With the “Waterproof system” the
plastic housing of the water inlet
connection contains an electrical com-
ponent. The housing must therefore not
be dipped in water.
Never cut the water inlet hose,
even if it is too long. There are live
wires in this hose.
For safety reasons do not operate
this appliance on an extension
cable. (Danger of overheating).
Daily use
Do not use solvents in the dish-
washer. Danger of explosion.
Water in the dishwasher must not
be used as drinking water.
Avoid inhalation of powder deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They
can cause burning in the mouth and
throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing.
Consult a doctor immediately if detergent
has been swallowed or inhaled.
Do not sit or lean on the opened
door. This could cause the dish-
washer to tip and be damaged and you
could get injured.
In an appliance with a cutlery bas-
ket (depending on model) cutlery
is cleaned and dried more efficiently if
placed in the basket with the handles
downwards. However, to avoid the risk
of injury place cutlery with sharp points
with the handles upwards.
Only use detergents formulated for
domestic dishwashers. Do not use
washing-up liquid.
Only use rinse aid formulated for
domestic dishwashers.
Only use special coarse grained
dishwasher salt for reactivation, as
other salts may contain insoluble addi-
tives which can impair the functioning
of the softener.
Plastic items which cannot with-
stand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers,
or plastic cutlery and crockery should
not be cleaned in the dishwasher. The
high temperatures in the dishwasher
may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Take care on dishwashers with a
visible heater element
Do not touch the heating element
during or directly after the end of a
programme, you could burn yourself.
Some plastic items could melt or
catch fire if they were to come into
contact with the heating element. There-
fore always place plastic items or any
other items which may not be com-
pletely heat resistant in the upper bas-
ket and ensure they cannot drop down
onto the heater element. Any items
which are too small to be lodged se-
curely in the upper basket should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
