain
inflammable chemicals, solvent-based detergents, must
be rinsed well in clear water by hand before washing.
There is a risk that parts of the machine could be dama-
ged and poisonous vapour released. There is also a risk
of fire and explosion.
Before starting a wash programme make sure that there
is no foreign body in the drum and the detergent drawer
(coins, nails, paper clips, etc.).
When closing the door, make sure not to pinch your
fingers.
When washing at high temperatures, do not touch the
hot loading window (danger of burns).
Never loosen the pump cover or open the door during
an active wash programme, as this might cause a
scalding hazard and/or a hazard of personal injury due to
the rotating drum.
Please observe that after interrupting a wash programme,
the laundry may still be very hot: Burn hazard.
Only remove cooled laundry from the drum.
Observe at the end of the programme:
Do not reach into the spinning drum.
Turn off the tap and switch off the power.
If the main switch (on the building side) is turned off
without closing the water tap, the overflow protection
installed in the machine is ineffective.
When transporting your machine:
Fit the transport securing device.
Take care when transporting the machine! (risk of injury!)
Do not lift the machine by the fittings on the front!
General safety information:
Do not stand on the machine.
Do not sit, lean or support yourself on the loading door.
(danger of tipping!)
Under no circumstances spray the machine with water or
clean it with a steam cleaner.
Do not immerse the aqua-stop valve in water: Electric
shock hazard.
If the machine is not needed for a longer period of time,
turn off the tap and disconnect it from the power supply.
Touch the power plug with dry hands only. Only pull the
plug, do not pull the cable.
