1)With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery 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 adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.

3)With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

4)With this programme you can quickly rinse dishes to prevent remains of food to bond on dishes and odours to form in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.

5)This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

6. SETTINGS

6.1 Programme selection mode and user mode

When the appliance is in programme selection mode it is possible to set a programme and to enter the user mode.

In user mode, the following settings can be changed:

•The level of the water softener according to the water hardness.

•The activation or deactivation of the rinse aid empty notification.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a detrimental 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 advise you on the hardness of the water in your area. It is important to set the right

level of the water softener to assure good washing results.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General

The following hints will ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and also help to protect the environment.

•Remove larger residues of food from the dishes into the waste bin.

•Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed, use the prewash programme (if available) or select a programme with a prewash phase.

•Always use the whole space of the baskets.

•When loading the appliance, make sure that the dishes can be completely reached and washed by the water released from the spray arm nozzles.

Make sure that items do not touch or cover each other.

•You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''3in1'', ''4in1'', ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions written on the packaging.

•Select the programme according to the type of load and degree of soil. With the ECO programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
