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 mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the
lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.
4)
With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a
short time.
5)
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.
6)
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.

seems that the appliance is not working.
The washing phase starts only after this
procedure is completed. The procedure
will be repeated periodically.
8.1 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
ENGLISH
17
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.
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 also be used.
• 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.
• Rinse aid dispensing can be
deactivated when using multi-tablets,
but we recommend to always use rinse
aid for better drying performance.
The water softener level can also be
set to the lowest value when using
multi-tablets and the water hardness
level is lower than 21 °dH.
• 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 empty
notification.
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.
