During Use
• The water protection system ensures reliable pro-
tection against water damage if the following
conditions are fulfilled:
– The mains connection must remain connected
even when the dishwasher is switched off.
– The dishwasher must be properly installed
– Always turn off the water taps when the dish-
washer is left unattended for longer periods.
• Never use the dishwasher if there any signs of da-
mage to the mains lead, the supply or drain hoses,
the operating panel or the lower section.
• If there is a fault, switch off the appliance and dis-
connect from the mains supply. Close the water
tap.
• Never pull the mains plug out of the socket by the
cable, but by the plug itself.
• Place long, pointed objects (such as knives) with
the handle to the front in the upper basket.
• After filling or emptying the appliance, ensure that
you have properly closed the door. An open door
can be a source of danger.
• Never sit or stand on the open door.
• Dishwasher repairs must only be carried out by
trained personnel. Improper repairs may seriously
endanger the user. If your dishwasher is in need of
repair, contact your local Service Force Centre.
• If the mains cable of your dishwasher is damaged,
it must only be replaced by a special cable of the
same type available from your local Service Force
Centre. It must only be fitted by qualified person-
nel.
• Do not place solvents in the dishwasher due to the
danger of explosion.
• Before using special dishwasher salt, detergents
and rinse aids, ensure that the manufacturer of
these products expressly specifies their use in do-
mestic dishwashers.
• Always turn off the water taps when your dishwas-
her is left unattended for longer periods, e.g., when
you are away on holiday.
• If the connected appliance is exposed to tempera-
tures below freezing point, it must be correctly drai-
ned by customer service.
• There is no danger of freezing during delivery from
the factory!
