This appliance is not a toy! To avoid the risk of injury, keep children well away and do not allow them to play in or around the dishwasher or to use the controls. They will not understand the potential dangers posed by it. They should be supervised whenever you are working in the kitchen.
There is also a danger that children playing might shut themselves in the dishwasher.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
Older children may only use the dishwasher when its operation has been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely, recognising the dangers of misuse.
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM DETERGENTS! Dishwasher detergents contain irritant and corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet.
Consult a doctor immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled detergent.

CAUTION
Before setting up the appliance, check it for any externally visible damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. A damaged appliance could be dangerous.
The dishwasher must only be plugged into the electricity supply via a suitable switched socket. The electrical socket must be easily accessible after the dishwasher is installed so that it can be disconnected from the electricity supply at any time. (Refer to the “Part and features” section on page 11.)
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fire risk if the dishwasher were to be pushed up against a plug.
The dishwasher must not be installed under a hob. The high radiant temperatures which are sometimes generated by a hob could damage the dishwasher. For the same reason it should not be installed next to open fires or other appliances which give off heat, such as heaters etc.
Do not connect the dishwasher to the mains supply until it has been fully installed and any adjustment has been made to the door springs.
Before connecting the appliance, check that the connection data on the data plate (voltage and connected load) match the mains electricity supply. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
