Manual

Children

Never allow children to play with the

dishwasher. Detergents contain irritants

and abrasives which could affect the

eyes, mouth and throat. Keep

detergents out of reach and only put

them into the machine just before

starting a washing programme.

Dishwasher waste water is not suitable

for drinking.

Never allow children to play on or sit

on the door when it is open.

Please ensure that packaging material

is disposed of in a responsible manner.

Plastic bags should be cut up to prevent

children playing with them and

accidentally suffocating.

This appliance is not intended for use

by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been

given supervision or instruction

concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Children should be supervised to

ensure that they do not play with the

appliance.

General safety

The machine must be installed and

connected in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions.

The machine must only be used

domestically and for the purposes for

which it was designed.

Do not leave the machine exposed to

direct sunlight or rain.

Never add chemical solvents or

flammable liquids to the tank as they

constitute a fire hazard.

Never use any detergents or water

softeners, other than those specifically

manufactured for use in dishwashers.

The door of the machine has been designed

to support the weight of a fully loaded lower

rack. Never place any other load on the

door as the machine may then tip forwards.

In case of malfunction or maintenance

work, disconnect the machine from the

electrical

mains immediately.

Should you at any time in the future scrap

the machine, cut the power cord and take

measures to render the door lock

inoperative. This will prevent children, when

playing, getting trapped inside.

Environmental care

Where possible, help to protect our

environment by disposing of packaging

material in a responsible manner.

You can save water by observing these

simple guidelines:

Remove bones and residue from dirty

dishes.

Avoid partial loads and only start the

machine when it is fully loaded.

Select the programme according to the dirt

level of the load.

Use a programme which includes pre-wash

for very dirty dishes.

Unsuitable dishes for dishwashers

Ascertain that your dinnerware and cutlery

is dishwasher compatible.

Do not wash cutlery with wooden or bone

handles, items which have been glued

together, copper or tin utensils and non

heat- resistant plastics.

Do not wash items containing cigarette

ash, candle wax, or dyes, as these may

harm the machine.

Some glazed and decorated china,

aluminium and silverware may discolour

or fade when washed in a dishwasher.

Crystal and some glassware may lose its

shine or become opaque after repeated

washing in a dishwasher.

Do I need to rinse my dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Verified

Rinsing the dishes is not necessary, but you do need to remove any large, hard and fat leftovers. These could clog the drain over time.

Can I open the dishwasher while it is running? Verified

Most dishwashers are equipped with a water stop, making the program stop immediately when the door is opened and meaning no water will come out. With some models this can cause problems over time. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

Should I open the dishwasher after it finished running to have the dishes dry quicker? Verified

This depends on the type of dishwasher and the location of the dishwasher. Some dishwashers are equipped with a feature that dries the dishes after the washing program. In that case opening the dishwasher will have no added value. With built-in dishwashers it is possible that frequently opening the dishwasher while running may cause water damage to surrounging cabinets because of the steam that is released.

After the dishwaser has finished its cycle, the plastic dishes are still wet but the rest isn't. Why is that? Verified

Plastic is a bad conductor of heat, allowing the products to cool down quickly. The moisture that remains on it then evaporates far less than for example on ceramics or metal.

Can I connect a dishwasher to an extension cord? Verified

Appliances that require large amounts of power, like a dishwasher, can not be connected to all extension cords. See what the power usage of the dishwasher is, which is indicated in Watt, and check if the extension cord cn handle this. There are extension cords with thicker cables that are made to handle larger appliances.

Can I put wooden objects such as spatulas and cutting boards in the dishwasher? Verified

No. Wooden objects can get damaged or warped in a dishwasher. Also, the wood fibres that come free might damage the dishwasher. Wooden cutting boards are often made with glue that can come loose after being in the dishwasher several times.

Can I put pans with Teflon in the dishwasher? Verified

Yes, you can. However, the pan will wear faster than when it is cleaned by hand. When cleaning a pan with Teflon by hand, never use a scourer but use a soft sponge or cloth.
