3 Programme overview

3.1 Programme

Programme time, water consumption and energy consumption can be reduced by selecting
the and additional functions.

Eco programme: The most efficient programme in terms of water and energy
consumption for normally dirty dishes (declaration programme).

Automatic: Optimum cleaning with minimal water and energy consumption. Not
for burnt-on or dried leftovers.

Daily quick: Quick programme for normally soiled daily dishes. Cleans with high
spray pressure.

Sprint: For slightly dirty dishes such as drinks glasses or coffee cups and sau­cers. Not suitable for slowly dissolving tabs.

Intensive: For very dirty dishes, particularly with starchy leftovers (mashed
potato, rice etc.).

Silent: Exceptionally quiet programme for washing the dishes at night. Suitable
for normally soiled dishes.

Party: Quick wash programme for lightly soiled dishes that need to be cleaned
quickly, e.g. at a party or an aperitif. Not suitable for tabs. Only use detergent in
powder or gel form.
Programme start after heat-up phase:

The flashing symbol indicates that one of the following programmes has
been selected. The selected programme is shown in the display.

Glass: Gentle programme for glasses.

Fondue/Raclette: For very dirty dishes, including burned-on food. Only use

dishes that are suitable for dishwashers. If necessary, put detergent in the pre­rinsing compartment.

Hygiene: For items with higher hygiene requirements (baby bottles, chopping
boards etc.). Clean the filter system before starting the programme.

Machine care: The appliance, in particular the storage tank, is hygienically
rinsed. Before starting the programme, clean the filter system and add dish­washer cleaner according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

3 Programme overview

Pre-rinsing: Prevents dirt drying on if the wash programme is not going to be
started until later.

3.2 Additional functions

Depending on the user settings, select between two functions.

1 ×

2 ×

Energy saving: The wash temperature is reduced by 5 °C, lowering en­ergy consumption by about 10 %. Gentle on glasses. The programme
time is shortened slightly.

Appliances with a heat pump: overall energy consumption is reduced by
up to 30 %, however the programme time is extended.

OptiStart: If the «OptiStart» user setting is active, a delayed start is set.
During the delayed start, the dishes are soaked and this improves the
cleaning results and reduces the energy consumption.

SteamFinish: During rinsing, steam is generated, which settles on the
glasses and leads to optimum drying results. The programme takes around
15 minutes longer.

Partial load: For a small load of dishes. The amount of water used is re­duced by up to 6l and the duration of the programme is shortened by up to
36minutes. Depending on the programme selected and the electrical con­nection, the time saving may be less than 36 minutes.

Delayed start: Allows you to wash during off-peak hours (e.g. at off-peak
electricity rates). A delayed start of between 30 minutes and 24hours can
be set.

3.3 EcoManagement

Only active if «EcoManagement» is turned on in the user settings.

EcoManagement provides information on the energy and water consump­tion of the appliance and supports the sustainable use of energy. The fol­lowing consumption information can only be retrieved when no pro­gramme is running:

▪ Energy and water consumption of the last programme
▪ Total energy and water consumption
▪ Average energy and water consumption of the last 25 programmes

The energy and water consumption of a programme is displayed during
programme selection. At the end of a programme, the energy and water
consumption of the last programme run is displayed.

The values can vary according to programme, load, additional functions and
user settings.

4 Operation

4 Operation

4.1 Preparing the appliance

After changing the location of an appliance that has a heat pump, it must be left to

stand in the normal operating final position for around 2 hours before it can be op-

erated again.

▸ Remove any coarse or hard pieces of food or foreign objects (such as toothpicks) left on

the dishes.

▸ Load the baskets. After loading, check that the spray arms can turn freely.

4.2 Dish washing tips

General notes

▪ Do not overload the baskets.
▪ Dishes, pots and pans with heavily burned-on food debris stuck to them should be soaked

in water first.

▪ Load beverage and food containers such as cups, glasses, pots, etc. with the opening fa-

cing downwards so that the water can drain off.

▪ When loading, ensure glasses do not touch so as to prevent damage and water spots.
▪ When cleaning range hood grease filters, select the programme and use the maximum

amount of detergent.

Dishes

Not all table- and kitchenware are dishwasher safe.
▪ Clean wooden or plastic parts that are sensitive to damage from heat and detergent suds

by hand.

▪ Pottery has a tendency to crack or chip.
▪ The printing on glass and porcelain is hard-wearing only to a point and eventually over time

can wear off.

▪ Glassware, depending on the type and the detergent being used, can become cloudy.

Check with your glassware supplier as to whether your glassware is dishwasher safe.

▪ Stress and tension in thick cut crystal glasses and dishes can cause cracking.
▪ Do not wash dishes with adhesive labels on them. Adhesive labels can come off and clog

up the filter system.

▪ Objects made of silver, copper and tin tend to discolour, turning brown or black.
▪ Spots tend to form on aluminium. Wash aluminium separately or by hand.
