Environmental protection and saving energy en

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.
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16

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42
Sensor setting Description
Standard Optimum setting for a
mixed load and heavily soiled tableware. Saves both energy and water.
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.

Detergent

Detergent
Detergent

Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying res­ults, use separate detergent, adding "Special salt" →Page32 and "Rinse aid" →Page33 separately. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low-alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygen­based bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's in­structions for each detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are suitable for all
cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out. With shorter "Pro­grammes" →Page20 tabs sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may im­pair the cleaning effect.
Powder deter­gent
Powder detergent is re­commended for shorter "Programmes" →Page20. The dosage can be adjus­ted to the level of soiling.
34
Detergent en
Detergent Description
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works
faster and is recommen­ded for shorter "Pro­grammes" →Page20 without PreRinse. Sometimes liquid deter­gent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the follow­ing:
¡ Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreR­inse.
¡ Do not select timer pro-
gramming for starting the programme.
The dosage can be adjus­ted to the level of soiling.
Tip:Suitable detergents are available online via our website or from "Cus­tomer Service" →Page62.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder deter­gent or liquid detergent. With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the table­ware. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appli­ance, please additionally use "Spe­cial salt" →Page32 and "Rinse aid" →Page33.

Combined detergent

Besides conventional separate deter­gents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only de­tergent but also rinse aid and salt re­placement substances (3in1) and,
depending on the combination (4in1, 5in1,...), additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. According to manufacturers, com­bined detergents generally only func­tion up to a water hardness of 26°E. With a water hardness above 26°E you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a wa­ter hardness of 17°E. If you are us­ing combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health.
Detergent Description
Hand washing-up liquid
Detergent con­taining chlorine
Hand washing-up liquid can cause increased froth­ing and damage the appli­ance.
Chlorine residue on table­ware may present a risk to health.

Information on detergents

Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "organic" or
"ecological" (environmentally friendly) generally contain lower levels of active agents or com­pletely dispense with certain sub­stances. The cleaning effect may be restricted here.
¡ Set the rinse aid and the water
softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use.
35
en Detergent
15 ml
25 ml
50 ml
¡ According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replace­ment substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness, usually 26°E, without adding spe­cial salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend us­ing special salt from a water hard­ness of 17°E.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch de-
tergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special
salt refill indicators light up, wash­ing programmes will run properly with combined detergents.
¡ The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid.
¡ Use tablets with a special drying
performance.

Adding detergent

1. To open the detergent dispenser,
press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry deter-
gent dispenser.
If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a hori­zontal position. If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufac­turer's instructions and quantities for dosage in the detergent dis­penser. 20ml–25ml detergent is suffi­cient for normal soiling. If table­ware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient.
36
Tableware en
3. Close the lid of the detergent dis-
penser.
a The lid clicks into position. a The detergent dispenser will open
automatically at the optimum time during the programme. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray.
Tip:If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.

Tableware

Tableware
Tableware
Only clean tableware that is suitable for dishwashers.
Note:Decorated glassware and parts made of aluminium or silver may fade or discolour with dishwashing. Delicate types of glass may turn cloudy after a few washing cycles.
Damage to glass and table­ware
Only put glasses and china in the dishwasher if it is marked as dish­washer-safe by the manufacturer. Avoid damage to glass and table­ware.
Cause Recommendation
The following table­ware is not dish­washer-safe:
¡ Items of cutlery
and tableware made from wood
¡ Decorated glass-
ware, antique and hand-crafted table­ware
¡ Plastic parts not
resistant to heat
¡ Tableware made
from copper or tin
¡ Tableware soiled
with ash, wax, lub­ricating grease or paint
¡ Very small items of
tableware
The chemical com­position of detergent causes damage.
Highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic clean­ing solutions, in partic­ular commercial or in­dustrial cleaners, are not safe to use in the dishwasher with alu­minium.
Only put tableware in the dishwasher if it is marked as dish­washer-safe by the manufacturer.
Use a detergent marked by the manu­facturer as gentle on tableware.
If you are using highly caustic alkaline or highly acidic cleaning agents, in particular commercial or indus­trial cleaning agents, do not put aluminium parts in the dish­washer interior.
37
en Tableware
Cause Recommendation
The water temperat­ure of the programme is too high.

ults, position items with curves or recesses at an angle so water can run off.
To save resources, do not pre­rinse tableware under running wa­ter.
2. Observe the following when arran-
ging tableware: – Put heavily soiled tableware in
the bottom basket, e.g. pans. The more powerful the spray jet, the better the dishwashing result will be.
– To prevent damage to table-
ware, arrange it so it is stable and cannot tip over.
– To prevent injury, arrange cut-
lery with the points and sharp edges facing down.
– Position containers with the
openings facing down so no wa­ter can collect in them.
– Do not block the spray arms -
make sure that they can turn freely.
– Do not place small parts in the
tablet collecting tray and do not block it with tableware so as not to obstruct the lid of the deter­gent dispenser.
1. Remove large remnants of food
from tableware.

Tips on appliance care

Follow the tips on appliance care to make sure your appliance functions properly at all times.
Action Benefit
Wipe the door seals, the front of the dish­washer and the con­trol panel regularly us­ing a damp cloth and washing-up liquid.
If the appliance is not going to be used for a while, leave the door slightly ajar.
This ensures the parts of the appliance will remain clean and hy­gienic.
This will prevent un­pleasant odours.

Machine Care

Deposits, e.g. from remnants of food and limescale, can cause your appli­ance to malfunction. To avoid such faults and reduce odours, we recom­mend cleaning your appliance at reg­ular intervals. Machine Care combined with ma­chine care products and machine cleaners is the right programme for the care of your appliance.
Note:You can get our tested and ap­proved Dishwasher Care and Ma­chine Cleaner for Dishwashers online at https://www.gaggenau.com/ global/store or from customer ser­vice.
Machine Care is a programme which removes various deposits in one washing cycle. Cleaning takes place in two phases:

1 Grease and limescale Liquid machine care product
or machine descaler in powder form.
2 Food remnants and de-
posits
Machine cleaner Detergent dispenser
Appliance interior, e.g. bottle hung in the cutlery basket or powder in the interior.
To ensure optimum cleaning perform­ance, the programme doses the de­tergents independently of each an­other during the relevant cleaning phase. Correct placement of the de­tergents is necessary here. Run Machine Care without tableware if the indicator for Machine Care lights up on the control panel or if ad­vised to do so by the display. The in­dicator will go out after you have run Machine Care. If your appliance does not have a reminder function, we re­commend performing Machine Care every 2months.
