Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read the instruction booklet carefully, including
its hints and warnings. Doing so will ensure that your machine will perform properly and to best
advantage. Anyone using the machine should be thoroughly familiar with its instructions for use
and safety features. Save these instructions and make sure they remain with the machine if it is
moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life can be properly informed on appliance
use and safety.
Installation and servicing
■ All installation and service work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the
product and may cause personal injury or damage.
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it
must be isolated from the electrical supply. To do this
the power plug must be removed from the wall socket.
■ Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.
■ The power cable must be plugged into an earthed
socket, which must be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorized
electrician.
■ If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by a
special cable or assembly available from Service Force.
■ Make sure that the power cable is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed
or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection
with installation or cleaning etc.
■ Servicing and repairs must be carried out by a trained
service technician. Only use genuine spare parts
available from your local Service Force Centre. Never
try to repair the dishwasher yourself.
Child Safety
■ The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.
■ Keep all packaging well away from children.
■ Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s
reach.
■ Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing
on the open door.
During Use
■ This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage
to property and invalidate the guarantee.
■ Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
as hot steam may escape.
■ Only use detergent specifically designed for use in
dishwashers.
■ If you take any dishes out of the machine before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.
■ Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards.
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.
■ When finishing loading or unloading close the door,
as an open door can be a hazard.
■ Make sure that the machine is disconnected from the
power supply during cleaning and maintenance work.
■ After using the machine, turn off its water supply and
disconnect it from the power supply. When removing
the electrical plug, grip the plug, not the cable.
