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 rating 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).
