Viking 100 Dishwasher User Manual

Getting Started
Dishwasher detergents are alkaline. They can be dangerous if
inhaled or swallowed. Avoid contact with skin and eyes and keep
children and people in poor health 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 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 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.
