This appliance is not for professional use. Do not use the appliance outdoors. Do not store explosive or flammable substances (e.g. gasoline or aerosol cans) inside or near the appliance – risk of fire. The appliance must be used only to wash domestic dishes by the instructions in this manual. The water in the appliance is not potable. Use only detergent and rinse additives designed for an automatic dishwasher. When adding salt to the water softener, run one cycle immediately to avoid corrosion damage to internal parts. Store the detergent, rinse aid, and salt out of reach of children. Shut off the water supply and unplug or disconnect the power before servicing and maintenance. Disconnect the appliance in the event of any malfunction.
INSTALLATION
The appliance must be handled and installed by two or more persons – risk of injury. Use protective gloves to unpack and install – the risk of cuts. Connect the dishwasher to the water mains using only new hose-sets. The old hose-sets should not be reused. All hoses must be securely clamped to prevent them from coming loose during operation. All local waterboard regulations must be complied with. Water supply pressure 0.05 – 1.0 MPa. The appliance must be placed against the wall or built into furniture to limit access to its rear side. For dishwashers to have ventilation openings in the base, the openings must not be obstructed by a carpet.
Installation, including water supply (if any) electrical connections, and repairs must be carried out by a qualified technician. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically stated in the user manual. Keep children away from the installation site. After unpacking the appliance, make sure that it has not been damaged during transport. In the event of problems, contact the dealer or your nearest After-sales Service. Once installed, packaging waste (plastic, styrofoam parts, etc.) must be stored out of reach of children – the risk of suffocation. The appliance must be disconnected from the power supply before any installation operation – risk of electrical shock. During installation, make sure the appliance does not damage the power cable – risk of fire or electrical shock. Only activate the appliance when the installation has been completed.
If installing the dishwasher at the end of a row of units making the side panel accessible, the hinge area must be covered to avoid risk of injury. The inlet water temperature depends on the dishwasher model. If the installed inlet hose is marked „25°C Max”, the maximum allowed water temperature is 25°C. For all other models, the maximum allowed water temperature is 60°C. Do not cut hoses and, in the case of appliances fitted with a water stop system, do not immerse the plastic casing containing the inlet hose in water. If the hoses are not long enough, contact your local dealer.
Make sure the inlet and drain hoses are kink-free and are not crushed. Before using the appliance for the first time, check the water inlet and drain hose for leaks. Make sure that the four feet are stable and resting on the floor, adjusting them as required, and check that the dishwasher is perfectly leveled using a spirit level.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
- The rating plate is on the edge of the dishwasher door (visible when the door is open).
- It must be possible to disconnect the appliance from the power supply by unplugging it if the plug is accessible, or by a multi-pole switch installed upstream of the socket and the appliance must be earthed, in conformity with national electrical safety standards.
- Do not use extension leads, multiple sockets, or adapters. The electrical components must not be accessible to the user after installation. Do not use the appliance when you are wet or barefoot. Do not operate this appliance if it has a damaged power cable or plugs if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.
- If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with an identical one by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard – risk of electrical shock.
- If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlet, contact a qualified technician. Do not pull the power supply cable. Do not immerse the mains cord or plug in water. Keep the cord away from hot surfaces.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING : Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance operation. To avoid risk of personal injury use protective gloves (risk of lace-ration) and safety shoes (risk of contusion); be sure to handle by two persons (reduce load); never use steam cleaning equipment (risk of electric shock).

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
ECO program is suitable for cleaning normally soiled tableware, for this use,
it is the most efficient program in terms of its combined energy and water
consumption, and it is used to assess compliance with the EU Ecodesign
legislation.
Loading the household dishwasher up to the capacity indicated by the
manufacturer will contribute to energy and water savings. The manual pre-
rinsing of tableware items leads to increased water and energy consumption and
is not recommended. Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually
consumes less energy and water in the use phase than hand dishwashing when the
household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
