Child Safety • Packaging materials (e.g. films, polystyrene) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. • Children frequently cannot recognise hazards involved in handling electrical appliances. Therefore, ensure that they are properly super- vised during operation and never allow children to play with the washing machine -there is a risk that they can lock themselves inside it. -
