Ecological hints
To save water and energy and help protect
the environment, we recommend that you
follow these hints:
• Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.
• Do not prewash under running water.
• Select the wash programme to suit the
nature and degree of the soiling on the
dishes.
3
• Do not use more detergent, dishwasher
salt and rinse aid than is recommended in
these operating instructions and by the
manufacturer of the respective product.
•
Delay start: When possible programme
your dishwasher to run over night, to
enable, for example, the use of economical
overnight electricity tariffs.
• Automatic Wash Programme: This
machine is fitted with a turbidity sensor
which intelligently adjusts the temperature
and rinsing cycles during the wash
programme, depending on the degree of
soiling on the dishes. This helps to reduce
energy and water consumption on lightly
soiled loads.

1) The consumption values are intended as a guide. They depend on pressure and the temperature of the water,
variations of the power supply and the quantity of dishes.
2) Temperature of the main wash in Celsius scale.
3) The digital display shows the programme duration.
4) During the 'Automatic' washing programme the level of soiling on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water
is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary. This depends upon whether the
appliance is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily soiled. The temperature of the water is
automatically adjusted between 45°C and 70°C.
5) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet the needs of a
family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.

The softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your
