INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN
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.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING YOUR DISHWASHER
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 “Checking the accessories” section
on page 10).
There must be no electrical sockets behind the dishwasher. Danger of overheating and fi re 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 fi res or other appliances which give o 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 qualifi ed electrician.
The electrical safety of this appliance can only be guaranteed when continuity is complete between it
and an e ective 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 qualifi ed 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 qualifi ed 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.
