Safety instructions

 

_7

The integrated waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the following 

conditions are met:

• 

The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.

• 

The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is 

necessary.

• 

The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g. 

during holidays).

• 

The waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must 

remain connected to the electricity supply.

A damaged appliance can be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains 

and call your dealer or the service department.

Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer 

cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved service technician.

Faulty components must only be replaced by original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can 

the safety of the appliance can be guaranteed.

Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at the 

wall socket and remove the plug).

If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a special cable, available from the 

manufacturer. For safety reasons, this must only be fitted by the service department or an authorised 

service technician.

In countries where there are areas which may be subject to infestation by cockroaches or other 

vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all 

times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the 

guarantee.

In the event of a fault or for cleaning purposes, the appliance is only completely isolated from the 

electiricity supply when:

• 

it is switched off at the wall socket and the plug is withdrawn, or

• 

it is switched off at the mains, or

• 

the mains fuse is disconnected, or

• 

the screw-out fuse is removed (in countries where this is applicable).

Do not make any alterations to the appliance, unless authorised to do so by the manufacturer.

Never open the casing/housing of the appliance. 

Tempering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous and 

can cause operational faults or electric shock.

While the appliance is under guarantee, repairs should only be undertaken by a service technician 

authorised by the manufacturer. Otherwise the guarantee will be invalidated.

When installing the product, make sure there is space at the top, left, right and back of the product to 

ensure proper ventilation. 

If there is insufficient space between the product and the sink, it may damage the sink or allow mold to 

grow.
