Energy saving washing

Caring for the environment

This dishwasher is exceptionally eco nomical in the use of water and electric ity. For best results follow these tips:

For lowest energy consumption and

the gentlest washing of china and crystal, connect the dishwasher to a cold water source.

For fastest possible wash times, yet

higher energy consumption, connect the dishwasher to a hot water source.

Make full use of the baskets without

overloading for the most economical washing.

^ Choose a program that best suits the

degree of soiling and the type of dishes being washed.

^ For small loads:

Select the "Top Solo" feature (see "Additional features").

^ If baskets are only half full, select the

"Economy" program.

Use the correct amounts of detergent and rinse aid.

Before using for the first time

Water softener

To achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs soft water. Hard wa ter results in calcium deposits on dishware and in the dishwasher. If your tap water hardness is above 8 gr/gal (values are in US gallons) (140 ppm), the water should be soft ened. This takes place automatically in the unit’s integrated water softener.

Your local water authority will be able

–

to advise you of the water hardness level in your area.

– The dishwasher must be pro-

grammed to correspond to the water hardness in your area.

– The water softener must be filled with

dishwasher salt for reactivation.

If your water hardness is consistently lower than 8 gr/gal (140 ppm), you do not need to add dishwasher salt. How

ever, the dishwasher must still be pro

grammed to correspond to the local water hardness.

Where the water hardness fluctuates e.g. between 9 - 17 gr/gal (160 - 310 ppm), always program the machine to the higher value, 17 gr/gal (310 ppm) in this example.

If there is a fault, it will help the service technician to know the hardness of your local water supply.

^ Please note the water hardness:

gr/gal

Before using for the first time
