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

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 "G"
flashing rapidly.
Take a note of which lights are
flashing, turn the appliance off
and call for technical assist-
ance.
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 appliance will be
blocked automatically and
indicator lights 2 and 3 (wash and
rinses) will flash rapidly. Turn the
appliance off at the ON-OFF but-
ton, turn on the water tap and wait
approximately 20 seconds before
turning the appliance back on. Re-
select a wash cycle as indicated in
the "Selecting the wash cycle"
paragraph and the appliance will
start.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and
indicator lights 1 (pre-wash)
and 3 (rinses) flash rapidly, this
means the filter is clogged by
large particles of food residue.
Turn the appliance off, clean
the filter thoroughly and repo-
sition it in its seat as illustrated
on page 21. Then turn it back
on. The selected wash cycle will
start up again.
Troubleshooting
Water load solenoid valve
malfunction alarm.
If indicator light 2 (wash) flashes
rapidly, TURN the dishwasher OFF
AND BACK ON AGAIN after one
minute. If the alarm persists, first
turn off the water tap to avoid any
flooding and then cut off the
electricity supply and call for
technical assistance.
You have checked
everything, but the
dishwasher still doesn't
work and the problem
persists?
Call an authorised service centre
near you and remember to mention:
 the type of malfunction
 the model mark (Mod.) and the
serial number (S/N.) indicated on
the rating plate located on the inner
door, to one side.
I only want an authorised
specialised technician with
original Ariston guaranteed spare
parts
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.
Never call upon
the services of
unauthorised
technicians and
always refuse
spare parts that
are not originals.
