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

Error messages.
Your dishwasher is equipped
with a safety system which is
able to detect any operating
anomalies.
These anomalies or faults are
signalled by several codes
consisting of letters and numbers
that flash up on the display. Make
a note of the error code that
appears, turn the appliance off,
turn off the water tap and call for
technical assistance.
Tap off alarm
If you have forgotten to turn on
the water tap, your appliance will
remind you with a long series of
prolonged beeps and the
wording H2O will flash up on the
display. Turn the tap on and the
wash cycle will start up after a
few minutes.
If you are not there when this
signal appears, the appliance will
switch to alarm mode and the
code AL06 will flash on the
display.
Turn the display off by keeping
the Stand-by button
pressed, check that there is
water in the mains supply and
turn on the tap; turn the display
back on by keeping the same
button pressed again.
Repeat the programming
operations and start the
dishwasher by pressing the
START button.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and
the code AL05 is flashing, this
means the filter is clogged by
large particles of food residue.
Turn the display off by keeping
the Stand-by button pressed
then clean the filter thoroughly
and reposition it in its seat as
illustrated on page 21. Then turn
it back on. Repeat the
programming operations and
Troubleshooting
start the dishwasher by pressing
the START button.
Water leak alarm
If this indicator light is
flashing, this means the
appliance is blocked due to a
water leak. Turn off the water
tap, 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.
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.
Never call upon the
services of
unauthorised
technicians and always
refuse spare parts that

specialised technician with
original Ariston guaranteed spare
