IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
12
Do not sit, stand, or lean on the opened door. The dishwasher
could tip over. This could injure you or damage the dishwasher.
Dishes may be very hot at the end of the program. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable enough to handle before
unloading them.
Only use detergent and rinse aid formulated for domestic dish-
washers. Do not use liquid dish soap.
Do not use any commercial or industrial detergents. These may
cause material damage, and there is a risk of a severe explosive
chemical reaction (such as an explosive oxyhydrogen gas reaction).
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause damage to the rinse aid reservoir.
Do not fill the AutoDos (depending on model) with powder or liq-
uid detergent. Loose detergent will damage the AutoDos.
In dishwashers with a cutlery basket (depending on model), knives
and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket
for safety reasons. Knives and forks placed with the handles down-
wards pose a danger of injury. However, cutlery placed handle down
in the cutlery basket will come out cleaner and drier.
Plastic items which cannot withstand being washed in hot water,
such as disposable plastic containers or plastic cutlery, should not
be cleaned in the dishwasher. The high temperatures in the dish-
washer may cause them to melt or lose shape.
If you use the timer option (depending on model), the detergent
compartment must be dry. Wipe dry with a cloth first if necessary.
The detergent will clump together if the detergent compartment is
not dry, and this may mean that it is not fully rinsed out.
