Environmental protection and saving energy
Environmental protection
and saving energy
Help protect the environment by using your appliance in a way that conserves resources and by disposing of
reusable materials properly.
Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled.
▶
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separately.
Information about current disposal
methods are available from your
specialist dealer or local authority.
Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less electricity and
less water.
Use the Eco50° programme.
The Eco50° programme is energy-efficient and environmentally
friendly.
→"Programmes", Page17
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.
Installation and connection
Installation and connection
To ensure proper operation, connect
the appliance to the power and water

Programmes en
You can find an overview of the programmes that can be selected here.
Different programmes, which can be
found on the control panel of your
appliance, are available depending
on the appliance configuration.
The running time may vary depending on the programme selected. The
running time depends on the water
temperature, the quantity of tableware, the level of soiling and the Ad-
ted. The running time will change if
the rinse aid system is switched off
or rinse aid needs to be added.
The consumption values can be
found in the quick reference guide.
The consumption values relate to
normal conditions and a water hardness of 9-20°°E. Different influencing factors such as water temperature or pipe pressure may result in
deviations.
