electrical appliances
WARNING
Risk of electric shock!
Touching live parts may result in severe
injury or death.
■ Only use the appliance indoors.
■ Never use the appliance in a damp or
wet environment.
■ Do not operate or continue to oper-
ate the appliance, if it
– shows visible signs of damage, e.g.
the power cord is defective.
– starts smoking or there is a smell
of burning.
– makes unfamiliar noises.
In these cases, remove the mains
plug from the socket or isolate/un-
screw the fuse and contact our Ser-
vice department.
■ The appliance corresponds to protec-
tion class I and may only be connect-
ed to a plug with a protective conduc-
tor that has been properly installed.
When connecting the appliance,
make sure that the voltage is correct.
More detailed information about this
can be found on the nameplate.
■ If the mains plug is no longer acces-
sible after installation, an all-pole dis-
connecting device complying with
overvoltage category III must be
connected to the house wiring with a
contact gap of at least 3 mm; consult
a qualifi ed professional if necessary
(see the chapter on 'Service').
■ The appliance must only be connect-
ed to the mains after completion of
all installation and assembly work.
Safety
■ Do not put any objects in or through
the housing openings, the appli-
ance's lid or the washing drum, and
also make sure that children cannot
insert any objects through them.
■ Keep the appliance, the mains plug
and the mains cord away from open
fl ames and hot surfaces.
■ Do not kink or pinch the mains cord
or lay it over sharp edges. This can re-
sult in a break in the cable.
■ Never pull the mains plug out of the
socket by the mains cord; always hold
the mains plug itself.
■ Never touch the mains plug with wet
hands.
■ Never immerse the mains cord or mains
plug in water or any other liquids.
■ In the event of a fault, as well as be-
fore cleaning and maintenance, un-
plug the mains plug or isolate/un-
screw the fuse.
■ Never clean the appliance with a
high-pressure cleaner or steam clean-
er. Steam could reach live compo-
nents through cracks.
■ This appliance contains electrical and
mechanical parts which are essential
for protection against potential sourc-
es of danger. Only parts correspond-
ing to the original appliance specifi -
cations may be used for repairs.
■ Investigations and repairs to the ap-
pliance may only be carried out by
authorised specialists, such as our
Service department.
■ Independent repairs made to the ap-
pliance may cause damage to prop-
erty and personal injury and void lia-
bility and warranty claims. Never try
to repair a defective or suspected de-
fective appliance yourself.
