SAFETY WARNINGS
WASHING MACHINE
For your continued safety and to reduce the risk of injury or electric shock,
please follow all the safety precautions listed below.
WARNING!
• If you will not be using the washing machine for a while such as when
you go on holiday, disconnect the plug from the mains supply and
turn off the water supply to the washing machine. This is particularly
important if there is no drainage around the washing machine.
• If the water supply is left on, water pressure may build up and cause a
leak.
General Use
• Transit bolts are used to transport the washing machine. You should
remove these using a spanner or similar tool before you install the
washing machine. If you do not, it will cause strong vibrations when the
washing machine is spinning.
• Do not install your washing machine anywhere that is damp or exposed
to the weather. If you do, it may cause an electric shock, fire, failure or
deterioration.
• Do not pour water directly onto any part of the washing machine. It may
cause a short circuit or electric shock.
• Keep burning objects such as candles or cigarettes, away from the
washing machine. They may cause a fire or damage.
• Keep flammable substances well away from the washing machine – for
example kerosene, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner and alcohol, or
clothing soaked with these. They may cause an explosion or a fire.
• This washing machine is only suitable for washing textiles labelled
‘washing machine washable’.
• Do not connect the washing machine to hot water. The washing
machine works with cold water only.
• Before you start using the washing machine, turn the tap on to check
that the hose is properly connected. If it’s not, there may be a water leak.
• Do not put too much laundry or detergent into the washing machine. It
may cause issues with the washing machine or laundry.
• Be careful not to get your laundry caught in the door when you close it.
This could cause a water leak or damage your laundry.
• This washing machine is for household (domestic) use only.
