However, as manufacturers, we still regard it as our responsibility to inform you of the following safety information. Before Putting into Operation for the First Time · Refer to the "Installation and Connection Instructions" later in this user information. · When the unit is delivered in winter months with minus temperatures: Store the washing machine for 24 hours at room temperature before putting it into operation. Correct Use · The washing machine is only designed for normal domestic washing. If the unit is used for purposes other than that for which it is designed, the manufacturer can accept no liability for any resulting damages. · For safety reasons, conversions or modifications to the washing machine are not permissible. · Use only detergents which are suitable for washing machines. Follow the washing detergent manufacturer's instructions. · The washing must not contain any flammable solvents. Also remember this when washing pre-cleaned washing. · Do not use the washing machine for chemical cleaning. · Dyes/dye removers may only be used in washing machines if the manufacturer expressly allows these products. We cannot be held liable for any resulting damage. · Use only water from the water mains. Use rainwater or service water only if it meets the requirements outlined in DIN1986 and DIN1988. · Frost damage is not covered by the warranty! If the washing machine is in a room which is at risk from frost, an emergency emptying operation must be carried out when there is a frost risk (see the section "Carry Out Emergency Emptying"). 6 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. · Ensure that children or small animals cannot climb into the washing machine's drum. · When disposing of the washing machine: Pull out the mains plug, destroy the door lock, cut off the electrical supply lead and throw away the plug and the left-over cable. This means that children at play cannot shut themselves inside and in so doing be in danger. General Safety · Repairs to the washing machine may only be carried out by qualified specialists. Incorrect repairs may result in significant risk to the user. If repairs are necessary, consult our customer service or your specialist dealer. · Never use the washing machine if the mains cable is damaged or the conrol panel, work surface or base panel area are so badly damaged that the interior of the unit is openly accessible. · Switch off the washing machine before carrying out cleaning, care and maintenance work. Also pull the mains plug out of the socket or, ­ if it is permanently connected, ­ switch off the circuit breaker at the household power distribution box or completely remove the screw-in fuse. · Never pull the cable to remove the plug from the socket. Always pull the plug itself. · Multiple connectors, couplings and extension cables must not be used. There is a risk of fire with overheating! · Do not spray down the washing machine with a water jet. Risk of electric shock! · The glass in the door becomes hot in the case of wash programmes with high temperatures. Do not touch! · 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. Risk of electric shock and danger of water damage! Keep small animals awa ...
