5. PROGRAMME SELECTION

5.1 MY TIME

Using MY TIME selection bar, you can select a suitable wash cycle based on programme duration, ranging from 30 minutes to four hours.
A. Quick is the shortest programme
(30min) suitable for washing a load with fresh and light soil.
B. 1h is a programme suitable for
washing a load with fresh and lightly dried-on soil.
C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable
for washing and drying normally soiled items.
D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable
for washing and drying heavily soiled items.
E. ECO is the longest programme (4h)
offering the most efficient use of energy and water consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.
5.2 EXTRAS
You can adjust the programme selection to your needs by activating EXTRAS.

ExtraPower

ExtraPower improves the washing results of the selected programme. The option increases the wash temperature and duration.

GlassCare

GlassCare provides special care for a delicate load. The option prevents rapid changes in the wash temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C. This protects glassware in particular from damaging.

5.3 AUTO Sense

The AUTO Sense program automatically adjusts the wash cycle to the type of load.
The appliance senses the degree of soil and the amount of dishes in the baskets. It adjusts the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.

6.1 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have
Page 11

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

Regardless of the type of detergent used, set the proper water hardness level to keep the salt refill indicator active.
Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water.

6.2 The rinse aid level

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes without streaks and stains. It is automatically released during the hot rinse phase. It is possible to set the released quantity of rinse aid.
When rinse aid chamber is empty, the rinse aid indicator is on notifying to refill rinse aid. If the drying results are satisfactory while using multi-tablets only, it is possible to deactivate the dispenser and the indicator. However, for best drying performance, always use rinse aid and keep the rinse aid indicator active.
To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0A.

6.3 End sound

You can activate an acoustic signal that sounds when the programme is completed.
Page 12

Acoustic signals sound also when a malfunction of the appliance occurs. It is not possible to deactivate these signals.

6.4 AirDry

AirDry improves the drying results. The appliance door opens automatically during the drying phase and remains ajar.
AirDry is automatically activated with all programmes.
CAUTION!
Do not try to close the appliance door within 2 minutes after automatic opening. This can cause damage to the appliance.
CAUTION!
If children have access to the appliance, we advise to deactivate AirDry. The automatic opening of the door may pose a danger.
When AirDry opens the door, Beam-on-Floor might not be completely visible. To see if the programme is complete, look at the control panel.

6.5 Key tones

The buttons on the control panel make a click sound when you press them. You can deactivate this sound.

9.1 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.
ECO offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.

9.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent designed for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water, we recommend to use basic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with long programmes.
Page 17
ENGLISH 17
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.
9.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start using separately detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete the following steps:
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the Quick programme. Do not
add detergent and do not put dishes in 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.
9.4 Before starting a
programme
Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
• Do not wash in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Remove large food residues from dishes.
• Soak cookware with burnt-on food before washing it in the appliance.
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.
• Move the upper basket upwards to accommodate large items in the lower basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

9.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before
you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower
basket, then from the upper basket.
After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.
