General safety

Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified/ authorised service engineers.

Never use the appliance when the electrical cable is damaged or the control panel, worktop or plinth area are damaged to such an extent that the inside of the appliance is openly accessible.

Switch off the washing machine prior to cleaning it and carrying out maintenance. In addition, remove the power plug from the power point or – if the appliance has been hard-wired – switch off the cut- out in the fuse box or completely remove the fuse.

If operation is stopped, disconnect the appliance from the mains sup- ply and turn off the tap.

Never remove the power plug from the power point by pulling on the cable. Always pull the plug.

Multiway-plugs, connectors and extension cables must not be used.

Resulting overheating may constitute a fire hazard.

Never wash the washing machine down with a water jet. Danger of electric shock.

When using wash programmes with high temperatures the glass in the door will become hot. Do not touch it!

Before emergency emptying of the appliance, before cleaning the drain pump or opening the door in an emergency, let the water cool down.

Small animals can nibble on electrical cables and water hoses. This can constitute a risk of electrocution and water damage. Keep small animals away from the washing machine.
