6.1 Programme selection mode and user mode
When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter the user mode.
Settings available in the user mode:
• The level of water softener according
to the water hardness.
• Activation or deactivation of the rinse
aid empty notification.
• Activation or deactivation of AirDry.
As the appliance stores the saved
settings, there is no need to configure
it before every cycle.
How to set the programme selection mode
The appliance is in programme selection
mode when the programme indicator
is on and the display shows the
programme duration.
After activation, the appliance is in
programme selection mode by default. If

6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a negative effect on the washing results
and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.
Softening hard water
increases the consumption
of water and energy as well
as the programme duration.
The higher the level of water
softener, the higher the
consumption and the longer
the duration.
How to enter user mode
Make sure the appliance is in
programme selection mode.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and to help you protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, select a programme
with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets
do not touch or cover each other.
Only then can the water completely
reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in
1''). Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
• Select a programme according to the
type of load and the degree of soil.
offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.
10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
for dishwasher. Other products can
cause damage to the appliance.
End of the programme
When the programme is completed the
display shows 0:00.
All buttons are inactive except for the
on/off button.
1. Press the on/off button or wait for
the Auto Off function to
automatically deactivate the
appliance.
If you open the door before the
activation of Auto Off, the appliance
is automatically deactivated.
2. Close the water tap.
• In areas with hard and very hard water
we recommend to use plain
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• At least once a month run the
appliance with the use of appliance
cleaner which is particularly suitable
for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
