Safety within your home
Your dishwasher was built in accordance with the strictest international safety regulations. They protect you and your family. Read the
instructions and information contained in this manual: they will provide you with useful hints as to installation, use and maintenance
safety. To avoid nasty surprises.
1. Dispose of the packaging
material carefully (follow
the instructions on how to
divide your rubbish up
provided by your local
Council)
2. After removing the
packaging, check to make
sure your appliance is
intact. If in doubt, contact
a qualified professional.
3. Your dishwasher must only
be used by adults and for
washing household dishes,
according to the
instructions included in
this manual. Do not touch
the appliance with wet
hands or feet or barefoot.
4. We discourage the use of
extension leads and multi-
ple plugs. If the electricity
supply wire is not long
enough, then have it
replaced with one of the
correct length and
remember that it should be
free of bends or dangerous
kinks.
5. If the appliance is not
operating properly or if
maintenance operations
are necessary, disconnect
the dishwasher from the
mains power supply
(unplug it!).
6. Keep children away from
the dishwasher when it is
open and keep detergents
out of their reach.
7. Your dishwasher is not to
be installed outdoors, not
even if the area is covered
by a roof: it is extremely
dangerous to leave it
exposed to rain and
thunderstorms.
8. Do not touch the heating
element during or straight
after a wash cycle.
9. Do not lean or sit on the
door when it is open, as
this could overturn the
dishwasher.
10. If the appliance
malfunctions, turn off the
water inlet tap and
disconnect the plug from
the wall socket. Then try
consulting the section
entitled "I you have a
problem, read this". If you
cannot resolve the
problem, then call the
service centre.
11. Once taken out of use,
appliances must be made
inoperable: cut the power
supply wire and damage
the door lock.
12. 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

Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped
with a safety system which is
able to detect any operating
anomalies. These anomalies
are reported by one or two
wash cycle indicator lights "E"
flashing rapidly. Take a note of
which lights are flashing, turn
the appliance off and call for
technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn the
water tap on, your appliance
will remind you of this by
sounding a few short beeps for
a few minutes. Turn the tap on
and your appliance will start up
again after a few minutes. Were
you to be absent when these
beeps are sounded, the appli-
ance will be blocked automati-
cally and wash cycle 4 and 5
indicator lights (rapid wash
and soak) will flash rapidly.
Turn the appliance off at the
ON-OFF button, turn on the
water tap and wait approxi-
mately 21 seconds before turn-
ing the appliance back on, then
repeat the programming opera-
tions and start the appliance by
pressing the Start button.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and
wash cycle 3 and 5 indicator
lights (eco and soak) flash rap-
idly, this means the filter is
clogged by large particles of
food residue. Turn the appli-
ance off, clean the filter thor-
oughly and reposition it in its
seat as illustrated on page 20.
Then turn the appliance back
on. Repeat the programming
operations and start the dish-
washer by pressing the Start
button.
Troubleshooting

If indicator light 4 (Rapid) flashes

sists, first turn off the water tap to
avoid any flooding and then cut
off the electricity supply and call
for technical assistance.
