13 BEFORE USING THE DISHWASHER/CONNECTIONS 1. Removing the packaging and controls: After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician or your local retailer. • Keep the packaging materials (plastic bags, polystyrene parts, etc.) out of reach of children, as they are potentially dangerous. 2. Water and electrical connections All water and electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified technician in compliance with the manufacturers instructions (refer to the enclosed installation booklet) and current local safety regulations. The appliance must only be used in the household for the prescribed uses. Do not use the dishwasher if it has been damaged in transit. Consult your local retailer or our After- Sales Service. (Refer to the separate installation instructions booklet) 3. Water inlet and drain • Observe any special regulations issued by your local Water Board. • Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are kink-free and are not crushed. • If the hose length is not sufficient, please contact your local dealer or our After-Sales Service. • The inlet hose must be securely clamped to the water tap to prevent leaks. • The inlet water temperature varies according to the model installed. Inlet hose marked ”25°C Max”: maximum temperature 25°C. All other models: maximum temperature 60°C. • When installing the appliance, make sure the drain water discharges correctly (if necessary, remove the wire gauze from the sink siphon). • Fix the drain hose to the spigot with a clamp to prevent it from coming off during operation. For appliances with water-stop system only: if the water connections are made correctly, the water- stop system safeguards your home against damage caused by flooding.4. Electrical connection • Closely adhere to local Electricity Board regulations. • Voltage information is shown on the rating plate mounted inside the door on the right hand side. • The appliance must be earthed as prescribed by law. • Do not use extension leads or multiple adapters. • Before carrying out maintenance, disconnect the mains plug. • The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician. • For Austria: if the apparatus is series connected to a fault current switch, this must be sensitive to the pulsating current. 396gb94500.fm5 Page 13 Monday, July 9, 2001 3:26 PM
14 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 (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. 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. General recommendations: • 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! • Only use detergents, rinse aids and regeneration salts specially recommended for use in domestic dishwashers. • Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, switch off the appliance, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap. • If a fault occurs, switch off the appliance and turn off the water tap. • If necessary, the power cable may be replaced with another of the same kind obtained from our After- Sales Service. The power cable must only be replaced by a qualified technician. • On completion of the programme switch off the dishwasher and turn off the water tap. For appliances with water stop system, this operation is not necessary.6. 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. If the hose is damaged switch off the appliance immediately. 7. Warnings for comparative testing: Comparative testing conditions are described in the additional “Warnings for comparative testing” page. EC Declaration of conformity This appliance has been designed, constructed and distributed in compliance with the safety requirements of EC Directives: • 73/23/EC • 89/336/EC • 93/68/EC Load capacity: 8 place settings. 396gb94500.fm5 Page 14 Monday, July 9, 2001 3:26 PM
