Precautions and advice

This appliance was designed and manufactured in EN 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 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 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 perform 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.

•Keep detergent and rinse aid out of reach of children.

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

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 using the Soak cycle (see Wash cycles).

•Select a wash cycle which 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 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.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents containing enzymes

•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, and 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 and the soil level and quantity of crockery to be washed. Even if they are biodegradable, detergents contain substances which may alter the balance of nature.

Disposal

•Disposal of packaging materials: observe local legislation so that the packaging may be reused.

•The European Directive 2002/96/EC 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 re-using and recycling the materials inside the machine, while preventing potential damage to the atmosphere and to public health. The crossed-out dustbin is marked on all products to remind the owner 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.
