Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Use the Eco Wash programme.
The Eco Wash programme is en­ergy-efficient and environmentally friendly. →"Programmes", Page18

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.

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 together with "Rinse aid" →Page25. 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 stains, e.g. tea or ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's in­structions for each detergent.

Powder detergent Powder detergent is
recommended for shorter "Programmes" →Page18. The dosage can be adjus­ted to the level of soil­ing.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent
works faster and is re­commended for shorter "Programmes" →Page18 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
programming 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" →Page52.
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, please also use "Rinse aid" →Page25.

Combined detergents

Besides conventional separate deter­gents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products not only contain 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.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's in­structions for each detergent.
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.
Detergent Description
Hand washing-up liquid
Detergent con­taining chlorine
Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased froth­ing and damage the appli­ance.
Chlorine residue on table­ware may present a risk to health.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder or liquid detergent.

Information on detergents

levels of active agents or com­pletely dispense with certain sub­stances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here.
¡ Set the rinse aid system to the
separate or combined detergent in use.
¡ Follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions for each detergent.
¡ 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 refill indicator
lights up, washing programmes will still 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.

Adding detergent

1. To open the detergent dispenser,
press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry deter-
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. 20ml–25ml 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.

Tableware

Tableware
Tableware
Only clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers.
Note:Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.
Damage to glass and table­ware
Avoid damage to glass and table­ware.
Cause Recommendation
The following table­ware is not dish­washer-safe: ¡ Items of cutlery
and tableware made from wood
¡ Decorated glass-
ware, antique and hand-crafted table­ware
¡ Plastic parts not
resistant to heat
¡ Tableware made
from copper or tin
¡ Tableware soiled
with ash, wax, lub­ricating grease or paint
¡ Very small items of
tableware
Glass and tableware was not dishwasher­safe.
The chemical com­position of the deter­gent causes damage.
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic clean­ing agents, in particu­lar commercial or in­dustrial cleaning agents, are not suit­able for dishwashers in conjunction with aluminium.
Only put tableware in the dishwasher if it is marked as dish­washer-safe by the manufacturer.
Only put glasses and china in the dish­washer if it is marked as dishwasher-safe by the manufacturer.
Use a detergent marked as gentle on tableware by the man­ufacturer.
If you are using highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, in particular commercial or indus­trial cleaning agents, do not put aluminium parts in the dish­washer interior.
29
aus Tableware
Cause Recommendation
The water temperat­ure of the programme is too high.
Select a programme with lower temperat­ures. After the programme has ended, take glass­ware and cutlery out of the appliance without delay.

Arrange tableware

Arrange the tableware correctly to optimise the dishwashing result and prevent damage to both the appli­ance and tableware.
Tips
¡ Using the appliance allows you to
save energy and water compared to washing-up by hand.
¡ See our website for examples of
how to load your appliance effi­ciently, free of charge.
¡ To save energy and water, load
the machine with the number of place settings specified.
¡ For better washing and drying res-
ults, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so the water can run off.
2. Observe the following when arran-
ging tableware: – Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be.
– To prevent damage to table-
ware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over.
– To prevent injury, arrange cut-
lery with the points and sharp edges downwards.
– Position containers with the
openings facing down so no wa­ter can collect in them.
– Do not block the spray arms -
make sure that they can turn freely.
– Do not place small parts in the
tablet collecting tray and do not block it with tableware so as not to obstruct the lid of the deter­gent dispenser.
1. Remove large remnants of food
from your tableware. To save resources, do not pre-
rinse tableware under running wa­ter.
