Precautions and general recommendations

1. Packing
The packaging materials are 100% recyclable and marked with the recycling symbol	.

2. Removing the packaging and inspecting the contents

After unpacking, make sure that the dishwasher is undamaged and that the door closes correctly. If in doubt, contact a qualified technician or your local retailer.

3. Before using the dishwasher for the first time

-The appliance is designed to operate at ambient temperatures of between 5°C and 45°C.

-This dishwasher has been tested by the manufacturer to ensure it functions correctly. Such testing may leave slight drips/water marks which will disappear with the first wash.

4. Energy and water savings

-Do not rinse crockery under running water.

-Always fully load the dishwasher before running it or select the “Half load/Multizone” option (if available).

-If ecological energy sources are available such as solar panel heating, heat pumps or centralised heating systems, the appliance may be connected to the hot water mains up to a maximum temperature of 60°C. Make sure the water inlet hose is of the correct type (“70°C Max” or “90°C Max”).

5. Child safety

-Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children.

-Children must not be allowed to play with the dishwasher.

-Store the detergent, rinse aid and salt out of the reach of children.

6. Safety warnings

-The appliance is not intended for use by children or physically or mentally impaired persons, unless adequately supervised by a responsible adult capable of guaranteeing safe use of the appliance.

-Do not operate the appliance in the open air.

-Do not store flammable materials in close proximity to the dishwasher.

-The water in the dishwasher is not potable.

-Do not use solvents inside the dishwasher: risk of explosion!

-Be careful when the door is open: risk of tripping!

-The open dishwasher door can only support the weight of the loaded rack when pulled out. Do not rest objects on the open door or sit or stand on it.

-Sharp items that might cause injury (e.g. knives), must be placed in the cutlery basket with the sharp end facing downwards. Long-handled utensils must be arranged horizontally in the upper rack, with the sharp end facing away from the front of the appliance.

-Before cleaning or carrying out maintenance, disconnect the mains plug and turn off the water tap; also in the event of any malfunction.

-Repairs and technical modifications must be carried out exclusively by a qualified technician.

7. Resistance to frost

If the appliance is placed in surroundings exposed to the risk of frost, it must be drained completely. Turn off the water tap, remove the inlet and outlet hoses, and let all the water drain away. Make sure there is at least 1 kg of dissolved regeneration salt in the salt reservoir, to protect the appliance from temperatures of up to -20°C. When the program resumes, an error message may be indicated (see page 6).

CANCEL/Off indicator blinks 6 times - the appliance must remain at an ambient temperature of min. 5°C for at least 24 hours.

After eliminating these faults, RESET the appliance (see chapter “What to do if...”).
