of its combined energy and water

– If your household water system is
suitable, this dishwasher can be con‐

by solar panels, for example, this
would be energy efficient.
However, if your water is heated by
electricity, we would recommend

build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐

Mains water with a hardness level high‐
er than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d - German
scale) needs to be softened. This takes
place automatically in the integrated
water softener. The water softener in
the dishwasher is suitable for a water
hardness level of up to 12.6 mmol/l (70
°d - German scale).

Cleaning the wash cabinet
The wash cabinet is largely self-clean‐
g, provided that the correct amount of
in
detergent is always used.
If, however, there are limescale or
grease deposits in the cabinet, these
can be removed with a special dish‐
washer cleaner (see "Optional accesso‐
ries"). Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
Using mainly low temperature pro‐
gr
ammes (below 50°C), could cause
bacteria and unpleasant odours to build
up in the wash cabinet. To avoid this,
the dishwasher will increase the tem‐
perature in the final rinse of the selected
programme automatically after several
programmes using low temperatures
have been run.

Drainage
– The appliance drainage system is fit‐
ed with a non-return valve which
t
prevents dirty water from flowing
back into the dishwasher via the
drain hose.
– The dishwasher is supplied with ap‐
ox. 1.5 m of flexible drain hose with
pr
an internal diameter of 22 mm.
– The drain hose can be extended us‐
a connection piece to attach a
ing
further length of hose. The drainage
length must not be longer than 4 m,
and the delivery head must not ex‐
ceed 1 m.
– If the hose is to be directly fitted to
ainage outlet on site, use the
the dr
hose clip supplied (see installation di‐
agram).
– The hose can be directed to the left
or the right of the appliance.
– The on-site connector for the drain
ho
se can be adapted to different
widths of hose. If the connector pro‐
trudes too far into the drain hose, it
will need to be shortened. Otherwise
the drain hose may become blocked.
Venting the drainage system
If the on-site drain connection is situ‐
at
ed lower than the guide path for the
bottom basket rollers in the open door,
the drainage system must be vented.
Otherwise a siphoning effect during a
programme can cause the appliance to
empty itself of water.
