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 washing programme to suit the
nature and degree of the soil on the
dishes.

• 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 set your
appliance to run over night, to enable, for
example, the use of economical overnight
electricity tariffs.

•

45° - 70° Auto Programme: This
appliance is fitted with a turbidity sensor
which intelligently adjusts the temperature
and rinsing phases during the washing
programme, depending on the degree of
soil on the dishes. This helps to reduce
energy and water consumption on lightly
soiled loads.

•

Energy save: This function decreases
the temperature in the drying phase. The
power consumption is reduced by 25%

Environmental
information

The packaging materials are environmentally
friendly and can be recycled. The plastic
components are identified by markings (e.g.
>PE<, >PS<) . Please dispose of the

facilities.

When a unit is no longer being used:

• Pull the mains plug out of the

When the appliance is first
installed

Before using the appliance for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water
connections comply with the installation
instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the
appliance.

• Check if the factory set of the water
softener complies with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust the
level of the water softener.

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt
container and then fill with dishwasher
salt.

• Fill the rinse aid dispenser.

If you want to use combi detergent
tablets (e.g. 3 in 1, 4 in 1, 5 in 1) set
the Multi tab function. Refer to 'Multi

The water softener

The appliance is equipped with a water
softener designed to remove minerals and
salts from the water supply, which would
have a detrimental or adverse effect on the
operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals and
salts, the harder your water is. Water
hardness is measured in equivalent scales,
Clarke degrees, French degrees (°TH) and
mmol/l (millimol per litre - international unit
for the hardness of water).

10

The 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.
