PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Packing: The packing box may be fully recycled as confirmed by the recycling symbol . 2. Energy and water saving tips: � Do not rinse crockery under running water. � Always fully load the dishwasher before switching on or set the wash programme to half load/ Multizone (if available) if one rack only is loaded. � If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised heating systems, the appliance may be connected to the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature of 60°C. Make sure the water inlet hose is of the correct type. Refer to the �Connections� chapter in these user instructions. 3. Disposal: The appliance is built from reusable materials. If you decide to scrap the dishwasher, it must be disposed of in compliance with local waste disposal laws. Before scrapping, cut off the power cable so that the appliance cannot be connected to the mains. � To prevent situations of potential danger to children (e.g. danger of suffocation), break the lock of the door so that it can no longer be closed. 4. Child safety: � Children must not be allowed to play with the dishwasher. � Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt in a dry place out of the reach of children. 5. Safety warnings: � The open dishwasher door can only support the weight of the loaded rack when pulled out. Do not rest objects on the open door or sit or stand on it: the appliance may topple over! � Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: risk of explosion! � Sharp knives and forks that might cause injury must be placed in the cutlery basket with the sharp end facing downwards. Long-handled utensils must be arranged horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp end facing away from the front of the appliance. � Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap. 14 � If a fault occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the water tap. � On completion of the programme switch off the dishwasher and turn off the water tap. � Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician. � The water in the dishwasher is not potable. � Do not store inflammable liquids near the dishwasher. � Do not operate the appliance in the open air. 6. Resistance to frost If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Turn off the water tap, remove the flexible inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water run out. 7. For appliances with water stop system: The water inlet hose and plastic casing contain electrical components. Do not therefore cut the hose or immerse the plastic casing in water.
