Safety instructions
The safety of AEG electrical appliances conforms to accepted rules of technology and
the Appliance Safety Act. We as manufacturers, however, see ourselves as being
obliged to familiarise you with the following safety instructions.
Using your dishwasher for its intended purpose
●
Only use your dishwasher for machine washing of household crockery. If your
machine is misused or used for any purposes other than that for which it is
intended, the manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damage caused.
●
For safety reasons, you should not convert or modify your dishwasher in any way.
Before using your dishwasher for the first time
●
Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never connect a damaged
machine. If your dishwasher is damaged, you should contact your supplier.
●
Your dishwasher must be correctly installed and connected. Please read the
section on "Installation" to make sure you know all about this.
●
Before using your dishwasher for the first time, do not forget that the nominal
voltage and current type indicated on the rating plate of your machine must be
the same as the nominal voltage and current type at the installation site. The
necessary electrical fusing is also given on the rating plate.
Child safety
●
Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children,who could
even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all packaging well away from
children.
●
Children may not recognise the dangers of improper use of electrical appliances.
You should therefore ensure proper supervision during operation and not allow
your children to play with your dishwasher.
●
Detergents may have a caustic effect on eyes, mouth and throat and may even
cause suffocation! Keep all detergents in a safe place out of children’s reach.
●
The water in your dishwasher should not be used for drinking. Detergent residues
may still be present in your machine. Keep children well away from your
dishwasher when its door is open.
Your dishwasher in day-to-day use
●
Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drainhose,
control panel, worktop or plinth are damaged.
●
If there is a fault, first turn the water tap off. Then switch off your machine and
pull the plug out of the socket. If there is a fixed connection, switch off or
unscrew the fuse(s).
●
Never pull the plug out of the socket by the cable - always hold the plug.
