Preventing problems


Never use solvent-based detergents, e.g. those containing
benzine, in this washing machine. This may result in damage to
component parts and create toxic fumes. Risk of fire and explosion!

When washing with high temperatures, remember that the porthole
glass becomes hot. Therefore, prevent children from touching the
porthole glass during the wash process.
Danger of burning!

Close the drum door after each wash programme. This way you
will avoid the danger of
- children climbing into the washing machine or hiding things in it.
- Small animals climb into the washing machine.

Do not damage, remove or bypass the safety components or
control elements of the washing machine.

Machines with a damaged control panel or damage to wire
insulation must not be used until they have been repaired.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similar qualified person in order to
avoid a hazard.

The water generated during washing is suds solution and not
drinking water. Drain the suds solution into an appropriate sewage
system.

Always make sure that the drum is stationary before reaching in to
remove laundry. Reaching into a moving drum is extremely
dangerous. Danger of injury!
