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.

•

45°-70° Auto 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.

•

Half load: This option is useful and economical when baskets are not fully loaded.

Environmental information

1) During the Auto washing programme the level of soiling on the dishes is determined by how cloudy the water is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary; this depends upon whether the appliance is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily soiled. The temperature of the water is automatically adjusted between 45°C and 70°C.

• 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

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.

The water softener

The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have
