Safe installation

ATTENTION!
¡ Improper installation of the appli-
ance may cause damage.
If the dishwasher is installed
above or below other domestic appliances, follow the informa­tion on installation in combina­tion with a dishwasher in the in­stallation instructions for the in­dividual appliances.
If there is no information or if the
installation instructions do not in­clude the relevant information, contact the manufacturer of these appliances to check that the dishwasher can be installed above or below these appli­ances.
If no information is available
from the manufacturer, the dish­washer should not be installed above or below such appli­ances.
To ensure the safe operation of
all domestic appliances, con­tinue following the installation in­structions for the dishwasher.
Do not install the dishwasher un-
der a hob.
Do not install the dishwasher
near heat sources, e.g. radiat­ors, heat storage tanks, ovens or other appliances that gener­ate heat.
¡ Contact between the appliance
and water pipes may lead to corro­sion of these pipes, possibly caus­ing them to leak.
Check that there is a distance of
at least 5cm between the appli­ance and the water pipe. The
10
pipes supplied for the drinking water and waste water connec­tions are not affected here.
¡ Modified or damaged water hoses
may result in material damage and damage to the appliance.
Never kink, crush, modify or cut
through water hoses.
Only use the water hoses sup-
plied with the appliance or genu­ine spare hoses.
Never re-use water hoses that
have been used before.
¡ If the water pressure is too high or
too low, the appliance may not be able to operate properly.
Make sure that the water pres-
sure in the water supply system is min. 50kPa (0.5bar) and max. 1000kPa (10bar).
If the water pressure exceeds
the maximum value specified, a pressure-reducing valve must be installed between the drinking water connection and the hose set of the appliance.

Safe use

ATTENTION!
¡ Escaping water vapour can dam-
age fitted units.
When the programme ends,
leave the appliance to cool down for a while before opening the door.
¡ Special salt for dishwashers can
damage the tub due to corrosion.
To make sure that any special
salt that escapes is washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the dispenser for special salt immediately before the pro­gramme starts.
¡ Detergent may damage the water
softening system.
Only fill the dispenser of the wa-
ter softening system with special dishwasher salt.
Environmental protection and saving energy en
¡ Unsuitable cleaning agents may
damage the appliance.
Do not use a steam cleaner.So as not to scratch the finish
on the appliance, do not use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning agents.
To prevent corrosion, do not use
sponge cloths on dishwashers with a stainless steel front or rinse such cloths thoroughly several times before using them for the first time.

Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ­mentally compatible and can be re­cycled.
Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ­ately.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water.
Use the Eco50° programme.
The Eco50° programme is en­ergy-efficient and environmentally friendly. →"Programmes", Page19
If you do not have much tableware to wash, use the additional Half Load function.

The programme will adjust to a lower load and consumption will be reduced. →"Additional functions", Page21
Change the sensor setting to the de­fault.
Consumption is reduced. →"Sensors", Page12
Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy.
→"Zeolith drying ", Page11

Zeolith drying

The appliance features a Zeolith con­tainer. Zeolith drying lets you save energy. Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and heat energy and then release them again. During dishwashing heat energy is used to heat up the washing water and dry the mineral. During the drying phase moisture from the interior of the dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat energy is released. The heat energy is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher with dry air. This speeds up and im­proves drying. Zeolith drying therefore saves a great deal of energy.

en Installation and connection
Tip:To avoid impairing Zeolith drying
performance, do not position table­ware parts directly in front of the in­take opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container. Do not position heat-sensitive table­ware parts directly in front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container. →"Appliance", Page15

AquaSensor

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

Sensors

The sensors adjust the programme sequence and strength in the auto­matic programmes depending on the level and type of soiling. The sensor has different sensitivity settings that can be changed in the basic settings. →"Changing basic settings",
Page39
Sensor setting Description
Standard Optimum setting for a
mixed load and heavily soiled tableware. Saves both energy and water.
Sensor setting Description
Sensitive Adjusts the programme
strength for effective re­moval of food remnants even with low soiling levels. Energy and water consumption are adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive Adjusts the programme
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.
