Safety precautions (Please observe these fully.)

Please read the following instructions to avoid danger to you or your property.

We have split our safety precautions into two degrees of danger.

WARNINGThis describes issues which could cause death or serious injury.

CAUTION

WARNING

●If you will not be using the washing machine for a while, such as when you go on holiday, 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

●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.

Power source and cable

●Use an independent household dedicated mains socket, fully rated at AC 220V to 240V.

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 in 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 supply cord 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.

To Prevent Injury

●Do not dismantle, repair or modify the washing machine.

The washing machine could malfunction and cause a fire or injury. If repairs are needed, contact our dealer.
