REFERENCE
WARNING!
This manual does not cover all possible conditions
and situations that may occur. Common sense and
caution should always be used when installing,
operating, and maintaining any appliance.
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Dishwashers must be electrically grounded. Read
the Installation Instructions for details.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended purpose.
• Do not run the dishwasher while you are out of the
home.
• Use only automatic dishwasher detergents and
rinse agents.
• To reduce the risk of injury, keep detergents and
rinse aids out of the reach of children.
• Do not load sharp items near the door; you could
damage the door seal.
• Place sharp knives in the cutlery basket with the
sharp ends down to avoid the risk of cut-type
injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked
"dishwasher safe" or the equivalent. For items not
marked, check the manufacturer's
recommendations. Items not dishwasher safe
could become deformed or melt and create a
potential fire hazard.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure
panels are properly in place (i.e., guard plate,
access panel, toe kick, etc.).
• Do not tamper with controls by removing or
changing.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the dishwasher
door or baskets.
• To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children
to play in or on a dishwasher.
• Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be
produced in a hot water 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 two weeks, before using the
dishwasher turn on all hot water faucets and let
the water flow from each for several minutes. This
will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As
4
the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• When removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it, remove the door to the washing
compartment.
• 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.
• Read the grounding instructions in the installation
instructions.

Winter storage/Transport

• Store the dishwasher where the temperature
remains above freezing.
• Avoid long transport distances in very cold
weather.
• Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its
back.

Overflow guard function

The overflow protection starts pumping out the
machine and turns off the water supply if the water
level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If
the overflow protection is triggered, turn off the water
supply and call the Customer Care Center.

Care and maintenance instructions

When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a
slightly damp cloth. Do not spray water around the
edge! Moisture can make its way into the lock, which
contains electrical components.

Packing material

Please sort waste materials in accordance with local
guidelines.

Disposal

• When the machine has reached the end of its
service life and is to be disposed of, it should
immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power
cable and cut it as short as possible.
• The dishwasher is manufactured and labeled for
recycling.
• Contact your municipality for information about
where and how your dishwasher can be recycled
correctly.
