PROGRAMMES

The order of the programs in the table may not reflect their sequence on the control panel.

1. This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes. This programme is used to assess compliance with the Ecodesign Commission Regulation (EU) 2019/2022. This program is used to assess compliance with the UK Ecodesign for Energy-Related Products and Energy Information Regulations.
2. Automatic door opening during the drying phase. Refer to “Settings”.
3. The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
4. This programme is designed to clean the inside of the appliance effectively and efficiently. It removes limescale and grease buildup. The programme should be run at least once every 2 months with a desca‐ler or a cleaning product designed for dishwashers and without any load.
5. With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from dishes and prevent odours from forming in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.
6. This is the most silent programme. The wash pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

Consumption values

1. The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options, the quantity of dishes and the degree of soil can change the values.
2. The values for programmes other than ECO are indicative only.

Information for test institutes

SETTINGS

Programme selection mode and user mode
When the appliance is in programme selection mode, you can set a program and enter user mode.

Settings available in the user mode:

• The level of water softener according to the water hardness.
• The level of rinse aid according to the required dosage.
• Activation or deactivation of the AirDry.

The saved settings remain valid until you change them again.

How to set the programme selection mode

• The appliance is in programme selection mode when the programme indicator ECO is on and the display shows the programme duration.
• After activation, the appliance is in programme selection mode by default. If not, set the programme selection mode the following way:
• Press and hold simultaneously Delay and Option until the appliance is in programme selection mode.

How to enter user mode

• Make sure the appliance is in programme selection mode.
• To enter user mode, press and hold simultaneously Delay and Option until the indicators  ECO,160 , and  90Min flash and the display is blank.

The water softener

• The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would hurt the washing results and 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. Set the right level of the water softener to ensure good washing results.

Water hardness

1. Factory setting.
2. 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.
INFO: Multi-tabs containing salt are not effective enough to soften hard water.

Regeneration process

• For the correct water softener operation, the resin of the softener device needs to be regenerated regularly. This process is automatic and is the part of the normal dishwasher operation.
• When the prescribed quantity of water (see values in the table) has been used since the previous regeneration process, a new regeneration process will be initiated between the final rinse and the programme end.

In the case of the high water softener setting, it may occur also in the middle of the programme, before the rinse (twice during a programme). Regeneration initiation has no impact on the cycle duration unless it occurs in the middle of a programme or at the end of a programme with a short drying phase. In such cases, the regeneration prolongs the total duration of a programme by an additional 5 minutes.

Subsequently, the rinsing of the water softener that lasts 5 minutes may begin in the same cycle or at the beginning of the next programme. This activity increases the total water consumption of a programme by an additional 4 litres and the total energy consumption of a programme by an additional 2 Wh. The rinsing of the softener ends with a complete drain.

Each performed softener rinse (possibly more than one in the same cycle) may prolong the programme duration by another 5 minutes when it occurs at any point at the beginning or in the middle of a programme.

INFO: All the consumption values mentioned in this section are determined in line with the currently applicable standard in laboratory conditions with water hardness 2.5mmol/L (water softener: level 3) according to the regulation: 2019/2022 / UK Ecodesign 2021/745. The pressure and the temperature of water as well as the variations of the main supply can change the values.

HINTS AND TIPS

General: Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to protect the environment.

• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed in the user manual usually consumes less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save water and energy. For best cleaning results, arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the user manual and do not overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the water and energy consumption. When needed, select a program with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and empty cups and glasses before putting them inside the appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it in the appliance.
• 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.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the appliance:
  • Refill the salt container whenever necessary.
  • Use the recommended dosage of the detergent and rinse aid.
  • Make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply.
  • Follow the instructions in the chapter “Care and Cleaning”.

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 using 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.
• Always use the correct quantity of detergent. Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in poor cleaning results and hard-water filming or spotting on the items. Using too much detergent with soft or softened water results in detergent residues on the dishes. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.
• Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying results. Using too much rinse aid results in bluish layers on the items.
• Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in the water might result in rust on cutlery.

What to do if you want to stop using multi-tablets
Before you start to use separate 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 shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do put dishes in the baskets.
4. When the programme is complete, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.

Loading the baskets

• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwasher-safe items only.
• Do not wash the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper as they could crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glass items 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.
