Environmental protection and saving energy en
Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying lets you save
energy.
Zeolite is a mineral that can store
moisture and heat energy and then
release them again.
During dishwashing heat energy is
used to heat up the washing water
and dry the mineral.
During the drying phase moisture
from the interior of the dishwasher is
stored in the mineral and heat energy
is released. The heat energy is blown
out into the interior of the dishwasher
with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying.
Zeolith drying therefore saves a great
deal of energy.
Tip:To avoid impairing Zeolith drying
performance, do not position tableware parts directly in front of the intake opening or the blow opening of
the Zeolith container.
Do not position heat-sensitive tableware parts directly in front of the blow
opening of the Zeolith container.
→"Appliance", Page16
AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the rinsing
water. You can save water with the
AquaSensor.
Use of the AquaSensor depends on
the programme. If the soiling level is
high, the rinsing water is drained off
and replaced with fresh water. If the
soiling level is lower, the rinsing water is used in the next wash cycle, so
reducing water consumption by 3-6
litres. In the automatic programmes
the temperature and run time are additionally adjusted to the level of soiling.
Sensors
The sensors adjust the programme
sequence and strength in the automatic programmes depending on the
level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity
settings that can be changed in the
basic settings.
Sensor setting Description
SE:00 Optimum setting for a
mixed load and heavily
soiled tableware. Saves
both energy and water.
SE:01 Adjusts the programme
strength for effective removal of food remnants
even with low soiling
levels. Energy and water
consumption are adjusted
accordingly.
SE:02 Adjusts the programme
strength for difficult conditions of use, e.g. stubborn
dried-on food remnants.
Recommended setting
when using organic or ecological detergents containing low levels of active
agents. Energy and water
consumption are adjusted
accordingly.

Detergent
Detergent
Find out which detergents are suitable for your appliance.
Suitable detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable
for dishwashers. Both separate and
combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding
"Special salt" →Page28 and "Rinse
aid" →Page30 separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
enzymes. Enzymes break down
starch and remove protein. Oxygenbased bleaching agents are generally
used to remove coloured marks, e.g.
tea or ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's instructions for each detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are suitable for all
cleaning functions and do
not need to be measured
out.
With shorter "Programmes" →Page20 tabs
sometimes do not dissolve
entirely and leave residues
of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.
Powder detergent
Powder detergent is recommended for shorter
"Programmes" →Page20.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works
faster and is recommended for shorter "Programmes" →Page20
without PreRinse.
Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite
the detergent dispenser
being closed. This is not a
fault and is non-critical if
you remember the following:
¡ Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreRinse.
¡ Do not select timer pro-
gramming for starting
the programme.
The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.
Tip:Suitable detergents are available
online via our website or from "Customer Service" →Page61.
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products
that do not contain components other
than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent.
31
en Detergent
With powder and liquid detergent the
dosage can be individually adjusted
to the level of soiling of the tableware.
For better washing and drying results
and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use "Special salt" →Page28 and "Rinse aid"
→Page30.
Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate detergents, a number of products are
available with additional functions.
These products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and salt replacement substances (3in1) and,
depending on the combination (4in1,
5in1,...), additional components such
as glass protection or stainless steel
cleaner.
According to manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to a water hardness of 26°E.
With a water hardness above 26°E
you will need to add special salt and
rinse aid. For the best washing and
drying results we recommend using
special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17°E. If you are using combined detergent, the washing
programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible washing
and drying result.
Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could
cause damage to the appliance or
present a risk to health.

Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents
in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "organic" or
"ecological" (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower
levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain substances. The cleaning effect may
be restricted here.
¡ Set the rinse aid and the water
softening system to the separate
detergent or combined detergent
in use.
¡ According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used
up to a certain water hardness,
usually 26°E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and
drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hardness of 17°E.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch de-
tergents in a water-soluble pouch
with dry hands and only ever place
them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special
salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly
with combined detergents.
¡ The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will
generally get better results using
rinse aid.
¡ Use tablets with a special drying
performance.

gent dispenser.
If you are using tablets, one is
enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position.
If you are using powder or liquid
detergent, follow the manufacturer's instructions and quantities
for dosage in the detergent dispenser.
20ml–25ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly
less than the amount of detergent
specified is usually sufficient.
3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
a The lid clicks into position.
a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time
during the programme. Powder or
liquid detergent will spread around
the washing tank and dissolve
there. Tablets will fall into the tablet
collecting tray and dissolve in the
right dosage. In order to ensure
that tablets can dissolve evenly, do
not place any other objects in the
tablet collecting tray.
Tip:If you use powder detergent and
select a program with pre-rinse, you
can also add a little detergent to the
interior door of the appliance.

Tips on appliance care
Follow the tips on appliance care to
make sure your appliance functions
properly at all times.
Action Benefit
Wipe the door seals,
the front of the dishwasher and the control panel regularly using a damp cloth and
washing-up liquid.
If the appliance is not
going to be used for a
while, leave the door
slightly ajar.
This ensures the parts
of the appliance will
remain clean and hygienic.
This will prevent unpleasant odours.
Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food
and limescale, can cause your appliance to malfunction. To avoid such
faults and reduce odours, we recommend cleaning your appliance at regular intervals.
Machine Care combined with machine care products and machine
cleaners is the right programme for
the care of your appliance.
