N.B.: 

Should any of the situations occur and should the machine give a bad washing performance,

it is necessary to remove the deposits from the dishes by hand since the final drying cycle hardens the
deposits which a second wash in the machine would not be able to remove.

If the malfunction continues contact a Service Centre quoting the serial number of the dishwasher.
This is found on the plaque on the inside of the dishwasher door at the top or on the guarantee. 
This information will make it possible to take more effective action more quickly.

The manufacturers decline any responsability for any printing mistakes in this instruction booklet. They also reserve the right to modify their
own appliances as necessary without altering the essential characteristics.
