Before washing for the first time

Read the operating instructions

Read through the operating instructions before using the dishwasher, especially the sections Safety instructions, Child safety and Dishwashing.

Be careful with certain materials

Read the section Fragile dishes before dishwashing porcelain with unglazed decoration or other utensils made from plastic, wood or crystal that you value.

Checking water hardness

Contact the local water utility to check the water hardness in your area. This is important with regard to how much detergent and rinse aid to use.

Program key

Some dishwashers include program keys in different languages. Attach the program key in the desired language to the top of the door.

Safety instructions

General

Read the operating instructions and keep them in a safe place!
Never use the dishwasher for any purpose other than that specified in these operating instructions.
Do not load the dishwasher door or dishwasher baskets with anything other than dishes.
Never leave the dishwasher door open as someone may trip on it.
Use only dishwasher detergent!
Place knives and other sharp items so that they cannot harm anyone or damage the dishwasher.
The machine is not designed to be used by persons (even children) that are physically or mentally handicapped or lack experience and knowledge. Such persons must receive instruction in how to use the machine from the person responsible for their safety.
Damaged mains cables must only be replaced by a qualified electrician.
This dishwasher is for household or similar use, such as:
-
staff kitchens in shops, offices and other workplaces.
-
farms.
-
for guests at hotels, motels and other types of accommodation.
-
bed & breakfast hotels.
Never place dishes with solvent residues in the dishwasher due to the risk of explosion. Nor may dishes that contain ash, wax or lubricants be washed in the dishwasher.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

Winter storage/Transport

Store the dishwasher where the temperature remains above freezing.
Avoid long transport distances in very cold weather.
Transport the dishwasher upright or laying on its back.

Overflow guard function

The overflow protection starts pumping out the machine and turns off the water supply if the water level in the dishwasher exceeds the normal level. If the overflow protection is triggered, turn off the water supply and call the service division.

Cleaning

When cleaning the edge around the door, use only a slightly damp cloth. Do not spray water around the edge! Moisture can make its way into the lock, which contains electrical components.

Packing material

Sort waste materials in accordance with local guidelines.

Disposal

When the dishwasher has reached the end of its service life and is to be disposed of, it should immediately be made unusable. Pull out the power cable and cut it as short as possible.
The dishwasher is manufactured and labelled for recycling.
Contact your local authority for information about where and how your dishwasher should be correctly recycled.

See the section Installation.

Child safety

Child safety and dishwashing

Use the knife basket, or knife stand, for all long/sharp items.
Always close the door and start the program immediately after you have added the detergent.
Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open. Some detergent may remain inside!
Do not allow children to use or play with the dishwasher. Be especially vigilant when the door is open.
WARNING!
Children must be supervised – dishwasher detergent is corrosive!
Store detergent and rinse aid out of the reach of children! If anyone swallows dishwasher detergent, they should immediately drink one or two glasses of milk or water. Do not attempt to induce vomiting. Contact a doctor! If anyone gets dishwasher detergent in their eyes, rinse (for at least 15 minutes) with plenty of water.
WARNING!
Dishwasher detergents are strongly alkaline. They can be extremely dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Check that the detergent compartment is empty after completion of the wash cycle.

Activate child lock (button lock)

You can activate the child lock (button lock) to prevent children from starting the dishwasher (see the section Settings).
