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 mul-
tiple 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

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 "M" 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 min-
utes. Were you to be absent when
these beeps are sounded, the appli-
ance will be blocked automatically
and wash cycle 2 and 3 indicator
lights (daily and soak) will flash
rapidly. Turn the appliance off at
the ON-OFF button, turn on the
water tap and wait approximately
20 seconds before turning the ap-
pliance back on.
Re-select a wash cycle as indi-
cated in the "Selecting the wash
cycle" paragraph and the appliance
will start.
Clogged filter alarm
If the appliance is blocked and
wash cycle1 and 3 indicator lights
(intensive and soak) flash rapidly,
this means the filter is clogged by
large particles of food residue. Turn
the appliance off, clean the filter
thoroughly and reposition it in its
seat as illustrated on page 21. Then
turn the appliance back on.
Re-select a wash cycle as indi-
cated in the "Selecting the wash
cycle" paragraph and the appliance
will start.
Water load solenoid valve
malfunction alarm.
Troubleshooting
If indicator light 2 (normal) 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.
Never call upon the
services of
unauthorised
technicians and always
refuse spare parts that
are not originals.
(WEEE), requires that
old household electrical
appliances must not be
disposed of in the normal
unsorted municipal
waste stream. Old
appliances must be
collected separately in
order to optimise the
recovery and recycling
of the materials they
contain and reduce the
impact on human health
and the environment.
The crossed out
"wheeled bin" symbol on
the product reminds you
of your obligation, that
when you dispose of the
appliance it must be
separately collected.
Consumers should
contact their local
authority or retailer for
information concerning
the correct disposal of
their old appliance.
