safety standards The following information has 

been provided for safety reasons and should 

therefore be read carefully.

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for 

future reference. If the appliance is sold, given 

away or moved, please ensure the manual is kept 

with the machine.

Please read these instructions carefully: they

This appliance is designed for domestic use or 

similar applications, for example:

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other 

work environments;

General safety

•  The  appliance  should  not  be  operated  by 

people (including children) with reduced 

physical, sensory or mental capacities, or by 

inexperienced people who are not familiar with 

the product, unless supervision or instructions 

on how to use it are provided by someone who 

assumes responsibility for their safety.

•  An adult must supervise children at all times to 

prevent them from playing 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 or maintaining the 

appliance. 

•  If the appliance breaks down, do not under any 

circumstances touch the internal parts in an 

attempt to perform the repair work yourself. 

•  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 for children.

Disposal 

•  Disposal of packaging material: observe local 

legislation so that the packaging may be 

reused.

•  The  European  Directive  2012/19/EU  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 re-using and recycling rate of the 

materials inside the machine, while preventing 

potential damage to the environment and public 

health. The crossed-out dustbin symbol is 

marked on all products to remind the owners 

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 that 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 ensures low energy/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 

when electricity prices are lower. 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.  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,  the  soil  level  and  the  quantity 

of  crockery  to  be  washed.  Even  if  they  are 

biodegradable, detergents contain substances 

which may alter the balance of nature.
