:Warning
Danger of death!
There is a risk of electric shock if you
touch live components.
■ Never touch or hold the mains plug
with wet hands.
■ Only pull out the mains cable by the
plug and never by the cable, as this
could damage it.
■ Never unplug the mains plug during
operation.
Observe the following information and
ensure that:
Notes
■ The mains voltage and voltage
indicated on the washing machine
(rating plate) are the same.
The connected load and fuse
required are specified on the rating
plate.
■ The washing machine is only
connected to an alternating current
supply via a properly installed
earthed socket.
■ The mains plug fits the socket.
■ The cable cross-section is adequate.
■ The earthing system is properly
installed.
■ The mains cable is only replaced by
a qualified electrician (if this is
necessary). Replacement mains
cables are available from customer
services.
■ No multiple plugs/couplings or
extension cables are used.
■ If an earth-leakage circuit breaker is
used, only a type which displays the
z symbol is used.
Only this symbol guarantees
compliance with the currently
applicable regulations.
■ The mains plug can be accessed at
all times.
■ The mains cable is not kinked,
squashed, altered or cut through.
■ The mains cable does not come into
contact with heat sources.
Before washing for the first
time
The washing machine was thoroughly
tested before leaving the factory. In
order to remove any water which may
be left over from the test, run the first
washing cycle without any laundry.
Notes
■ The washing machine must be
correctly installed and connected.
(from ~ Page 36).
