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.

• 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.

When the dishwasher is first installed

Before using your dishwasher for the first time:

• Ensure that the electrical and water

connections comply with the installation instructions

• Remove all packaging from inside the

appliance

• Set the water softener level

• Pour 1 litre of water into the salt container

and then fill with dishwasher salt

If you want to use combi detergent tablets such as "3 in 1", "4 in 1", "5 in 1" etc... set the Multi tab function (see "Multi tab function").

The water softener

The dishwasher 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). 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.
