Operating the appliance

Placing laundry into the drum

:

Warning

Danger of death!

Items of laundry pretreated with cleaning agents that contain solvents, e.g. stain remover/cleaning solvent, may cause an explosion after being loaded into the washing machine.

Hand-rinse items of laundry thoroughly beforehand.

Notes

Mix items of laundry of varying sizes.

Laundry items of different sizes distribute themselves better during the spin cycle. Individual items of laundry may lead to imbalances.

Observe the specified maximum load. Overfilling has a negative impact on the washing result and promotes creasing.

1.

Place presorted items of laundry unfolded in the washing drum.

2.

Make sure that no items of laundry are trapped between the washing machine door and the rubber seal, and close the door.

The

button indicator lamp flashes to indicate that the washing program can be started. It is possible to change the

settings.

Improper connection of the ground may result in electric shock. Have the appliance checked by a qualified technician or licensed electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the washing machine has been properly grounded.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current. This appliance is equipped with a cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances. To ground the appliance use a 3 pin plug and properly grounded socket of 16 A rating.

Notes

Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If the plug will not fit into outlet have a properly grounded outlet installed by qualified electrician. Do not cut, remove or
