Correct application
 This dishwasher is intended for use in domestic households and
similar working and residential environments.
 The dishwasher is not intended for outdoor use.
 It must only be used as a domestic appliance as specified in these
operating instructions, for cleaning domestic crockery and cutlery.
Any other usage is not supported by the manufacturer and could be
dangerous.
 The appliance can only be used by people with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
if they are supervised whilst using it, or have been shown how to use
it in a safe way and recognise and understand the consequences of
incorrect operation.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
 Children under 8 years of age must be kept away from the appli-
ance unless they are constantly supervised.
 Children 8 years and older may only use the dishwasher unsuper-
vised if they have been shown how to use it safely and recognise
and understand the consequences of incorrect operation.
 Children must not be allowed to clean or maintain the appliance
unsupervised.
 Please supervise children in the vicinity of the dishwasher and do
not let them play with it. There is a danger that children playing might
shut themselves in the dishwasher.
 If the automatic door opening mechanism (depending on model) is
active keep young children away from the area in which the door
opens. Danger of injury in the unlikely event of a fault with the open-
ing mechanism.
 Danger of suffocation. Packaging, e.g. plastic wrappings, must be
kept out of the reach of babies and children. Whilst playing, children
could become entangled in packaging or pull it over their head and
suffocate.
 Keep children away from detergents. Dishwasher detergents can
cause burning in the mouth, nose and throat if swallowed, or inhibit
breathing. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is
open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet. Seek
medical attention immediately if your child has swallowed or inhaled
detergent.
