might entail.
• Children must not play with the appliance.
• It is the user's responsibility to clean and
maintain the appliance. Children should never

• The appliance was designed for domestic
use inside the home and is not intended for
commercial or industrial use.
• The appliance must be used 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 at the end of every cycle and before
cleaning the appliance or carrying out any

Disposal
•
To dispose of any packaging materials, follow
local legislation so that the packagings may
be reused.
• The European Directive 2012/19/EU 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 reusing and recycling the
materials inside the machine, while preventing
potential damage to the atmosphere and
public health. The crossed-out dustbin symbol
shown on all products reminds the owners 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 with the Soak
cycle
(if available, see Wash Cycles).
• Select a wash cycle that is suited to the type of
crockery and to the soil level 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 Special wash cycles and
options, if available)
.
• If your electricity supply contract gives details
of electricity-saving time bands, run the wash
cycles when electricity prices are lower. The
Delayed Start option can help you organise
the wash cycles accordingly
(see Special wash
cycles and options, if available).
