Installation

Check your dishwasher for any transport damage. Never

damaged, you should contact your supplier. 

For safety reasons it is dangerous to alter the specifications 
or attempt to modify this product in any way. 

Any electrical and plumbing work required to install this 
appliance should be carried out by a qualified and 
competent person.

Care must be taken to ensure that the appliance does not 
stand on the electrical supply cable.

Child safety 

This appliance is designed to be operated by adults.

or play with the product. 

Packaging parts may be dangerous for children, who could 
even be suffocated! You should therefore keep all 
packaging well away from children.

The water in your dishwasher is not for drinking. Detergent 
residues may still be present in your machine. Keep 
children well away from your dishwasher when the door is 
open.

Your dishwasher in day-to-day use

Items that are contaminated by petrol, paint, steel or iron 
debris, corrosive, acidic or alkaline chemicals must not be 
washed in this dishwasher. 

Under no circumstances should you open the door whilst 
the appliance is in operation, especially during the washing 
phase, hot water may escape. However, if the door is 
opened, a safety device ensures that the machine stops. 

Only use products (detergent, salt and rinse aid) specifically 
designed for use in dishwashers. 

Long bladed knives stored in an upright position are a 
potential hazard. 

Long and/or sharp items of cutlery such as carving knives 
must be positioned horizontally in the upper basket. 

When finishing loading or unloading close the door, as an 
open door can be a hazard. 

Do not sit or stand on the open door. 

Isolate the appliance from the power supply and turn off the 
water supply after use. 

This product should be serviced by an authorised service 
engineer, and only genuine spare parts should be used.

machine yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperienced 
persons may cause injury or serious malfunctioning. 
Contact your local consumer services department. Always 
insist on genuine spare parts.
