Safety and warnings
Important safety precautions
For your safety, follow basic precautions when using your dishwasher, including the following:
Please read all instructions before operating your dishwasher.
The information in this user guide must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Operational
Use the dishwasher only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep them out of reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of each wash programme.
When loading items to be washed, place sharp items where they are not likely to damage the dishwasher and load sharp knives with the handles up to reduce the risk of cut type injuries. Do not tamper with the controls of your dishwasher.
Do not abuse, sit on, or stand on the door or dish rack of your dishwasher. Do not place any heavy objects on the door when it is open. The dishwasher could tip forward.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher.
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water heater system that has not been used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a period, then before using the dishwasher, turn on all hot water taps and let the water flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As hydrogen gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service or discarding it.
Open the door very carefully if the dishwasher is in operation. There is a risk of being sprayed with hot water. Do not open the door fully until the spray arm has stopped rotating.
The door should not be left in the open position as this could present a tripping hazard.
When disconnecting the dishwasher pull by the plug rather than the cord or junction of cord to avoid damage.
This dishwasher is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons unless they have been adequately supervised by a responsible person to ensure that they can use the dishwasher safely. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the dishwasher.
The water inside the dishwasher is not suitable for drinking.
This dishwasher is designed for washing normal household utensils. Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron debris, or corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals are not to be washed in this dishwasher.
If the dishwasher is not being used for long periods of time, turn the electricity and water supply to the dishwasher off.
