Safety
Risks when dealing with
dishwashers
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Knives and other pointed or sharp-
edged objects can cause injuries.
■
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
■
Load the appliance in such a way
that no objects which may cause in-
jury fall out of the dish racks when
the appliance is next opened and the
dish racks are removed.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Solvents can create an explosive mix-
ture.
■
Never put solvents into the appliance.
■
Do not place flammable products or
objects wetted with flammable prod-
ucts into or near to the appliance.
Risk of poisoning!
Dishwasher detergents, rinse aid and
dishwasher salt can be damaging to
the health.
■
Keep these products out of the reach
of children and pets.
■
Never use the water inside the appli-
ance as drinking water.
Risk of injury!
The appliance is heavy and bulky. Im-
proper handling of the appliance may
lead to injuries.
■
Seek the help of another person dur-
ing transport, installation and assem-
bly.
■
Remove all obstacles on the transport
route and from the installation loca-
tion, e.g. open doors and clear away
objects lying on the floor.
■
Do not use the open appliance door
as a step, seat or for support. Make
sure that children and pets do not
stand or sit on the open appliance
door.
Risk of scalding!
The hot washing-up water will cause
the dishes and the interior of the appli-
ance to heat up and hot steam is emit-
ted. Touching them can therefore cause
scalding.
■
Only hold the appliance door by the
handle when opening the appliance
door. Maintain a safe distance from
the appliance in order to avoid steam
which may escape.
■
Do not touch the dishes, cutlery or the
inside of the appliance immediate-
ly after the dishwashing programme
has finished.
Fire hazard!
Insufficient ventilation can cause fires.
■
If your appliance has ventilation
grids, never cover them.
■
Do not set up the appliance on car-
pets or rugs if it has ventilation grids
in the lower section.
