Safety
Risks when dealing with
dishwashers
WARNING
Risk of injury!
Knives and other pointed or sharp-
edged objects can cause injuries.
Knives and other utensils with sharp
■
points must be loaded in the basket
with their points down or placed in a
horizontal position.
Load the appliance in such a way
■
that no objects which may cause in-
jury fall out of the dish racks when
the appliance is next opened and the
dish racks are removed.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion!
Solvents can create an explosive
mixture.
Never put solvents into the appliance.
■
Do not place fl ammable products or
■
objects wetted with fl ammable prod-
ucts into or near to the appliance.
Risk of poisoning!
Dishwasher detergents, rinse aid and
dishwasher salt can be damaging to
the health.
Keep these products out of the reach
■
of children and pets.
Never use the water inside the appli-
■
ance as drinking water.
The appliance is heavy and bulky.
Improper handling of the appliance
may lead to injuries.
Seek the help of another person during
■
transport, installation and assembly.
Remove all obstacles on the transport
■
route and from the installation loca-
tion, e.g. open doors and clear away
objects lying on the fl oor.
Do not use the open door as a step,
■
seat or for support. Make sure that
children and pets do not stand or sit
on the open door.
Risk of scalding!
The hot washing-up water will cause
the dishes and the interior of the appli-
ance to heat up and hot steam is emit-
ted. Touching them can therefore cause
scalding.
Only hold the door by the handle when
■
opening the door. Maintain a safe dis-
tance from the appliance in order to
avoid steam which may escape.
Do not touch the dishes, cutlery or the
■
inside of the appliance immediately
after the dishwashing programme
has fi nished.
Fire hazard!
Insuffi cient ventilation can cause fi res.
If your appliance has ventilation
■
grids, never cover them.
Do not set up the appliance on car-
■
pets or rugs if it has ventilation grids
on the bottom section.
Risk of injury!
An open dishwasher door can quickly
become a tripping hazard.
The door should not be left in the
■
open position since this can present a
tripping hazard.
Close the door after every use.
■
Only leave the door slightly open to
■
cool down.
