DO NOT allow children to play with the appliance or tamper with its controls.

Keep children away from the open door of a dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left inside.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances must not be disposed of in the normal unsorted municipal waste stream. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimise the recovery and recycling of the materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment. The crossed out "wheeled bin" symbol on the product reminds you of your obligation, that when you dispose of the appliance it must be separately collected.

Consumers should contact their local authority or retailer for information concerning the correct disposal of their old appliance.

Saving energy and respecting the environment

Saving water and energy

Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent unpleasant odours with 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 Wash cycle table:

-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.

*Only available in selected models.
