Warning and Safety instructions
Safety with children
Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the wash‐ ing machine unless they are constantly supervised.
Children 8 years and older may only use the washing machine un‐ supervised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recog‐ nise and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the washing machine unsupervised.
Please supervise children in the vicinity of the washing machine and do not let them play with it.
For machines with a 'porthole' door, remember that the porthole glass will be hot when washing at very high temperatures. Do not let children touch it.
Technical safety
Please observe the instructions in "Installation and connection" and "Technical data".
Before setting up the washing machine, check it for any externally visible damage. Do not install or use a damaged machine.
Before connecting the washing machine, ensure that the connec‐ tion data on the data plate (fuse rating, voltage and frequency) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a quali‐ fied electrician.
