Safety instructions

The safety of AEG/ELECTROLUX appliances complies with the industry standards and with legal requirements on the safety of appliances. However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the fol- lowing safety notes.

General safety

•Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified person- nel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.

•Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components can be reached.

•Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or mainte- nance operations.

•Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the sock- et; always take hold of the plug itself.

•Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock!

•During high temperature wash programmes the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it!

•Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency.

•Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing elec- trocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.

Positioning, connection, starting up

•Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.

•Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 60, with half the amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue from the tub and the drum.

•Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperature before starting it.
