2.1 Safe installation
ATTENTION!
Improper installation of the appliance
may cause damage.
▶
If the dishwasher is installed above
or below other domestic appli-
ances, follow the information on in-
stallation in combination with a
dishwasher in the installation in-
structions for the individual appli-
ances.
▶
If there is no information or if the
installation instructions do not in-
clude the relevant information, con-
tact the manufacturer of these ap-
pliances to check that the dish-
washer can be installed above or
below these appliances.
▶
If no information is available from
the manufacturer, the dishwasher
should not be installed above or
below such appliances.
▶
To ensure the safe operation of all
domestic appliances, continue fol-
lowing the installation instructions
for the dishwasher.
▶
Do not install the dishwasher un-
der a hob.
▶
Do not install the dishwasher near
heat sources, e.g. radiators, heat
storage tanks, ovens or other ap-
pliances that generate heat.
Contact between the appliance and
water pipes may lead to corrosion of
these pipes, possibly causing them
to leak.
▶
Check that there is a distance of at
least 5 cm between the appliance
and the water pipe. The pipes sup-
plied for the drinking water and
waste water connections are not
affected here.
Modified or damaged water hoses
may result in material damage and
damage to the appliance.
▶
Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses.
▶
Only use the water hoses supplied
with the appliance or genuine
spare hoses.
▶
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be
able to operate properly.
▶
Make sure that the water pressure
in the water supply system is min.
50 kPa (0.5 bar) and max.
1000 kPa (10 bar).
▶
If the water pressure exceeds the
maximum value specified, a pres-
sure-reducing valve must be in-
stalled between the drinking water
connection and the hose set of the
appliance.
2.2 Safe use
ATTENTION!
Escaping water vapour can damage
fitted units.
▶
When the programme ends, leave
the appliance to cool down for a
while before opening the door.
Special salt for dishwashers can
damage the tub due to corrosion.
▶
To make sure that any special salt
that escapes is washed out of the
tub, add the special salt to the dis-
penser for special salt immediately
before the programme starts.
Detergent may damage the water
softening system.
▶
Only fill the dispenser of the water
softening system with special dish-
washer salt.
Unsuitable cleaning agents may dam-
age the appliance.
▶
Do not use a steam cleaner.
