General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• CAUTION! Do not connect the appliance to the power supply using a power adaptor
or extension cord. Use of an extension cord does not guarantee the required safety.
• After use: Always unplug the appliance and turn off the water after use.
• Disconnect: Unplug the washing machine from the power supply before cleaning,
servicing, maintenance or moving the appliance. Pull by the plug, not by the cord.
• Keep openings clear: Do not insert any objects into ventilation or similar openings.
• No timer: The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external
timer or separate remote control system.
• RCD: Unless your home is already fitted with a residual current device (safety
switch), we recommend installing an RCD with a rated residual operating current
not exceeding 30mA to provide additional safety protection when using electrical
appliances. See your electrician for professional advice.
