Warning and Safety instructions Explanation of the Warning and Safety symbols on the machine It is essential to read these operating instructions. Please refer to specific instructions, e.g. Installation instructions Caution, hot surfaces. Caution, voltage up to 1000 volts. Earthing Petrol, paraffin, or any easily flammable liquid must not be stored or used near the machine. Do not use the machine lid as a storage shelf. Fire and explosion hazard.
Warning and Safety instructions Connection should be made via a suitable isolator which complies with local and national safety regulations and which is easily accessible for disconnecting the machine from the electricity supply. Provision must be made on site to switch off all poles. The machine is only completely isolated from the electricity supply either when it is switched off at the isolator switch or the mains fuse has been withdrawn.
Warning and Safety instructions The washer-extractor may only be operated without supervision if there is a floor drain (gully) in the immediate vacinity. If the washer-extractor is switched off and the drum door is closed, you need to switch the machine on before you can open the door. If water comes out of the suds container when the door is opened, close the door and switch the washer-extractor on. Drain the water away before you try and open the door.
Warning and Safety instructions Chlorine and component damage Disposing of your old machine Notes on using chlorine bleach and perchlorethylene Before disposing of an old machine, first make the door lock unusable. This way you will prevent children from accidentally locking themselves in and endangering their lives. Frequent use of chlorine increases the risk of component damage.
Caring for the environment Disposing of the packing material Tips on saving energy The packaging is designed to protect the machine during transportation. The materials used are environmentally friendly for disposal. Rather than just throwing these materials away, please ensure that they are recycled. To save energy and water, try to load the maximum for the programme selected. Underloading is uneconomical. Overloading gives a poorer quality of wash result and may cause unnecessary creasing.
