Keep this booklet carefully for future reference.
There are certain basic safety rules which are
valid for any domestic appliance. They are the
following:
- never touch the appliance when your hands
or feet are wet or damp
- do not use it when your feet are bare

supply socket by pulling the mains cable or
the machine itself
- do not leave the appliance exposed to the
elements (rain, sun etc)
- do not let children (or others incapable of

supervision
- make sure that the plug fitted to the
machine is compatible with the power
supply socket. If it is not, get a suitably
qualified person to fit the correct type, and to
make sure that the cables to the mains
socket are able to cope with the power
rating of the appliance
- ensure that the dishwasher does not crush
power cables
- if there is a water softening device installed
in the home there is no need to add salt to
the water softener fitted in the dishwasher
- the dishwasher is designed for normal
kitchen utensils.
Objects that have been contamined by
petrol, paint, traces of steel or iron,
corrosive chemicals, acids or alkalis must
not be washed in the dishwasher
- if you wish to dispose of an old dishwasher
be careful to remove the door to eliminate
the risk of children becoming trapped inside it
- the dishwasher has been made from
materials which can be recycled so that it
can be disposed of in an environmentally
friendly way
- in general it is not advisable to use
adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension
cables
- Water left in the machine or on the dishes at
the end of the wash programme should not
be drunk.
- Leaning or sitting on the open door of the
dishwasher could cause it to tip over.
- Cutlery is washed best if it is placed in the
basket with the handles downwards;
however, to avoid any injury from blades or
sharp points, it can be placed with the
handles upwards.
- Should it be necessary the replacement
of the supply cord, call the Service
Department.
- This appliance should only designed for
domestic use.
If the appliance breaks down or stops working
properly, switch it off, turn off the water supply
and do not tamper with it. Repair work should
only be carried out by an approved service
agent and only genuine spare parts should be
fitted. Any failure to follow the above advice
may have serious consequences for the safety
of the appliance.
The waterblock system has been designed to
improve the safety of your appliance,
particularly when the machine is left
unattended.
The waterblock system actually prevents
flooding which might be caused by a machine
malfunction or as a result of a fracture on the
pipes.
How does waterblock work
The sump located in the base of the
appliance collects any possible water leakage
and operates a sensor which subsequently
activates a valve placed under the water tap
and stops any water from the supply even with
the tap fully opened. If the box containing the
electrical parts is damaged, remove the plug
from the socket immediately.

Fig. 1
To ensure perfect operation of the safety system, box “A” with the hose, should be connected to the
tap as shown in Figure “1”. The inlet hose should not be cut, as it contains parts under load. If the
hose is not long enough for correct connection, it must be replaced with a longer one. The hose can
be obtained from your Service Agent.
