circumstances touch the internal parts in an attempt 
to carry out the repair work yourself. 

•  Do not lean or sit on the open door of the appliance:

dishwasher, there could still be some detergent left 
inside.

Disposal of old electrical appliances

The  European  Directive  2012/19/EU  on  Waste 
Electrical and Electronic Equipment (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.

Saving energy and respecting the 

environment

Saving water and energy

•  Only start a wash cycle when the dishwasher is full. 

While waiting for the dishwasher to be filled, prevent 
unpleasant odours with the Soak cycle (see Wash 
Cycles).

•  Select  a  wash  cycle  that  is  suited  to  the  type  of 

crockery and to the soil level of the crockery using 

the Wash cycle table:

  - for dishes with a normal soil level, use the Eco 

wash cycle, which guarantees low energy and water 
consumption levels.

  - if the load is smaller than usual activate the Half 

load* option (see Start-up and use).

•  If  your  electricity  supply  contract  gives  details  of 

electricity saving time bands, run wash cycles 
during the periods when a lower tariff is applied. 

The  Delayed  start*  button  (see  Start-up  and  use) 

helps you organise the wash cycles accordingly.

Phosphate-free and chlorine-free detergents 
containing enzymes

•  We strongly recommend that you use detergents 

that do not contain phosphates or chlorine, as 

these products are harmful to the environment.
