Safety instructions
The safety of AEG/ELECTROLUX appliances complies with the industry
standards and with legal requirements on the safety of appliances.
However, as manufacturers, we feel it is our duty to provide the fol-
lowing safety notes.
General safety
• Repairs to the machine must be carried out only by qualified person-
nel. Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons could cause serious
danger. Contact your local AEG/ELECTROLUX Service Force Centre.
• Never start the machine if the electrical supply cable is damaged or
the control panel is so damaged that inner components can be
reached.
• Unplug the appliance before carrying out any cleaning or mainte-
nance operations.
• Never pull the power supply cable to remove the plug from the sock-
et; 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 elec-
trocution hazard and damage due to water leaks.
Positioning, connection, starting up
• Follow the instructions for positioning and connection.
• Carry out a first wash without laundry (COTTONS 90, with half the
amount of detergent) in order to remove any manufacturing residue
from the tub and the drum.
• Should the machine be purchased in winter, when temperatures can
be below 0°, leave the appliance for 24 hours at ambient temperature
before starting it.
