Safety information
_7
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it
and an effective grounding system. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present
and regularly tested and where there is any doubt the electrical system in the house should be
checked by a qualified electrician.
The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate grounding system (e.g.
electric shock).
Do not connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply by a multi‐socket unit or an extension
lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).
This appliance may only be installed in mobile installations such as ships if a risk assessment of the
installation has been carried out by a suitably qualified engineer.
The plastic housing of the water connection contains an electrical component. The housing must not
be submerged in water.
There are electrical wires in the hose of Aqua-Stop. Never cut the water inlet hose, even if it is too long.
Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent
person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations. Repairs and other work
by unqualified persons can be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for unauthorised
work.
The integrated waterproof system offers protection from water damage, provided the following
conditions are met:
• The dishwasher is correctly installed and plumbed in.
• The dishwasher is properly maintained and parts are replaced where it can be seen that this is
necessary.
• The stopcock has been turned off when the appliance is not used for a longer period of time (e.g.
during holidays).
• The waterproof system will work even if the appliance is switched off. However, the appliance must
remain connected to the electricity supply.
A damaged appliance can be dangerous. If the dishwasher gets damaged, switch it off at the mains
and call your dealer or the service department.
Unauthorised repairs could result in unforeseen dangers for the user, for which the manufacturer
cannot accept liability. Repairs should only be undertaken by an approved service technician.
Faulty components must only be replaced by original spare parts. Only when these parts are fitted can
the safety of the appliance can be guaranteed.
Always disconnect the dishwasher from the electrical supply for maintenance work (switch off at the
wall socket and remove the plug).
If the connection cable is damaged it must be replaced with a special cable, available from the
manufacturer. For safety reasons, this must only be fitted by the service department or an authorised
service technician.
