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.
