Safety instructions

Before using your machine for the first time

Safety instruc- tions for the user

-Follow the installation and connection instructions

-Do not connect a damaged machine (e.g. damaged during transport)

-Small quantities of water in the detergent/additive compartment are due to factory tests

-To remove residue from manufacturing in the wash drum and dispenser compartment, a wash programme without clothes should be carried out - e.g. colour wash 60°C with a 1/2 measuring beaker of detergent.

The safety of AEG electrical appliances is in conformity with recognized technical standards and current legislation. Nevertheless, we feel obliged to point out to you and other possible users the following :

-Ensure before switching on the machine that the nominal voltage and current type indicated on the manufacturer’s plate correspond with the voltage and current type where the machine is to be used. The necessary fuse protection should also be read off the rating plate.

-If your ÖKO-LAVAMAT is in a room subject to temperatures below freezing, the water must be removed from the machine should the danger of freezing be expected.

-Before cleaning, care and maintenance, ensure that the machine is switched off. You are completely safe if you remove the plug from the power-point, or, in the case of a fixed installation, when the circuit breaker is open or the cartridge-fuse is completely removed (see installation and connection instructions).

-Never spray the machine with a jet of water.

-Never pull the plug out by pulling on the cord, but rather on the plug itself.
