Operating instructions OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1 Safety instructions The safety features of AEG electrical appliances comply with accepted technical standards and the German Appliance Safety Law. Nevertheless, as a manufacturer we consider it our obligation to make you aware of the following safety information: Installation, connection and initial use • The dishwasher may only be transported upright. • Check the dishwasher for transport damage.
Operating instructions General safety • Repairs to the dishwasher may only be performed by qualified service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to significant hazards for the user.
