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)
This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the
rinsing phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.
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 decrease the
level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

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

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.
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.
• Multi-tablets are usually suitable in
areas with a water hardness up to 21
°dH. In areas exceeding this limit, rinse
aid and salt must be used in addition to
the multi-tablets. However, in areas
with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use solo-detergent
(powder, gel, tablets without additional
functions), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 What to do if you want to
stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separately
detergent, salt and rinse aid do the
following procedure.
1. Set the highest level of the water
softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid
containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a
rinsing phase. Do not add detergent
and do not load the baskets.
4. When the programme is completed,
adjust the water softener according to
the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse
aid.
6. Activate the rinse aid dispenser.
10.4 Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items made
of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and
copper.
• Do not put in the appliance items that
can absorb water (sponges, household
cloths).
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
ENGLISH
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and
pans) with the opening down.
• Make sure that glasses do not touch
other glasses.
• Put cutlery and small items in the
cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not move.
• Make sure that the spray arms can
move freely before you start a
programme.
10.5 Before starting a
programme
Make sure that:
• The filters are clean and correctly
installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is dishwasher salt and rinse aid
(unless you use multi- tablets).
• The position of the items in the baskets
is correct.
• The programme is applicable for the
type of load and for the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is
used.
10.6 Unloading the baskets
1. Let the tableware cool down before
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.
At the end of the programme
water can still remain on the
sides and on the door of the
appliance.

11. CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING!
Before maintenance,
