to the machine or its controls.
This machine is not a toy! To avoid the
risk of injury never allow children to play
on or near the machine, or to operate it.
~
Take care when handling chemical
agents such as cleaning agent,
neutralising agent, rinsing agent etc.
These may contain irritant or corrosive
ingredients. Do not use organic
solvents as these could cause an
explosion.

These cleaning agents can cause
burning in the mouth and throat if
swallowed and can inhibit breathing.

The water in the machine must not
be used as drinking water.

Do not sit or lean on the opened

Be careful when sorting items with
sharp pointed ends and positioning
them in the machine that you do not
hurt yourself or create a danger for
