persons away from the dishwasher
when the door is opened. Consult a
doctor immediately if detergent has been
swallowed or inhaled.
• Do not drink water from the dishwasher!
Harmful residues could be present.
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas
may be produced in a hot water heater
system that has not been used for
two weeks or more. Hydrogen gas is
explosive. If the hot water system has not
been used for such period, before using
the dishwasher turn on all hot water
taps and let the water flow from each for
several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. As gas is
flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.
• Do not store or use flammable liquids or
vapors in the area of the dishwasher.
• When loading items to be washed,
position sharp items so that they are
not likely to damage the door seal and
load sharp knives with the handles up to
reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
• Do not wash plastic items unless they
are marked “dishwasher safe” or the
equivalent. For plastic items not so
marked, check the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
• If a malfunction occurs, switch off the
appliance and turn off the water supply to
the dishwasher.
• Before cleaning or carrying out
maintenance, switch off the appliance,
disconnect the power plug and turn off
the water supply.
• Repairs and technical modifications must
be carried out exclusively by a qualified
technician.
• If the dishwasher is not in use for an
extended period of time (i.e. vacation
home), we recommend you check that
the baskets are empty, leave the inside
of the dishwasher clean, leave the door
cracked open to allow air to circulate and
turn off both the power and water supply
to the dishwasher.
• This appliance must be grounded. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding will reduce the risk of electric
shock by providing a path of least
resistance for electric current. This
appliance is equipped with a cord having
an equipment-grounding conductor and
a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that
is installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
• This appliance must be connected to
a grounded metal, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment-grounding
conductor must be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment-grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
WARNING
• Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician
or service representative if you are
in doubt whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance,
if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
