Warning and Safety instructions
Plastic items which cannot withstand
being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic
cutlery and crockery should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high
temperatures in the dishwasher may
cause them to melt or lose shape.
Take care on dishwashers with a
visible heater element
(depending on model)
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme. It will be hot. Danger of
burning!
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element.
Therefore always place plastic items or
any other items which may not be
completely heat resistant in the upper
basket and ensure they cannot drop
down onto the heater element.
Any items which are too small to be
lodged securely in the upper basket
should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Safety with children
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play on or near it, or to play
with the controls. There is a danger that
children could shut themselves in the
dishwasher. Supervise its use by the
elderly or infirm.

Keep children away from
detergents. Dishwasher detergents
contain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth,
nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate-
ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the
dishwasher detergent: only add
detergent just before starting the
programme and close the door,
activating the child safety lock
(depending on model).
Keep children away from the
dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues
in the cabinet.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent on
models with the "Delay start" function
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if
necessary. Detergent will clog if poured
into a damp dispenser and may not be
thoroughly dispersed. If the door is
open at the end of a programme,
children may come into contact with
this residue.
