Important safety instructions
Warning
In order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injuries,
persons operating the appliance must adhere to the following
safety precautions:
It is essential to read the operating instructions before using the
washing machine.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The washing machine must be grounded. Connecting the appliance
to ground reduces the danger of electric shock in the event of a
malfunction. The grounding is a protective conductor which provides
a path of least resistance for the current. The washing machine
comes complete with a power cord and plug with the corresponding
protective conductor. The power cord plug must be inserted into a
suitable outlet that has been installed and grounded in compliance
with all applicable local codes.
WARNING: Incorrect grounding of the appliance will run the risk of
electric shock. In case of doubt, get in touch with a qualified
electrician and arrange to have your cabling inspected.
Do not replace or make any changes to the plug supplied. If there
is no suitable socket available, a socket must be installed by a
qualified electrician.
Do not use a damaged washing machine.
Do not expose the washing machine to outdoor weather
conditions.
Do not install the washing machine in an area where there is a risk
of freezing conditions. Frozen hoses may burst or split, and the
reliability of the electronic control unit may be impaired at
temperatures below freezing point.
