Correct application
 This appliance is designed for domestic use and for use in similar
environments by guests in hotel or motel rooms, bed & breakfasts
and other typical living quarters. This does not include common/
shared facilities or commercial facilities within hotels, motels or bed
& breakfasts.
 This dishwasher is not suitable for outdoor use.
 It must only be used 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.
 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 its use by a person responsible
for their safety, and are able to recognise the dangers of misuse.

Warning and Safety instructions

Safety with children
 Young children must not be allowed to use this appliance.
 Older children may only use the appliance when its operation has
been clearly explained to them and they are able to use it safely,
recognising the dangers of misuse.
 Cleaning work may only be carried out by older children under the
supervision of an adult.
 Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance. Keep small children away from the appliance at all
times to avoid the risk of injury. There is the risk that children may
lock 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
opening mechanism.
 Danger of suffocation! Children may be able to wrap themselves in
packing material or pull it over their heads with the risk of
suffocation. Keep children away from any packing material.
 Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of
children at all times. Some dishwasher detergents are strongly
alkaline and contain irritants and corrosive ingredients. They can be
extremely dangerous if swallowed, and can cause burning in the
mouth, nose and throat, or inhibit breathing. Avoid contact with the
skin and eyes. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the
door is open. There could still be detergent residues in the cabinet or
dispenser. Check that the dispenser is empty after the completion of
a programme. Seek medical advice immediately if your child has
swallowed or inhaled detergent, e.g. Poisons Information Centre
(Australia) or National Poisons Centre (NZ).
