9. Using the dishwasher
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
There is a risk of injury due to improper use of the appli-
ance.
Close the appliance door again after a wash cycle has
finished, as an open door could pose a trip hazard.
Do not place any heavy objects on the door if it is
open. The appliance could tip forwards.
CAUTION!
Risk of burning!
There is a risk of scalding if hot surfaces are touched.
Hot water/hot steam can escape and cause burns if the
door is opened while a program is running.
Allow the appliance to cool down before emptying. Do
not touch the heating element in the dishwasher dur-
ing or immediately after use.
Only operate the dishwasher once the door has been
closed firmly.
Do not open the dishwasher door fully straight away
– instead wait for about 3 seconds until the spray arm
stops rotating and then open the door.
