AGA marvel AELTTDW Operation And Maintenance Instructions page 4

When using the dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following.
Read all instructions before using the dishwasher! Save these operating instructions and pass
them on to any future user.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose as described in this user manual. This appliance is
intended for normal household use only.
• The manufacturer disclaims responsibility for damage or injury caused by improper use of this appliance.
• The information in this user manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion and to pre-
vent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
• DO NOT operate your dishwasher unless all the enclosure panels are properly in place.
• DO NOT tamper with the controls.
• DO NOT abuse, sit on, stand in or on the door or dish rack of the dishwasher.
• The cup racks are designed to support cups, glasses, and kitchen utensils. When the cup racks are in the
dishwasher, do not lean on or use the cup racks to support your body weight.
• To reduce the risk of injury, DO NOT allow children to play in, on, or near the dishwasher.
• Use only detergents or rinse agents recommended for use in a household dishwasher and keep them in a
dry place out of the reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of
each wash program.
• Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if inhaled or swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes and keep children and people in poor health away from the dishwasher when the door is
opened. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled.
• DO NOT drink water from the dishwasher! Harmful residues could be present.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater system that has not been
used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been
used for such a period, before using the dishwasher turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• DO NOT store or use flammable liquids or vapors in the area of the dishwasher.
• When loading items to be washed, position sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the door seal
and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• DO NOT wash plastic items unless they are marked "dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For plastic items
not so marked, check the manufacturer's recommendations.
• If a malfunction occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher.
• Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the power plug, and turn
off the water supply.
• Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.
• If the dishwasher is not in use for an extended period of time (i.e. vacation home), we recommend you
check that the baskets are empty, leave the inside of the dishwasher clean, leave the door cracked open
to allow air to circulate, and turn off both the power and water supply to the dishwasher.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding will reduce the
risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This appliance is equipped
with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged
into an appropriate outlet that is installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system, or an equip-
ment-grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equip-
ment-grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
• The dishwasher installation must be performed in accordance with the installation guide. If you did not
receive an installation guide, order it by calling 1-800-223-3900 or you may also download it from our
website www.agamarvel.com
• Installation, maintenance, and repair should be performed by a qualified installer. Work by unqualified
persons could be dangerous and may void the warranty.
• DO NOT operate the dishwasher if damaged, malfunctioning, partially disassembled, or if it has missing or
broken parts.
• Before installation or service, disconnect the power supply to the work area by unplugging the unit, "trip-
ping" the circuit breaker, or removing the fuse.
