Child Safety; Risk Of Child Entrapment - IKEA VILLKORLIG Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
EN
marked: "Dishwasher Safe" or
equivalent. Check with manufacturer
for recommendations, if not
marked. Items that are not marked
dishwasher safe may melt and
create a potential fire hazard.
• When loading items to be washed:
– Locate sharp items and knives so
that they are not likely to damage
the door seal or tub.
– Load sharp items and knives with the
handles up to reduce the risk of cut-
type injuries.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Use care unloading the dishware
when the SANITIZE option has been
selected. Contents may be hot to
the touch immediately after the end
of cycle.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot water
system that has not been used for
2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS
IS EXPLOSIVE. If hot water system
has not been used for such a period,
before using dishwasher, turn on
all hot water faucets and let water
flow from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. HYDROGEN GAS IS
FLAMMABLE. Do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
• Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Disconnect electrical power to
dishwasher before servicing.
• Repairs should be done by a
qualified technician.

Child safety

• This appliance 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 use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Close supervision of children is
necessary when the appliance is
used near children. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all
appliances.
• DO NOT allow children to play in or
on the dishwasher
• DO NOT allow children to abuse, sit,
stand or play on door or racks of a
dishwasher.
• Destroy the carton, plastic bag and
other packing materials after the
appliance is unpacked. Children
might use them for play. Cartons
covered with rugs, bedspreads or
plastic sheets can become airtight
chambers.
• Keep dishwasher products out of
children's reach. To prevent personal
injury, observe all warnings on
product labels.
• To avoid entrapment and/
or suffocation, remove door or
door latch mechanism from any
dishwasher that is discarded or not
in use.
• Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in serious personal
injuries.

Risk of child entrapment

Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for "just a few
days". If you are getting rid of your old
appliance, please follow the instructions
below to help prevent accidents.
We strongly encourage responsible
appliance recycling/disposal methods.
Contact your State/Provence Energy
Office, Local Electric and Water Utilities
or Conservation Program Office or visit
www.energystar.gov/recycle for more
information on recycling your old washer
or dryer.
Before you throw away your old
appliance:
• Remove doors or door latch.
• Remove the electric power cord
• Secure all hoses and drain pipes to
prevent water from leaking out and
creating a slip hazard.
