Environmental concerns

This appliance is marked according to the European directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). WEEE contains both polluting substances (which can cause negative consequences for the environment) and basic componen- ts (which can be re-used).
It is important to have WEEE subjected to specific treatments, in order to remove and dispose properly all pollutants, and recover and recycle all materials. Individuals can play an important role in ensuring that WEEE does not become an environmental issue; it is essential to follow some basic rules:

WEEE should not be treated as household waste;
WEEE should be handed over to the relevant collection points managed by the municipality or by registered companies. In many countries, for large WEEE, home collection could be present.

In many countries, when you buy a new appliance, the old one may be returned to the retailer who has to collect it free of charge on a one-to-one basis, as long as the equipment is of equivalent type and has the same functions as the supplied equipment.

Hints and tips

How to get really good wash results

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, remove any remaining food (bones, shells, pieces of meat or vegetables, coffee grounds, skin of fruit, cigarette ash, tooth picks etc. to avoid blocking the filters, water outlet and washing arm nozzles.
There is no need to rinse the dishes before loading them into the dishwasher, as this leads to increased water and energy consumption and is not recommended.
If saucepans and oven dishes are encrusted with the remains of burnt or roast food, it is advisable to leave them to soak before washing.
Place the dishes face downwards.
Try to place the dishes in such a way that they are not touching one another. If they are loaded properly you will get better results.
After loading the dishes check that the washing arms can rotate freely.
Pans and other dishes that have particularly stubborn food particles or remnants of burnt food should be left to soak in water with dishwasher detergent.
To wash silver properly:
– rinse the silver immediately after use, especially if it has been used for mayonnaise, eggs, fish etc.
– do not sprinkle detergent onto it.
– keep it separate from other metals.

How to make savings.
Tips on how to save money and not damage the environment when using your appliance.

Achieve the best use of energy, water, detergent and time by using the recommended maximum load size.
Save up to 50% energy by washing a full load instead of 2 half loads.
If you want the dishwasher to give a complete wash, place the dishes in the dishwasher at the end of each meal and if necessary turn on the PREWASH cycle to soften the food remains and remove bigger particles of food from the new load of dishes. When the dishwasher is full start the complete wash cycle programme.
If the dishes are not very dirty or if the baskets are not very full select an ECO programme, following the instructions in the program list.
The most efficient programmes in terms of combined use of water and energy are usually the longer-lasting ones with lower temperature.
Washing in a dishwasher uses less energy and water compared to hand washing if the dishwasher is used following the manufacturer’s instructions and advice.

What not to wash.

It should be remembered that not all dishes are suitable for washing in a dishwasher. We advise against using the dishwasher to wash items in thermoplastic, cutlery with wooden or plastic handles, saucepans with wooden handles, items in aluminum, crystal leaded glass unless otherwise stated.
Certain decorations may fade. It is therefore a good idea before loading the whole batch to wash just one of the items first so as to be sure that others like it will not fade.
It is a good idea not to put silver cutlery with non-stainless steel handles into the dishwasher as there could be a chemical reaction between them.

When buying new crockery or cutlery always make sure that they are suitable for washing in a dishwasher.
Useful hints

In order to avoid any dripping from the top rack, remove the lower rack first.
If the dishes are to be left in the machine for some time, leave the door ajar, to let some air circulate and to improve the drying performance.
