Important Safety instructions

WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death when using your washing machine,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
– BOSCH washers are provided with an Operating, Care and Installation Instructions Manual.
Read and understand all instructions before using the washing machine.
– Do not wash articles that have been previously cleaned, washed, soaked, or spotted with gasoline,
dry cleaning solvents, other flammable or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could
ignite or explode. This includes articles that have been exposed to Naptha.
– Do not add gasoline, dry cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive substances to the wash.
Wash laundry in water only. Flammable or explosive substances may give off vapors that could
ignite or explode.
– Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that has not been
used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for this lenght of time, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow out of each faucet
for several minutes before using the washing machine. This will release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. As the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame while carrying out this procedure.
– Before the appliance is removed from service or discarded, remove the door and power cord/plug.
– Do not reach into the appliance if the wash drum is moving.
– Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather.
– Do not use bleach. Hazardous fumes can form.
– Do not tamper with the controls.
– Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any service unless specifically
recommended in the user maintenance instructions or in published user repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
– Always unplug the washing machine from the power supply before attempting any service.
Disconnect the power cord by grasping the plug, not the cord.
– To reduce the risk of fire, clothes, cleaning rags, mop heads and the like which have traces of any
flammable substances, such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, petroleum based oils or distillates, waxes,
fats, etc., must not be placed in the washing machine. These items may contain flammable
substances which, even after washing, may smoke or catch fire.
– Do not machine wash fiberglass materials (such as curtains and window coverings that use
fiberglass materials). Small particles may remain in the washing machine and stick to fabrics in
subsequent wash loads causing skin irritation.
– When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is legal responsibility of the parents
or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
– Keep pets away from the washing machine.
– Do not insert/pull out the power plug with wet hands.
– Do not touch the door if washing at high temperatures.
– Use caution when draining hot water.
– Do not allow anyone to climb, lean or hang on any part of the washer including any protruding
components such as the appliance door or a pull-out shelf.
– Do not sit or stand on the top of the washing machine.
– To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, DO NOT use an extension cord or an adapter to
connect the washing machine to the power supply.
– The washing machine must only be used for its intended purpose.
– Always follow the fabric care instructions recommended by the clothing manufacturer.
