2 Warning and safety information Electrical Safety Keep detergents out of children’s reach and do not put detergent in the machine until right before you start the washing programme. The dishwasher should only be operated on the voltage specified. For electrical safety, only earthed plugs and sockets should be used. Always use the fused plug provided with the appliance. The user is responsible for meeting these basic safety requirements.
Please dispose of the packaging material and old appliances carefully. Please ensure old machines do not become a threat to child safety. It is known that children lock themselves in unused machines. To avoid such a problem it is advised that you cut the mains cable off and break the door latch so it does not lock.

When deciding on where to install your new dishwasher, ensure that the position of your dishwasher makes it easy and quick for you to place the dishes in the dishwasher and also to take them out and store away after the dishwashing is completed. Do not overload your dishwasher or do not load items other than those mentioned in this manual.
Destroy the old plug, which is cut off as a plug with a bared cord could cause a shock hazard if inserted into a socket elsewhere in the house. The moulded plug on this appliance incorporates a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced an ASTA approved BS1362 fuse of the same rating must be used. Do not forget to refit the fuse cover. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must not be used until a replacement fuse cover has been fitted.
Water inlet hose connection Make sure your plumbing is suitable to install your new dishwasher. If in doubt contact a qualified plumber.
