Should you ever need to move the dish-
washer, e.g. when moving house, note
the following:

– Empty the dishwasher,

– Secure any loose parts, e. g. hoses,

mains cable, cutlery baskets, lower
basket

– Transport the dishwasher in the up-

right position.
If unavoidable, it may be transported
on its back.
Do not transport it on its side or on
the door as residual water still in the
appliance will leak out of it.
This residual water could get into the
electronic unit and cause a fault.
