CHILDREN 

This dishwasher is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, 
sensory  or  mental  capabilities  or  lack  of  experience  and  knowledge  unless  they  have  been 
given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the dishwasher by a person responsible 
for  their  safety.  Children  should  be  supervised  to  ensure  that  they  do  not  play  with  the 
dishwasher.  

• 

Keep detergents out of reach. Only put them into the machine just before starting a wash. 

• 

Dishwasher water is not suitable for drinking.  

• 

Never allow children to play on or sit on the door when it is open. 

• 

Please ensure that packaging material is disposed of in a responsible manner. Plastic bags  
should be cut up to prevent children playing with them and accidentally suffocating. 

 

SAFETY  

• 

The  dishwasher  must  be  installed  and  connected  in  accordance  with  the  manufacturer’s 
instructions. 

• 

Never  place  the  dishwasher  on  a  carpeted  floor.  Lack  of  airflow  beneath  the  dishwasher 
could cause overheating. 

• 

The  dishwasher  must  only  be  used    domestically  and  for    the  purposes  for  which  it  was 
designed. 

• 

Do not leave the dishwasher exposed to direct sunlight or rain. 

• 

Never  add  chemical  solvents  or  flammable  liquids  to  the  tank  as  they  constitute  a  fire 
hazard. 

• 

Only use detergents and water softeners specifically manufactured for use in dishwashers. 

• 

The door of the dishwasher has been designed to support the weight of a fully loaded lower 
rack. Never place any other load on the door as the dishwasher may then tip forwards. 

• 

Should  you  at  any  time  in  the  future  scrap  the  dishwasher,  cut  the  power  cord  and  take 
measures  to  render  the  door  lock  inoperative  thereby  preventing  children,  when  playing, 
getting trapped inside. 

• 

In case of malfunction or maintenance work, disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical 
mains immediately. 

 

ENVIRONMENTAL CARE 

You can save water by observing these simple guidelines: 

• 

Remove bones and pips from dirty dishes. 

• 

Avoid partial loads and only start the dishwasher when it is fully loaded. 

• 

Only use the pre-wash programme for very dirty dishes. 

• 

Select the programme according to the dirt level of the load.
