5. PROGRAMME SELECTION

5.1 MY TIME

Using MY TIME selection bar, you can

select a suitable wash cycle based on

programme duration, ranging from 30

minutes to four hours.

CA B D E

A. Quick is the shortest programme

(30min) suitable for washing a load

with fresh and light soil.

B. 1h is a programme suitable for

washing a load with fresh and lightly

dried-on soil.

C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable

for washing and drying normally

soiled items.

D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable

for washing and drying heavily soiled

items.

E. ECO is the longest programme (4h)

offering the most efficient use of

energy and water consumption for

crockery and cutlery with normal soil.

This is the standard programme for

test institutes.

5.2 EXTRAS

You can adjust the programme selection

to your needs by activating EXTRAS.

ExtraSilent

ExtraSilent allows to reduce the noise

generated by the appliance. When the

option is activated, the wash pump works

quietly at a lower speed. Due to the low

speed, the programme duration is

longer.

ExtraPower

ExtraPower improves the washing

results of the selected programme. The

option increases the wash temperature

and duration.

GlassCare

GlassCare provides special care for a

delicate load. The option prevents rapid

changes in the wash temperature of the

selected programme and reduces it to 45

°C. This protects glassware in particular

from damaging.

5.3 AUTO Sense

The AUTO Sense program automatically

adjusts the wash cycle to the type of

load.

The appliance senses the degree of soil

and the amount of dishes in the baskets.

It adjusts the temperature and quantity

of water as well as the wash duration.

6.1 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals

from the water supply, which would have

a negative effect on the washing results

and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals,

the harder your water is. Water hardness

is measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted

according to the hardness of the water in

your area. Your local water authority can

advise you on the hardness of the water

in your area. It is important to set the

right level of the water softener to assure

good washing results.

Softening hard water

increases the consumption

of water and energy as well

as the programme duration.

The higher the level of water

softener, the higher the

consumption and the longer

the duration.

Do not use salt at this level.

Regardless of the type of detergent

used, set the proper water hardness

level to keep the salt refill indicator

active.

Multi-tabs containing salt

are not effective enough to

soften hard water.

6.2 The rinse aid level

The rinse aid helps to dry the dishes

without streaks and stains. It is

automatically released during the hot

rinse phase. It is possible to set the

released quantity of rinse aid.

ENGLISH 11

When rinse aid chamber is empty, the

rinse aid indicator is on notifying to refill

rinse aid. If the drying results are

satisfactory while using multi-tablets

only, it is possible to deactivate the

dispenser and the indicator. However, for

best drying performance, always use

rinse aid and keep the rinse aid indicator

active.

To deactivate the rinse aid dispenser and

indicator, set the level of rinse aid to 0A.

6.3 End sound

You can activate an acoustic signal that

sounds when the programme is

completed.

Acoustic signals sound also

when a malfunction of the

appliance occurs. It is not

possible to deactivate these

signals.

6.4 AirDry

AirDry improves the drying results. The

appliance door opens automatically

during the drying phase and remains

ajar.

AirDry is automatically activated with all

programmes.

CAUTION!

Do not try to close the

appliance door within 2

minutes after automatic

opening. This can cause

damage to the appliance.

CAUTION!

If children have access to the

appliance, we advise to

deactivate AirDry. The

automatic opening of the

door may pose a danger.

When AirDry opens the

door, Beam-on-Floor might

not be completely visible. To

see if the programme is

complete, look at the control

panel.

6.5 Key tones

The buttons on the control panel make a

click sound when you press them. You

can deactivate this sound.

9. HINTS AND TIPS

9.1 General

Follow the hints below to ensure optimal

cleaning and drying results in daily use

and to help you protect the environment.

• Remove larger residues of food from

the dishes into the waste bin.

• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.

When needed, select a programme

with a prewash phase.

• Always use the whole space of the

baskets.

• Make sure that items in the baskets

do not touch or cover each other.

Only then can the water completely

reach and wash the dishes.

• You can use dishwasher detergent,

rinse aid and salt separately or you

can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in

1''). Follow the instructions on the

packaging.

• Select a programme according to the

type of load and the degree of soil.

ECO offers the most efficient use of

water and energy consumption.

9.2 Using salt, rinse aid and

detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent

designed for dishwasher. Other

products can cause damage to the

appliance.

• In areas with hard and very hard

water, we recommend to use basic

dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,

tablets containing no additional

agents), rinse aid and salt separately

for optimal cleaning and drying

results.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent

detergent residues on the tableware,

we recommend that you use tablets

with long programmes.

• Do not use more than the correct

quantity of detergent. Refer to the

instructions on the detergent

packaging.

9.3 What to do if you want to

stop using multi-tablets

Before you start using separately

detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete

the following steps:

1. Set the highest level of the water

softener.

2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid

containers are full.

3. Start the Quick programme. Do not

add detergent and do not put dishes

in the baskets.

4. When the programme is completed,

adjust the water softener according

to the water hardness in your area.

5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse

aid.

Before you start the selected

programme, make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly

installed.

• The cap of the salt container is tight.

• The spray arms are not clogged.

• There is enough salt and rinse aid

(unless you use multi-tablets).

used.

9.5 Loading the baskets

• Use the appliance to wash

dishwasher-safe items only.

• Do not wash in the appliance items

made of wood, horn, aluminium,

pewter and copper.

• Do not wash in the appliance items

that can absorb water (sponges,

household cloths).

• Remove large food residues from

dishes.

• Soak cookware with burnt-on food

before washing it in the appliance.

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and

pans) with the opening facing

downwards.

• Make sure that glasses do not touch

each other.

• Put light items in the upper basket.

Make sure that the items do not move

freely.

• Put cutlery and small items in the

cutlery drawer.

• Move the upper basket upwards to

accommodate large items in the

lower basket.

• Make sure that the spray arms can

move freely before you start a

programme.

9.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before

you remove it from the appliance.

Hot items can be easily damaged.

2. First remove items from the lower

basket, then from the upper basket.

After the programme is

the washing results. Check

these elements regularly

and, if necessary, clean

them.
