The 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 according to 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 carry out 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.

• The packaging material should not be used as a toy:

it can become a choking or suffocation hazard.

If  your  family  includes  children:

• DO NOT allow children to play with the appliance or

tamper with its controls.

• Keep detergents and rinse aids away from children.

• Keep children away from the open door of a

dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left

inside.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical

and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old

household electrical appliances must not be disposed of

in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old

appliances must be collected separately in order to

optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they

contain and reduce the impact on human health and the

environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on

the product reminds you of your obligation, that when

you dispose of the appliance it must be separately

collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or

retailer for information concerning the correct disposal
of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the

environment

Saving water and energy

• Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full.

While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent

unpleasant odours with 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 

Wash cycle table

:

- 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.

Precautions and advice

Only available in selected models.
