2.1 Safe installation
ATTENTION!
Improper installation of the appliance
may cause damage.
If the dishwasher is installed above
▶
or below other domestic appli-
ances, follow the information on in-
stallation in combination with a
dishwasher in the installation in-
structions for the individual appli-
ances.
If there is no information or if the
▶
installation instructions do not in-
clude the relevant information, con-
tact the manufacturer of these ap-
pliances to check that the dish-
washer can be installed above or
below these appliances.
If no information is available from
▶
the manufacturer, the dishwasher
should not be installed above or
below such appliances.
To ensure the safe operation of all
▶
domestic appliances, continue fol-
lowing the installation instructions
for the dishwasher.
Only install the dishwasher below
▶
a hob after taking into considera-
tion the specified safety clear-
ances.
Do not install the dishwasher near
▶
heat sources, e.g. radiators, heat
storage tanks, ovens or other ap-
pliances that generate heat.
Modified or damaged water hoses
may result in material damage and
damage to the appliance.
Never kink, crush, modify or cut
▶
through water hoses.
Only use the water hoses supplied
▶
with the appliance or genuine
spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that
▶
have been used before.
If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be
able to operate properly.
Make sure that the water pressure
▶
in the water supply system is min.
50 kPa (0.5 bar) and max.
1000 kPa (10 bar).
If the water pressure exceeds the
▶
maximum value specified, a pres-
sure-reducing valve must be in-
stalled between the drinking water
connection and the hose set of the
appliance.
2.2 Safe use
ATTENTION!
Escaping water vapour can damage
fitted units.
When the programme ends, leave
▶
the appliance to cool down for a
while before opening the door.
Special salt for dishwashers can
damage the tub due to corrosion.
To make sure that any special salt
▶
that escapes is washed out of the
tub, add the special salt to the dis-
penser for special salt immediately
before the programme starts.
Detergent may damage the water
softening system.
Only fill the dispenser of the water
▶
softening system with special dish-
washer salt.
Unsuitable cleaning agents may dam-
age the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
▶
So as not to scratch the finish on
▶
the appliance, do not use sponges
with a rough surface or abrasive
cleaning agents.
To prevent corrosion, do not use
▶
sponge cloths on dishwashers with
a stainless steel front or rinse such
cloths thoroughly several times be-
fore using them for the first time.
