IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Proper use
~
The dishwasher is designed only for
operation with water and the
appropriate cleaning agents. Organic
solvents must not be used in the
machine. An explosion or machine
corrosion could occur with the use of
organic solvents.
Follow the instructions and relevant
safety procedures carefully.
~
Only use standard household
mechanical dishwasher detergents in
this unit. Keep all cleaning agents out
of the reach of children. Use of
unsuitable cleaning agents could
adversely affect the components of the
machine.
~
To avoid corrosion damage ensure
that solutions or steam containing
hydrochloric acid do not come into
contact with the steel outer casing of
the machine.
~
BURN AND SCALD HAZARD
This dishwasher reaches very high
temperatures. Take care when
unloading the unit. Let baskets and
inserts cool before touching them. Any
water which may remain in containers
will be very hot and should be emptied
into the wash cabinet.

~
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 such a period, turn
on all hot water faucets and let water
flow from each for several minutes
before using the dishwasher. This will
release any accumulated hydrogen
gas. Do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
~
The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.
~
Pre-treatments with detergents can
create suds, as can certain rinsing
agents. For pre-treatment and / or
cleaning only, use low-sudsing
detergents. Suds can have an adverse
effect on the cleaning process.
~
Suds escaping from the wash
cabinet can damage the appliance. If
any suds are escaping, cancel the
program immediately!
~
Always follow the instructions of the
chemical manufacturer when using
detergents and special application
chemicals. Only use such chemicals for
the purpose and in the situation
specified to avoid such dangers as
chemical reactions and material
damage.
~
Do not sit or lean on the open door.
This could cause the machine to be
damaged.
~
Do not leave the dishwasher door
open when the machine is not in use.
You could hurt yourself on the open
door.
