Precautions and advice,

Assistance

This appliance was designed and manufactured in

compliance with current international safety standards. The
following information has been provided for safety reasons
and should therefore be read carefully.

General safety

•   This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including

children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.

•   Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not

play with the appliance.

• The appliance was designed for domestic use inside the

home and is not intended for commercial or industrial use.

• The appliance must be used by adults only, to wash

domestic crockery in accordance with the instructions in
this manual.

• The appliance must not be installed outdoors, even in

covered areas. It is extremely dangerous to leave the
machine exposed to rain and storms.

• Do not touch the appliance when barefoot.
• When unplugging the appliance always pull the plug from

the mains socket, do not pull on the cable.

• The water supply tap must be shut off and the plug should

be removed from the electrical socket before cleaning the
appliance or carrying out any maintenance work.

• If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt to
perform the repair work yourself.

• Never touch the heating element.
• Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance: this

may cause the appliance to overturn.

• The door should not be left open as it may create a

dangerous obstacle.

• Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.
• The packaging material should not be used as a toy.

Disposal

• Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation

so that the packaging may be reused.

• The European Directive 2012/19/EC relating to Waste

Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) states that
household appliances should not be disposed of using
the normal solid urban waste cycle. Exhausted appliances
should be collected separately in order to optimise the
cost of re-using and recycling the materials inside the
machine, while preventing potential damage to the
atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin
is marked on all products to remind the owner of their
obligations regarding separated waste collection.
For further information relating to the correct disposal of
household appliances, owners may contact the relevant
public authority or the local appliance dealer.

Saving energy and respecting the

environment

Saving water and energy

• Only begin a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While

waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant
odours using the Soak cycle (

see Wash cycles).

• Select a wash cycle which is suited to the type of crockery

and to the soil level of the crockery using the 

Table of

wash cycles:
- For dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco wash
cycle, which guarantees low energy and water
consumption levels.
- If the load is smaller than usual activate the Half load
option

*

 (

see Start-up and use).

• If your electricity supply contract gives details of electricity

saving time bands, run wash cycles during the periods
when a lower tariff is applied. The Delayed start

*

 button

(

see Start-up and use) helps you organise the wash cycles

accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents
containing enzymes

• We strongly recommend that you use detergents that do

not contain phosphates or chlorine, as these products are
harmful to the environment.

• Enzymes provide a particularly effective action at

temperatures around 50°C, and as a result detergents
containing enzymes can be used in conjunction with low-
temperature wash cycles in order to achieve the same
results as a normal 65°C wash cycle.

• To avoid wasting detergent, use the product in appropriate

quantities based on the manufacturer’s recommendations,
the hardness of the water and the soil level and quantity
of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable,
detergents contain substances which may alter the
balance of nature.
