1)
This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cut-
lery 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)
This programme is suitable for washing a load with mixed soil. Place items with heavy soil in the lower
basket and with normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and temperature of the water in the lower
basket are higher than in the upper basket.
4)
With this programme, you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
5)
This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

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
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.

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.
• 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.

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.
Dirty filters and clogged
spray arms decrease the
washing results. Make a
check regularly and, if
necessary, clean them.
11.1 Cleaning the filters
The filter system is made of 3 parts.
1. Turn the filter (B) counterclockwise
and remove it.

3. Remove the flat filter (A).
4. Wash the filters.
8. Put back the filter (B) in the flat filter
(A). Turn it clockwise until it locks.
CAUTION!
An incorrect position of the
filters can cause bad
washing results and damage
to the appliance.
11.2 Cleaning the spray arms
Do not remove the spray arms. If the
holes in the spray arms are clogged,
remove remaining parts of soil with a thin
pointed object.
5. Make sure that there are no residues
of food or soil in or around the edge
of the sump.
6. Put back in place the flat filter (A).
Make sure that it is correctly
positioned under the 2 guides.
7. Reassemble the filters (B) and (C).

• Do not use abrasive products,
abrasive cleaning pads or solvents.
11.4 Internal cleaning
• Carefully clean the appliance,
including the rubber gasket of the
door, with a soft damp cloth.

programmes, these can leave
deposits of grease and limescale
inside the appliance. To prevent this,
we recommend to run long duration
programmes at least 2 times per
month.
• To maintain the performance of your
appliance at its best, we recommend
to use monthly a specific cleaning
product for dishwashers. Follow
carefully the instructions on the
packaging of the product.
