SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
WARNING!
When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, includ-
ing the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dishwasher.
• Use the dishwasher only for its intended function.
• Use only detergents or wetting agents recommended for
use in a dishwasher and keep them out of the reach of
children.
• When loading items to be washed:
– locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage
the door seal, and
– load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk
of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they are marked “dishwash-
er safe” or the equivalent. For plastic items not so marked,
check the manufacturer’s recommendations.
• Do not operate the dishwasher unless all enclosure panels
are properly in place.
• Do not tamper with controls.
• Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of
the dishwasher.
• 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 the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
• Remove the door to the washing compartment when remov-
ing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
• Read the grounding instructions in the installation instruc-
tions.
General

• 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
TIP!
Dishwasher detergents and rinse aids are corrosive, so always
keep them out of reach of children.
• Should a child swallow dishwasher detergent or rinse aid,
give plenty to drink immediately, i.e., one or two glasses of
milk or water. Do not try to induce vomiting. Seek medical
advice immediately: Call the National Capital Poison Center
at 1-800-222-1222.
• Always close the door and start the dishwasher as soon as
you put in the detergent.
• Always keep small children away from the machine when it is
open. There may be some detergent residue left inside the
machine.
• If dishwasher detergent gets in someone’s eyes, rinse them
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Activate child lock (Kid Safe™)
You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children
from starting the dishwasher (see the section Settings).
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.
