Safety instructions
Delivery
Immediately check the packaging and dishwasher
for any damage which may have been caused in
transit. Do not use a damaged appliance, but consult
your supplier.
Please dispose of packaging material properly.
Installation
Install and connect the appliance according to the
installation and assembly instructions.
The dishwasher must NOT be connected to the
power supply during installation.
Ensure that the protective conductor system of the
domestic electricity supply has been installed
correctly.
Electrical connection conditions must correspond
with the specifications on the rating plate of the
dishwasher.
In order for your dishwasher to become
serve@Home capable, you will need a special
accessory, the System Interface (available from your
specialist supplier). Please follow the enclosed
installation instructions, and install the system
interface in the chamber located at the front of the
dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is to be installed in a high-sided
unit, ensure that the unit is attached properly and
also at the rear.
Built-under and built-in appliances should always be
installed under a continuous work surface which is
attached to the adjacent cupboards, in order to
ensure that the appliance is entirely stable.
After the appliance has been installed, the mains
plug should still be easily accessible.
Not on all models:
The plastic housing on the water input contains an
electrically operated valve. The connecting wires are
inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through this hose
and do not immerse the plastic housing in water.
Warning
For safety reasons, if the appliance is not fitted in a
recess, thereby making a side wall accessible, the door
hinge area should be covered at the side.
(Risk of injury)
Covers are available as optional accessories from
customer services or specialist stores.
In daily use
Warning
Knives and other utensils with sharp points must be
placed in the baskets either flat or with the points
downwards.
Use the dishwasher only in the household and only
for its designed purpose, i.e. for washing domestic
dishes.
Do not lean or sit on the open door. The appliance
could tip.
Please note that free-standing appliances may tip
over if the baskets are overloaded.
The water in the appliance is not drinking water.
Do not add any solvents to the washing chamber.
Danger of explosion!
Open the door carefully when the programme is still
running. Water could spray out of the appliance.
To prevent injuries, e.g. caused by stumbling, open
the dishwasher only briefly in order to load and
unload the dishwasher.
Read and observe the safety information and
instructions for use on the packaging for cleaning
and rinsing agents.
Children in the household
Do not let infants play or operate the dishwasher.
Keep cleaning and rinsing agents out of the reach of
infants. These may cause chemical burns in the
mouth, throat and eyes or asphyxiation.
Keep infants away from the open dishwasher. It
could contain residue of the cleaning agent.
If the appliance is installed at eye-level, ensure when
opening and closing the door that children are not
caught or crushed between the appliance door and
the cupboard door situated below.
