1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing one of Fagor’s products. To use this
dishwasher correctly and safely, please read this manual carefully.
The manual is divided into sections giving you a step-by-step guide
to all your appliance’s functions. The text is easy to understand and
is complete with detailed illustrations. This user-friendly manual will
provide answers to all your questions of the use of the dishwasher.
Before using this dishwasher, carefully read chapter 2 “Important
safety instruction”.
For any other information about use and maintenance of the
dishwasher, read the enclosed general manual carefully.
This manual comprises the following sections:
INTRODUCTION: general information about the manual.
WARNINGS: a list of warnings concerning safety and use of the
dishwasher.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: for the qualified technician who
must carry out the installation, hook-up and testing of the appli-
ance.
USER INSTRUCTIONS: instructions on using the dishwasher pro-
grams and information about all the dishwasher functions.
Nomenclature of figures and tables:
The progressive number of each figure is shown in the bottom right-
hand corner of the relative box. An example of a progressive number
is “Fig. 4-01”, where the first number (4) indicates the section to
which the figure belongs, while the second number (01) indicates
the progressive number of the figure in section 4 (Fig. 4-01 is the
first figure in section 4). The tables are numbered in the same way,
bearing in mind that “Table” is used instead of “Fig.” (e.g.: Table 4-01
is the first table in section 4). If a table occupies more than one page,
a letter is added after the progressive number (e.g.: “Table 4-01a”,
Table 4-01b”).
