Before installing and first using the dishwasher, read this instruction booklet carefully, including  its hints
and warnings. To avoid unnecessary mistakes and accidents, it is important to ensure that all people using
the dishwasher are thoroughly familiar with its operation and safety features. Save these instructions and
make sure they remain with the dishwasher if it is moved or sold, so that everyone using it through its life
can be properly informed on appliance use and safety.

Installation and servicing

●

All installation and service work done on the product
must be carried out by a qualified technician. Work 
performed by persons with inadequate knowledge may
adversely affect the satisfactory functioning of the 
product and may cause personal injury or damage. 
Before any work is carried out on the dishwasher, it 
must be isolated from the electrical supply, by un-
plugging the power cord or removing the fuse.

●

Water connection shall be made via an easily accessible
stopcock.

●

The power cord must be plugged into an earthed 
socket, which need to be easily accessible. Permanent
installation must only be carried out by an authorised 
electrician or competent person.

●

If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced 
by a special cord or assembly available from the 
manufacturer or its service agent.

●

Make sure that the power cord is not nipped or other-
wise damaged and that the hoses do not get crushed 
or kinked when moving the dishwasher in connection 
with installation or cleaning etc.

●

Servicing and possible repairs must be carried out by 
a service company authorised by the supplier. Use 
only spare parts supplied by these. Never try to repair 
the dishwasher yourself.

Child Safety

●

The dishwasher should be used by adults only. Do not
let children play with the controls or other parts of it.

●

Remember that the plastic bags included in the 
packaging can be fatal playthings for small children.

●

Keep all detergents in safe place out of children´s 
reach.

●

Prevent children from sitting, swinging or standing 
on the open door.

During Use

●

This dishwasher is designed solely for washing house-
hold utensils suitable for machine washing. Using it for
other purposes could lead to physical injury or damage
to property and invalidate the guarantee.

●

Avoid opening the door while the dishwasher is running,
since hot steam may escape.

●

Only use detergent specifically designed for use in 
dishwashers.

●

Do not place sharp knives with their points upwards. 
It is much safer to lay them horizontally in the basket.

●

Ensure that the door of the dishwasher is always closed
when it is not being loaded or unloaded. In this way you
will avoid anybody injuring themselves on the open door.

●

If you take any dishes out of the dishwasher before the
end of the dishwashing cycle, it is extremely important
to rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove
any remaining detergent.

●

The water safety system protects against water damages.
The following requirements must be fulfilled:

- The dishwasher must be electrically connected when

it is shut off.

- The dishwasher must be correctly installed.

- Always shut off the water supply whenever the dish-

washer is left unattended for an extended period.

●

In the event of flooding or leakage, shut off the water 
supply immediately by closing the stopcock and dis-
connect the power supply by unplugging the power cord
or removing the fuse. When removing the electrical 
plug, grip the plug, not the lead.
