DYNAMIC SENSE: Energy savings and optimum wash results
The two sensor-controlled “DYNAMIC SENSE” wash options are
recommended for routine washes. They use double-sensor
technology. Separate sensors gauge turbidity and particles in
order to determine the degree of soiling of the wash water. In
accordance with values measured, a microprocessor establishes
optimum water, energy and time consumption. Optimum wash
results are thus achieved using only those resources strictl y
required.

touch each other. Arrange large
crockery in the lower rack and smaller
crockery in the upper rack.
• Load cups at an angle to facilitate
water drainage.
• Generally speaking, place cutlery in the
basket with the handles positioned
downwards, but ensure that any sharp
knives and forks that might cause
injury are placed in the basket with the
handles positioned upwards.
• Make sure the water jet can reach all
loaded items and that the spray arms
turn freely.
Important
• Fill the detergent dispenser and check
the salt and rinse aid level.
• Do not use the appliance for items not
suitable for washing in a dishwasher,
for example: wooden items, aluminium,
plastic utensils, tin, hand-decorated
crockery (unglazed), silver cutlery.
• Do not put liquid fat in the dishwasher
(e.g. oil used for frying) or candle wax.
• If a fault occurs or you wish to change
the current programme, press
the “START” button for about 5
seconds until the Start indicator lamp
switches off.
• If regeneration salt is to be added,
immediately start a wash programme in
order to eliminate any residual salt
(rinsing alone is not sufficient).
• Sometimes even though the
regeneration salt container has been
filled, the corresponding indicator lamp
(if fitted) will light up during the first
wash cycle after filling with salt.
• Before starting a wash programme,
make sure that the spray arms can turn
freely and are not impeded by crockery
or cutlery.
• Only switch off the dishwasher once the
“Start” indicator lamp has switched off.
If the dishwasher is switched off during a
wash cycle, when switched on again it
will resume the cycle from where it was
interrupted without having to start it
again.
If a fault occurs, before contacting our
After-Sales Service, make the following
checks to try and remedy the problem:
The dishwasher is not working:
• Is the plug properl y inserted in the wall
socket?
• Is there a power failure?
• Is the dishwasher switched on?
• Has the Start button been pressed?
• Has the delayed start timer been set
(if fitted)?
• Is the water suppl y tap on?
• Is the flow of water obstructed by
impurities? If so, close the water supply tap,
detach the water hose and clean the filter.
Then re-connect the water hose to the tap
and open the water tap once again.
• Are the filters clogged? (See “Care and
maintenance” chapter in the user
instructions).
• Is the door closed properly?
• Is a fault indica ted?
(The Start indicator lamp flashes).
Start the programme again from the
beginning: press the Start button for
about 5 seconds, until the Start indicator
lamp switches off.
Select a new programme and press the
Start button.
Troubleshooting Guide
Crockery still dirty after washing:
• Was the crockery loaded pr operly?
• Crockery must be loaded facing
downwards; this is important, especially
for large items of crockery.
• The water jets must sp ray the entire
surface of all items.
• Make sure that crockery and cutlery are
arranged properly.
• Have you selected the correct
programme?
• Did you use too much or too little
detergent? (The use of poor quality
detergents may result in less effective
washing).
• Are the filters clogged or incorrectly
assembled? (See “Care and
Maintenance” chapter in the user
instructions).
• Are the spray arms blocked or the nozzles
clogged? (See “Care and Maintenance”
chapter in the user instructions).
• Is the lower spray arm correctly fitted?
• Is the salt container cap (water softening
system) screwed down?
Marked crockery:
• Is the water hardness level selector not
properly adjusted? See (“Filling the salt
container” in the user instructions).
• Is the salt container empty? (See “Filling
the salt container” in the user
instructions).
• Was insufficient detergent used? (See
“Filling the detergent dispenser” in the
user instructions).
Marked glasses and cutlery:
• Was too much rinse aid used? (See
“Filling the rinse aid dispenser” in the user
instructions).
Note:
with some models, when the Start button
is pressed a pre-wash cycle precedes the
actual wash programme; this regenerates the
water softening system.
