*

 Only available in selected models.

This appliance was designed and manufactured 

in compliance with international safety standards 

The following information has been provided for 

safety reasons and should therefore be read 

carefully.
Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future 

reference. If the appliance is sold, given away or 

moved, please ensure the manual is kept with the 

machine.
Please read these instructions carefully: they contain 

important information on installation, use and safety.
This appliance is designed for domestic use or 

similar applications, for example:

- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other work 

environments;

- farmhouses;

- use by guests in hotels, motels and other residential 

settings;

- bed & breakfasts.

•  The appliance should not be operated by people

(including children) with reduced physical, 

sensory or mental capacities, or by inexperienced 

people who are not familiar with the product, 

unless supervision or instructions on how to 

use it are provided by someone who assumes 

responsibility for their safety.

•  An adult must supervise children at all times to

prevent them from playing 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 or maintaining the appliance. 

•  If the appliance breaks down, do not under any

circumstances touch the internal parts in an 

attempt to perform the repair work yourself. 

•  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 for children.

•  Disposal  of  packaging  material:  observe  local

legislation so that the packaging 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 re-

using and recycling rate of the materials inside the 

machine, while preventing potential damage to 

the environment and public health. The crossed-

out dustbin symbol is marked on all products to 

remind 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.

•  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 that 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  ensures  low  energy/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 

when electricity prices are lower. The Delayed 

Start button * 

(see Start-up and use)

 helps you 

organise the wash cycles accordingly.

•  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. 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, 

the  soil  level  and  the  quantity  of  crockery  to

be  washed.  Even  if  they  are  biodegradable,

detergents contain substances which may alter 

the balance of nature.
