3.3 Sensors
The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the
Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity levels that can be
changed in the basic settings.
→
"Changing the basic settings", Page23
Sensor setting Description
Standard Optimal setting for mixed loads
and heavily soiled dishware.
Saves both energy and water.
Sensitive Adjusts the program strength for
effective removal of food remnants even with low soiling levels.
Energy and water consumption
are adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive Adjusts the program strength for
difficult conditions of use, e.g.
stubborn dried-on food remnants.
Recommended setting when using organic or ecological detergents containing low levels of active agents. Energy and water
consumption are adjusted accordingly.

3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water.
You can save water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor depends on the selected
cycle. If the soiling level is high, the washing water is
drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling
level is lower, the washing water is used in the next wash
cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 liters. In the
Auto cycles the temperature and run time are additionally
adjusted to the level of soiling.

Dishwasher Cycles
Below is an overview of the different cycles available on your dishwasher.
The running time may vary depending on the cycle selected. The running time depends on the water temperature, the
quantity of dishware, the level of dirt and the option selected. The running time will change if the rinse aid system is
switched off or rinse aid needs to be added. The consumption values relate to normal conditions and a water hardness of
16 - 20 °E. Different influencing factors such as water temperature or pipe pressure may result in deviations.

5.1 Energy Guide
The Energy Guide label was based on the Normal soil
sensing cycle.
The unit was tested without any rinse aid (liquid) in the
rinse aid dispenser. A single dose of detergent was inserted into the detergent dispenser, with no detergent being used in the prewash. The unit was not subjected to
truncated testing per the definitions in the test procedure.
We recommend that dish loads such as the one in the energy certification test have the rack position set in the
highest position. Recommended for daily, regular or typical use to completely wash a full load of normally soiled
dishes.
