Miele G 8XX, G 6XX Safety with children, To avoid machine and material damage

Warning and Safety instructions

Take care on dishwashers with a visible heater element

(depending on model)

Do not touch the heating element during or directly after the end of a

programme. It will be hot. Danger of burning!

Some plastic items could melt or catch fire if they were to come into

contact with the heating element. Therefore always place plastic items or any other items which may not be com- pletely heat resistant in the upper bas- ket and ensure they cannot drop down onto the heater element.

Any items which are too small to be lodged securely in the upper basket should not be cleaned in the dish- washer.

To avoid the danger of children coming into contact with the dish-

washer detergent: only add detergent just before starting the programme and close the door, activating the child safety lock (depending on model). Keep children away from the dish- washer when the door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.

To ensure children do not come into contact with detergent on

models with the "Delay start" option make sure the dispenser is dry before adding detergent. Wipe dry if neces- sary. Detergent will clog if poured into a damp dispenser and may not be thor- oughly dispersed. If the door is open at the end of a programme, children may come into contact with this residue.

Safety with children

Do not allow children to play in or around the dishwasher, or to oper-

ate it. There is a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.

Keep children away from deter- gents. Dishwasher detergents con-

tain irritant or corrosive ingredients. They can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediate- ly if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

To avoid machine and material damage

Do not fill the rinse aid reservoir with powder or liquid detergent.

This will cause serious damage to the reservoir.

Inadvertently filling the salt reser- voir with powder or liquid dish-

washer detergent always leads to seri- ous damage to the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the cor- rect packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir!

Do not use commercial or industrial detergents as these may damage

material and there is a risk of severe chemical reaction.
