Electrolux ESF 631 Safety Instructions, Installation, Connection and Plac- ing into Operation

1Safety Instructions

The safety aspects of ELECTROLUX electrical appli- ances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information:

Installation, Connection and Plac- ing into Operation

•The dishwasher may only be transported upright.

•Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier.

•Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate.

•For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the “Installation“ section. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a safety hazard.

Child Safety

•Children often do not recognise the hazards asso- ciated with the use of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher – there is a risk that children can shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!).

•Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children.

•Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for cleaners and detergents.

•The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns!

•When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door no longer shuts.

General Safety

•Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or your dealer.

•Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible.

•If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from ELECTROLUX customer service) must be changed by a service engineer authorised by

ELECTROLUX.

•Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug.

•Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons.

•Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves.

•Sharp knives and items of cutlery with sharp edges must be placed in the cutlery tray or in the upper rack.

Correct Use

•Only wash household dishes using the dish- washer. If the appliance is used for other pur- poses, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused.

•Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their products in household dishwashers.

•Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion!

•The anti-flood system provides dependable pro- tection against damage due to leaks. For this sys- tem to function correctly, the following preconditions must be met:

–The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is switched off.

–The dishwasher must be correctly installed.

–Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on hol- iday.

•Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appli- ance may tip over.

•In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them.
