Safety and warnings
Your DishDrawer® has been carefully designed to operate safely during normal dishwashing
procedures. Please keep the following instructions in mind when you are using your
DishDrawer®.
Important safety instructions
WARNING! - When using your dishwasher, follow basic precautions, including the following:
Read all instructions before using the DishDrawer®.
The information in this manual must be followed to minimise the risk of fire or explosion or to
prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Use the DishDrawer® only for its intended function as described in this user guide.
Use only detergents or rinse aid recommended for use in a domestic dishwasher and keep them
out of reach of children. Check that the detergent dispenser is empty after the completion of
each wash programme.
When loading items to be washed, locate sharp items so that they are not likely to damage the
lid seal and load sharp knives with the handle up to reduce the risk of cut-type injuries.
Do not touch the heater plate during or immediately after use.
Do not operate your DishDrawer® unless all enclosure panels are properly in place.
Do not tamper with the controls.
Do not abuse, sit on, stand in or on the drawer or dish rack of the DishDrawer®.
The adjustable racks are designed to support cups, glasses and kitchen utensils. When the
adjustable racks are in the DishDrawer® do not lean on or use them to support your body
weight.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the DishDrawer®.
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 a 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 the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open flame during this time.
Remove the door to the washing compartment when removing an old dishwasher from service
or discarding it.
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes, keep children and infirm persons away from the dishwasher when the drawer is
opened.
