Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Installation, Connection and Placing into Operation · The dishwasher may only be transported upright. · Check the dishwasher for transport damage. Do not in any circumstances connect an appliance that is damaged. In the case of damage, please contact your supplier. · Prior to placing the appliance in operation, ensure that the nominal voltage and type of supply on the rating plate match that of the supply where the appliance is to be installed. The fuse rating is also to be found on the rating plate. · For information on how to correctly install and connect up your dishwasher, please read the ,,Installation" section. Multiway plugs / connectors and extension cables must not be used. This could constitute a safety hazard. Child Safety · Children often do not recognise the hazards associated with the use of electrical appliances. It is therefore important that you ensure children are adequately supervised and that you do not allow children to play with the dishwasher ­ there is a risk that children can shut themselves inside the appliance (risk of suffocation!). · Packaging materials (e.g. films, styrofoam) can be dangerous for children. Risk of suffocation! Keep packaging away from children. · Detergents can cause burns to the eyes, mouth, and throat, or even cause choking! Please observe the manufacturer's safety instructions for cleaners and detergents. · The water in your dishwasher is not suitable for drinking. If there are still remnants of detergent in the appliance, there is a risk of burns! · When disposing of the dishwasher: unplug from the mains, cut off and dispose of the mains cable. Break the door lock so that the door no longer shuts. 5 Operating Instructions General Safety · Repairs to the dishwasher are only to be carried out by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact customer service or your dealer. · Never place the dishwasher in operation if the mains cable, water inlet or drain hose is damaged; or the control panel, work top or plinth area is damaged such that the inside of the appliance is freely accessible. · If the mains lead is damaged, or is to be replaced for a longer lead, the cable (obtainable from ATAG customer service) must be replaced by a service engineer authorised by ATAG. · Never unplug the appliance by pulling on the cable, always pull the plug. · Additions or modifications to the dishwasher are not permitted for safety reasons. · Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you will avoid anybody tripping over the open door and hurting themselves. · Sharp knives and other item of cutlery with sharp edges must be laid in the upper rack or placed in the cutlery rack with the point facing downwards. Correct Use · Only wash household dishes using the dishwasher. If the appliance is used for other purposes, or is used incorrectly, the manufacturer cannot accept any liability for any damage caused. · Prior to use, ensure that the manufacturers of the special salt, detergent, and rinse aid employed specifically permit the usage of their products in household dishwashers. · Do not put any solvents in the dishwasher. There is a risk of an explosion! · The anti-flood system provides dependable protection against damage due to leaks. For this system to function correctly, the following preconditions must be met: ­ The appliance must remain connected to the mains even when it is switched off. ­ The dishwasher must be correctly installed. ­ Always shut off the water supply at the tap when the dishwasher is not to be used for longer periods, e.g. when you are away on holiday. 6 Operating Instructions · Do not sit or stand on the open door, the appliance may tip over. · In the event of a fault, first close the tap, then switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. If the appliance is permanently wired to the mains: switch off the fuse(s) or unscrew them. 2 Disposal Disposing of the Packaging Material Dispose of the dishwasher packaging material correctly. All the packaging materials used are harmless to the environment and can be recycled. · Plastic parts are marked with standard international abbreviations: ­ >PE< for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping material ­ >PS< for polystyrene, e.g. padding material (always CFC-free) ­ >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic clips · Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recycled paper and should be deposited in the waste paper collection for recycling. Disposal of old appliances As and when you cease to use your dishwasher, please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose of it for you. 2 Economical and Ecological Dishwashing · Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply if your hot water is not electrically heated. · Ensure that the water softener is correctly adjusted. · Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water. · When you wash a small load, the load sensor calculates the amount of water necessary and shortens the programme. It is more economical to always wash with a full load. · Select the wash programme to suit the nature and degree of the soiling on the dishes. · Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse aid than is recommended in these operating instructions and by the manufacturer of the respective product. 7 Operating Instructions Appliance Features and Control ...
