0 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In order to reduce the risk of electrical shocks or injury when using the appliance, the basic
precautions should be observed, including the following:
READ all the instructions prior to using the appliance and KEEP THEM in an easily accessible
place for reference in the event of doubt.
Do NOT wash clothes which have been previously treated, washed, soaked or stained with
petrol, dry cleaning solvents, or other inflammable or explosive substances, as these give off
vapours which may catch fire or explode.
Do NOT add petrol, dry cleaning solvents or other inflammable substances to the washing water.
These substances give off vapours which could catch fire or explode.
In some conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system which has not been
used for more than two weeks. Hydrogen gas is explosive. If the hot water system has not been
used for a while, before using the washing machine turn on all the hot water taps and let the
water run for a few minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is
inflammable, do not smoke or use naked flames during this operation.

in the vicinity of a machine which is operating.
Remove the door from the appliance before disposal or before leaving it out of service.
