Before washing for the first time
Risk of electric shock
– Never pull the cable to disconnect the mains plug
– Only insert/pull out the mains plug with dry hands.
Danger to life
For appliances that have reached the end of their service life:
Do not put any laundry in the machine. Turn the tap on. Pour into compartment II:
– approx. 1 litre water
– detergent (dosage according to the manufacturer's instructions for light soiling and according to water hardness)
Set programme selector to Easy-Care 60 °C and press $ Start/Reload. At the end of the programme, turn the
programme selector to Off.
Protecting the laundry and the machine
– Disconnect the mains plug.
– Sever the mains cable and discard along with the plug.

locking themselves in and risking their lives.
Danger of suffocation
– Keep packaging, film and packaging parts out of the reach of children.
Risk of poisoning
– Keep detergents and care products out of the reach of children.
Risk of explosion
– Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents containing solvents, e.g. stain
remover/cleaning solvent may cause an explosion after being loaded into the
washing machine.
Rinse items of laundry thoroughly by hand beforehand.
