Operating Instructions Operating Instructions 1 Safety The safety aspects of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. However, as manufacturers we regard it as our responsibility to inform you about the following safety instructions. Before Using for the First Time • Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" further on in this user information.
Operating Instructions Child Safety • Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. • Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly supervised during operation and never allow children to play with the washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.
Operating Instructions 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material! Dispose of the packaging of your washing machine correctly. All pakkaging materials used are environmentally-compatible and recyclable. • Plastic parts are identified with internationally standardised abbreviations: >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. packing films. >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. cushion parts (always CFC-free) >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips.
