Caring for the environment
– Select the ECO pr

gramme is the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water
consumption at cleaning normally
soiled crockery.
– If your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water supply, select the SolarSave
programme for washing a lightly to
moderately soiled load. Because the
water is not heated in this pro‐
gramme, crockery may still be slightly
damper at the end of this programme
than it would be with other pro‐
grammes.
– Follow the detergent manufacturer's

build-up of calcium deposits on crock‐
ery and in the dishwasher.
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).

If the water hardness in your area is
constantly lower than 0.9 mmol/l

washer salt will be switched off auto‐

Rinse aid
Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water

helps crockery dry faster after it has
been washed.
Rinse aid is poured into the storage res‐

automatically.
