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.
Safety with children
Do not let small children play with
the dishwasher and its controls or
operate it. There is a danger that child-
ren playing might shut themselves in
the dishwasher.
Keep children away from deter-
gents. Dishwasher detergents con-
tain irritant or corrosive ingredients.
They can cause burning in the mouth
and throat if swallowed, or inhibit brea-
thing. Consult a doctor immediately if
your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
To avoid the danger of children
coming into contact with the dish-
washer detergent:
Only add detergent just before starting
the programme and close the door, acti-
vating the child safety lock (depending
on model).
Keep children away from the dish-
washer when the door is open. There
could be detergent residues in the ap-
pliance.
To ensure children do not come
into contact with detergent:
For models with the “Delay start” option
make sure the dispenser is dry before
adding detergent. Wipe dry if necess-
ary. Detergent will clog if poured into a
damp dispenser and may not be thor-
oughly dispersed. If the door is open at
the end of a programme, children may
come into contact with this residue.
To avoid machine and material
damage
Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir
with powder or liquid detergent.
This will cause serious damage to the
reservoir.
Inadvertently filling the salt reser-
voir with powder or liquid dish-
washer detergent always leads to
serious damage to the water softener.
Do not use commercial or indus-
trial detergents as these may dam-
age material and there is a risk of
severe chemical reaction.
