Precautions and advice

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.
