Safety
Risks when dealing with
dishwashers
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Knives and other pointed or sharp-
edged objects can cause injuries.
■
Knives and other utensils with sharp
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
■
Load the appliance in such a way
that no objects which may cause in-
jury fall out of the dish racks when
the appliance is next opened and the
dish racks are removed.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Solvents can create an explosive mix-
ture.
■
Never put solvents into the appliance.
■
Do not place flammable products or
objects wetted with flammable prod-
ucts into or near to the appliance.
Risk of poisoning!
Dishwasher detergents, rinse aid and
dishwasher salt can be damaging to
the health.
■
Keep these products out of the reach
of children and pets.
■
Never use the water inside the appli-
ance as drinking water.
The appliance is heavy and bulky. Im-
proper handling of the appliance may
result in injury.
■
Seek the help of another person dur-
ing transport, installation and assem-
bly.
■
Remove all obstacles on the transport
route and from the installation loca-
tion, e.g. open doors and clear away
objects lying on the floor.
■
Do not use the open door as a step,
seat or for support. Make sure that
children and pets do not stand or sit
on the open appliance door.
Risk of scalding!
The hot dishwashing water will cause
the dishes and the interior of the appli-
ance to heat up and hot steam is emit-
ted. Touching them can therefore cause
scalding.
■
Only hold the appliance door by the
handle when opening the appliance
door. Maintain a safe distance from
the appliance in order to avoid steam
which may escape.
■
Do not touch the dishes, cutlery or the
inside of the appliance immediate-
ly after the dishwashing programme
has finished.
Fire hazard!
Insufficient ventilation can cause fires.
■
If your appliance has ventilation
grids, never cover them.
■
Do not set up the appliance on car-
pets or rugs if it has ventilation grids
in the lower section.
