IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF
THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE
2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must be taken to a
special local authority waste collection centre or to a dealer

Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible

Important Notes

• Read the instructions prior to installation and use of the

appliance.

• Do not lean or climb on the open dishwasher door to

prevent damage.

• Close the dishwasher door after use to prevent accidents.

• Use only detergents, salt and rinse aid specifically

designed for dishwashers.

• Do not put solvents in the dishwasher detergent

compartment to prevent risk of explosion

• Only put dishwasher safe items into the dishwasher. If in

doubt, check with the manufacturer of the items.

• Take care when loading the dishwasher to observe the

recommendations for best loading practice, and also to
ensure that sharp objects such as knives are placed blade
down to prevent accidents.

• Do not open the dishwasher door when a programme is

running. If it is necessary to do so, then open it only slightly
to allow the dishwasher to pause the programme and
prevent any water spilling out. Remember that the water in

the dishwasher can be very hot when the programme is
running.

• When the dishwasher is not in use, we recommend that

you turn off the water supply at the supply tap and
disconnect the main supply.

• If you are leaving the dishwasher for an extended period

you should leave the door slightly open to prevent the
formation of unpleasant smells.

• The plastic housing on the water inlet pipe contains an

electrically operated valve. The wires that connect to this
valve are inside the inlet hose. Do not cut through the inlet
hose, and do not put the plastic housing in water.

• Children could get locked inside the appliance. Therefore

when disposing of an old appliance, cut off the plug and
set aside, and damage the door lock so that the door can
no longer be closed.
