Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children

Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.

Older children may only use the dishwasher if its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely.
They must be able to understand and recognise the possible
dangers of misuse.

Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.

Children should be supervised in the vicinity of the dishwasher.
Keep small children away from the appliance at all times to avoid the
risk of injury. Ensure that they do not play with the appliance. There
is a risk that children may lock themselves in the dishwasher.

If the automatic door opening mechanism is active (depending on
the model), keep young children away from the area in which the
door opens. There is a danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault
with the opening mechanism.

Danger of suffocation! While playing, children may become
entangled in packaging material (such as plastic wrapping) or pull it
over their head with the risk of suffocation. Keep packaging material
away from children.

Keep detergents and other household cleaning agents out of
reach of children. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline
and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause severe skin burns
and eye damage. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and
throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or dispenser.
Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of a
programme. Seek medical advice immediately if a child has
swallowed or inhaled any detergent. Contact a Poisons Information
Centre (Australia) or the National Poisons Centre (NZ).
