Instructions for use Child Safety • Packaging components (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be hazardous to children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. • Children often cannot recognise the hazards associated with handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure the necessary supervision during operation and do not allow children to play with the washing machine – there is a risk that children can get trapped inside.
Instructions for use • Allow the washing solution to cool before carrying out an emergency emptying operation or cleaning the drain pump. • Small animals can chew the power cables and water hoses.
