Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use


Do not use solvents in the dishwasher. Danger of explosion!

Do not inhale or ingest dishwasher detergent. Some dishwasher
detergents are strongly alkaline and contain irritants or corrosive
ingredients. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can
cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat, or inhibit breathing.
Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Seek medical advice
immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled, e.g. Poisons
Information Centre (Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).

Avoid leaving the door open unnecessarily as someone could trip
over it and be injured by it.

Do not sit or lean on the opened door. This could cause the
dishwasher to tip and be damaged, and you could get injured.

Dishes can be very hot at the end of a programme. Allow them to
cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before unloading.

Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic
dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid.

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may
cause damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive chemical
reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid
dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you
have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling
the salt reservoir!

Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation.
Do not use other salts such as cooking salt, agricultural grade or
gritting salt. These may contain insoluble additives which can impair
the functioning of the water softener.
