Precautions, advice and
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
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.
