Plastic items which cannot withstand
being washed in hot water, such as
disposable plastic containers, or plastic
cutlery and crockery should not be
cleaned in the dishwasher. The high tem-
peratures in the dishwasher may cause
them to melt or lose shape.
(depending on model)
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme. It will be hot. Danger of
burning!
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element.
Therefore always place plastic items or
any other items which may not be com-
pletely heat resistant in the upper bas-
ket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element.
Any items which are too small to be
lodged securely in the upper basket
should not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
This appliance is not a toy! To
avoid the risk of injury, do not allow
children to play on or near it, or to play
with the controls. There is a danger that
children could shut themselves in the
dishwasher. Supervise its use by the el-
derly or infirm.

Keep children away from deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth,
nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Consult a doctor immediate-
ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish-
washer detergent: only add detergent
just before starting the programme and
close the door, activating the child
safety lock (depending on model).
Keep children away from the dish-
washer when the door is open. There
could still be detergent residues in the
cabinet.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent on
models with the "Delay start" function
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if neces-
sary. Detergent will clog if poured into a
damp dispenser and may not be thor-
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.
