washed in this dishwasher.

Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst 
the appliance is in operation, especially during the washing 
phase, hot water may escape. However, if the door is 
opened, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

designed for use in dishwashers.

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a 
potential hazard.

must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket.

When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an 
open door can be a hazard.

water supply after use.
