Store detergent and rinse aid out of the reach of children! If
anyone swallows dishwasher detergent, they should
immediately drink one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not
attempt to induce vomiting. Contact a doctor! If anyone gets
dishwasher detergent in their eyes, rinse (for at least 15
minutes) with plenty of water.

(only certain models)
A child safety lock is fitted to prevent children from opening the
dishwasher door. To activate the child safety lock, press in the
door latch and use a screwdriver to turn the screw slot (top
left-hand corner) to a vertical position. To open the door, you

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 service department.
Cleaning
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 dishwasher 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 labelled for recycling.
• Contact your local authority for information about where and
how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.
