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.
