Safety of Children and Infirm Persons

• Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for

children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

• The appliance is not intendet for use by young children or infirm per-

sons without supervision.

• Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling

electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super-

vised during operation and never allow children to play with the

washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it.

• Ensure that children or small animals do not climb into the washing

machine's drum.

• When disposing of washing machines pull out the mains plug, destroy

the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and dispose of the

plug and remaining cable. This means that playing children cannot

shut themselves in and cannot encounter a potentially lethal hazard.

ply and shut off the tap.
