F7 is an overheating entry; the manual says to contact service.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so F7 / F07 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F7 reports overheating; the manual says to contact service.
Bertazzoni’s entry for F7 (also F07) is brief: the word “Overheating” in the fault column, the words “Contact service” in the action column, and nothing more. No cause, reset or checklist is printed.
What the wording leaves out
Something inside the dishwasher got hotter than intended. Which component is not specified, so the heater, the water and the electronics are all left unblamed here.
Handling a hot and possibly live machine
Stop the program.
Remove power at the wall plug or the breaker.
Wait before opening the door; steam and hot dishes should be expected once it is open.
Keep the dishwasher unpowered until service has inspected it.

Common questions
Should I worry about fire? The manual mentions nothing of the kind. It files overheating under service, and unplugging is a sensible precaution.
Does waiting for the machine to cool reset it? A step like that is not printed for F7, so it should not be assumed.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
