6. PROGRAMME SELECTION
6.1 MY TIME
MY TIME selection bar allows to select a suitable dishwashing cycle based on programme duration.

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.
6.3 EXTRAS
You can adjust the programme selection to your needs by activating EXTRAS.

A B C DE
A. Quick is the shortest programme (30min) suitable for dishwashing a load with fresh and light soil.
B. 1h is a programme suitable for dishwashing a load with fresh and lightly dried-on soil.
C. 1h 30min is a programme suitable for dishwashing and drying normally soiled items.
D. 2h 40min is a programme suitable for dishwashing and drying heavily soiled items.
E. ECO is the longest programme 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. 1)
6.2 AUTO Sense
The AUTO Sense programme automatically adjusts the dishwashing cycle to the type of load.

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 dishwashing results of the selected programme. The option increases the wash temperature and duration.
GlassCare
GlassCare prevents delicate load, glassware in particular, from damaging. The option prevents rapid changes in the dishwashing temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C.

  1. This programme is used to assess compliance with the Ecodesign Comission Regulation (EU) 2019/2022.

In 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 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 additional 4 litres and the total energy consumption of a programme by additional 2 Wh. The rinsing of the softener ends with a complete drain.
Each performed softener rinse (possible 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.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 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 programme with a prewash phase.

18 ENGLISH

· 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”.
10.2 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.
· 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.
10.3 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.
10.4 Before starting a programme
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). · The arrangement of the items in the
baskets is correct. · The programme is suitable to the type of
load and the degree of soil. · The correct quantity of detergent is used.
10.5 Loading the baskets
· Always use the whole space of the baskets.
· Use the appliance to wash dishwashersafe items only.

ENGLISH 19

· Do not wash in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper as they could crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.
· Do not wash in 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.
10.6 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 completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.

11. CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING! Before any maintenance other than running the programme Machine Care, deactivate the appliance and disconnect the mains plug from the main socket.
Dirty filters and clogged spray arms negatively affect the washing results. Check these elements regularly and, if necessary, clean them.
