1)
With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery
and cutlery with normal soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).
2)
The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically ad-
justs the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
3)
With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
4)
This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise.
Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

10. HINTS AND TIPS
10.1 General
The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, use the prewash
programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make
sure that the dishes can be
completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not
touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'',
''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to
the type of load and degree of soil.
With the ECO programme you have
the most efficient use of water and
energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.
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.
• In areas with hard and very hard water

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.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according
to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid empty
