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
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 2002/96/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 manufacturers
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.
* Only available in selected models.
