However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the following safety notes. Child safety · Children are often not aware of how dangerous electrical appliances can be. When the machine is working, children should be carefully supervised and not be allowed to play with the appliance - there is a risk that they could become trapped inside. · The packaging components (e.g. plastic film, polystyrene) can be dangerous to children - danger of suffocation! Keep them out of children's reach. · Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children's reach. · Make sure that children or pets do not climb into the drum. · When the appliance is to be scrapped, cut off the electrical supply cable and destroy the plug with the remaining cable. Disable the door catch in order to prevent children from becoming trapped inside while playing. General safety · Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified personnel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious danger. Contact your local AEG Service Force Centre. · Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or the control panel or worktop are so damaged that inner components can be reached. · Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations. · Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the socket; always take hold of the plug itself. · Never spray the machine with a jet of water. Danger of electric shock! · During high temperature wash programmes and during the drying cycle the door glass may get hot. Do not touch it! · Let the water cool down before carrying out emergency emptying or before opening the door in an emergency. · Small animals can gnaw electric wires and water hoses causing electrocution hazard and damage due to water leaks. Proper use · This appliance is designed for domestic use only. If the machine is used for any other purposes or is not used correctly, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility for any damage that might occur. · For safety reasons, the appliance must not be modified. · Use only detergents suitable for washing machines and follow the manufacturer's instructions. · Garments which have been in contact with flammable solvents should not be machine washed. · Do not use your machine for dry cleaning. · Dyes and bleaching agents may only be used if specifically permitted by the manufacturer of these prod ...
