Your dishwasher in day-to-day use Never operate your dishwasher if the electrical supply lead, supply or drainhose, control panel, worktop or plinth are damaged. If there is a fault, first turn the water tap off. Then switch off your machine and pull the plug out of the socket.
Disposing of packaging and old machines Disposing of the packaging Our dishwashers require effective protective packaging in transit, though we always confine ourselves to what is absolutely necessary. Warning! Packaging parts (e.g. foils, styrene foam) may be dangerous for children and can cause suffocation. You should therefore keep all packaging well away from children.
