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 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 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.
