INSTRUCTIONS

1 Installation Safety Precautions

• Do not tip the washing machine on its front or left side (seen from

the front). Electrical components could become wet!

• Check the washing machine for transport damage. You should never

connect a damaged appliance. In the event of damage consult your

dealer.

• Ensure that all parts of the transport bracing have been removed and

that the appliance is water splash protected, see "Removing Transport

Bracing". Otherwise the appliance or neighbouring units may be

damaged during spinning.

• The plug may only be inserted into a properly installed earthed

socket. Extension cables, multiway plugs or adapters may not be used.

• In the case of permanent connection, means must be provided to

enable the appliance to be fully isolated from the mains through the

fitting of an isolation device in the electrical installation (fuse, circuit

breaker, earth leakage trip or the like) that has a contact separation

of at least 3 mm. Permanent connection may only be carried out by

an authorised electrician.

• Before using your appliance for the first time, please ensure that the

nominal voltage and type of current specified on the type plate are

the same as those used at the place where the appliance is installed.

Please also refer to the type plate for the type of fuse to be used.

• If the washing machine is built-in by removing the worktop, an

earthed cover plate must be installed for protection against touching

prior to using for the first time.

• If the washing machine is built under a worktop, the mains plug must

remain accessible once the machine has been correctly positioned.

• Prior to carrying out modifications on the appliance (on the worktop

or front door) pull out the mains plug.

• The mains lead may only be replaced by the customer service or by an

authorised electrician.
