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. 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.

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.

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 AfterSales 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. 14
