•
Use only detergents or rinse
aids recommended for use in a
household dishwasher and keep
them in a dry place out of the
reach of children. Check that the
detergent dispenser is empty
after the completion of each wash
program.
•
Dishwasher detergents are
alkaline. They can be dangerous
if inhaled or swallowed. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes and
keep children and infirm persons
away from the dishwasher when
the door is opened. Consult a
doctor immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
•
Do not drink water from the
dishwasher! Harmful residues
could be present.
•
Under certain conditions hydrogen
gas may be produced in a hot
water heater 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 period, before using
the dishwasher turn on all hot
water taps and let the water flow
from each for several minutes.
This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. As gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use
an open flame during this time.
•
Do not store or use flammable
liquids or vapors in the area of the
dishwasher.
•
When loading items to be washed,
position 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 “dishwasher
safe” or the equivalent. For plastic
items not so marked, check the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
•
If a malfunction occurs, switch
off the appliance and turn off the
water supply to the dishwasher.
•
Please do not attempt to carry the
dishwasher by yourself in order
to avoid potential injuries. Two or
more people are needed to move
a dishwasher.
•
Before cleaning or carrying out
maintenance, switch off the
appliance, disconnect the power
plug and turn off the water supply.
•
Repairs and technical
modifications must be carried
out exclusively by a qualified
technician.
•
If the dishwasher is not in use for
an extended period of time (i.e.
vacation home), we recommend
you check that the baskets are
empty, leave the inside of the
dishwasher clean, leave the
door cracked open to allow air
to circulate and turn off both the
power and water supply to the
dishwasher.
•
This appliance must be grounded.
In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will
reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord
having an equipment-grounding
conductor and a grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is installed
and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
•
Potential hazards exist if any
equipment uses electricity, water
and moving parts.
•
This appliance must be connected
to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system, or an equipment-
grounding conductor must be
