Safety information

Read through these instructions carefully, taking note
of all directions, advice and warnings before installing
the dishwasher and using it. To avoid unnecessary
mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all
persons using the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar
with its operation and safety features.
Save these instructions. The dishwasher is built to
wash your dishes for many years ahead and both
you and any future owners can always find useful
information in these pages.
• Remember that the plastic bags included in the
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.
• This dishwasher is designed solely for washing
household utensils suitable for machine washing.
Using it for other purposes could lead to physical
injury or damage to property.
• The dishwasher should be used by adults only.
Do not let children play with the controls or other
parts of it.
• Installation must be carried out by persons with
the necessary knowledge and experience of water
and drainage connections in accordance with the
instructions in these directions for use and instal-
lation.
• Water connection shall be made via an easily
accessible stopcock.
• The power cord must be plugged into an earthed
socket. Permanent installation must only be carried
out by an authorised electrician.
• Before performing any checks or repairs on the
machine it must be isolated from the electrical supply.
To do this the power plug must be removed from
the wall socket.
• Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
• Our approved build-in kit must be used if the dish-
washer is to be built into the kitchen furnishings.
• Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or
otherwise damaged when moving the dishwasher
in connection with installation or cleaning etc.
• Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them along the dish rack.
• Do not open the door while the dishwasher is running.
• If you take any dishes out of the machine before
the end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely
important to rinse them thoroughly under running
water to remove any remaining detergent.
In the event of flooding or leakage:
• Shut off the water supply immediately by closing
the stopcock and disconnect the power supply by
unplugging the power cord or removing the fuse.
• Check that all seals, seams and connections are
watertight.
• Call an authorised repairman.
There is always a certain risk of leakages in any
machine connected to a water supply, no matter
what water safety features it may have. Therefore
it is advisable always to turn off the water supply
tap when the machine is not in use.
• Service and repairs should only be performed by
service companies or repairmen approved and
authorised by us. Use only spare parts supplied
by them.
Dishwasher detergent should be handled with
care! If someone swallows dishwasher deter-
gent, make him or her drink several glasses of
milk or water immediately. Do not induce vomi-
ting. Seek medical advice. If someone gets
dishwasher detergent in their eyes, bathe
immediately in plenty of water. Seek medical
advice. Make sure that children never come
into contact with the dishwasher detergent.
Keep it in a safe place, wipe away any spillage
at once and never leave the door open with
detergent in the machine.
