CHILDREN
This dishwasher is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dishwasher by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
dishwasher.
Keep detergents out of reach. Only put them into the machine just before starting a wash.
•
Dishwasher water is not suitable for drinking.
•
Never allow children to play on or sit on the door when it is open.
•
Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic bags
•
should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating.
SAFETY
The dishwasher must be installed and connected in accordance with the manufacturer's
•
instructions.
Never place the dishwasher on a carpeted floor. Lack of airflow beneath the dishwasher
•
could cause overheating.
The dishwasher must only be used domestically and for the purposes for which it was
•
designed.
Do not leave the dishwasher exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
•
Never add chemical solvents or flammable liquids to the tank as they constitute a fire
•
hazard.
Only use detergents and water softeners specifically manufactured for use in dishwashers.
•
The door of the dishwasher has been designed to support the weight of a fully loaded lower
•
rack. Never place any other load on the door as the dishwasher may then tip forwards.
Should you at any time in the future scrap the dishwasher, cut the power cord and take
•
measures to render the door lock inoperative thereby preventing children, when playing,
getting trapped inside.
In case of malfunction or maintenance work, disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical
•
mains immediately.
ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
You can save water by observing these simple guidelines:
Remove bones and pips from dirty dishes.
•
Avoid partial loads and only start the dishwasher when it is fully loaded.
•
Only use the pre-wash programme for very dirty dishes.
•
Select the programme according to the dirt level of the load.
•
