Environmental protection and saving energy

Disposing of packaging
The packaging materials are environmentally compatible and can be recycled. Sort the individual components by type and dispose of them separately.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use less electricity and less water. Use the Eco 50 ° programmed. The Eco 50 ° programmed is energy- efficient and environmentally friendly. Change the sensor setting to the default.

Aqua Sensor

The Aqua Sensor is an optical measuring device (light barrier) which measures the turbidity of the rinsing water. You can save water with the AquaSensor. Use of the AquaSensor depends on the programme. If the soiling level is high, the rinsing water is drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling level is lower, the rinsing water
is used in the next wash cycle, so reducing water consumption by 3-6 litres. In the automatic programmes the temperature and run time are additionally
adjusted to the level of soiling.

Sensors

The sensors adjust the programme sequence and strength in the automatic programmes depending on the level and type of soiling. The sensor has different sensitivity settings that can be changed in the basic settings.

both energy and water.

Detergent

Suitable detergents

Only use detergents that are suitable for dishwashers. Both separate and combined detergents are suitable. For optimum washing and drying results, use separate detergent, adding.. Modern, powerful detergents mainly use a low- alkaline formulation with enzymes. Enzymes break down starch and remove protein. Oxygenbased bleaching agents are generally used to remove coloured marks, e.g. tea or ketchup.

Note
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each detergent.

Note: Follow the manufacturer’s in- structions  for  each detergent.

Detergent| Description
Tabs| Tabs are suitable for all cleaning functions and do not need to be measured out.

With shorter tabs

sometimes do not dissolve entirely and leave residues of detergent. This may impair the cleaning effect.

The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Liquid detergent| Liquid detergent works faster and is recommended for short

without Pre Rinse.. Sometimes liquid detergent may leak out despite the detergent dispenser being closed. This is not a fault and is non-critical if you remember the following

Only choose a programme without Pre Rinse

Do not select timer programming for starting the programme.

The dosage can be adjusted to the level of soiling.

Tip
Suitable detergents are available online via our website.

Separate detergents

Separate detergents are products that do not contain components other than detergent, e.g. powder detergent or liquid detergent. With powder and liquid detergent the dosage can be individually adjusted to the level of soiling of the tableware. For better washing and drying results and to avoid damage to the appliance, please additionally use.

Combined detergent

Besides conventional separate deter-gents, a number of products are available with additional functions. These products contain not only detergent but also rinse aid and salt re-placement substances (3in1) and, depending on the combination 4in1,5in1 additional components such as glass protection or stainless steel cleaner. According to manufacturers, combined detergents generally only function up to a water hardness of 26 °E. With a water hardness above 26 °E you will need to add special salt and rinse aid. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt and rinse aid from a water hardness of 17 °E. If you are us-ing combined detergent, the washing programme is adjusted automatically to ensure the best possible washing and drying result.

Unsuitable detergents

Do not use detergent which could cause damage to the appliance or present a risk to health.

and damage the appliance.
Detergent containing chlorine| Chlorine residue on table ware may present a risk to health.

Information on detergents

Follow the instructions on detergents in everyday use. Detergents marked as organic or ecological  environmentally friendly generally contain lower levels of active agents or completely dispense with certain sub-stances. The cleaning effect maybe restricted here. Set the rinse aid and the water softening system to the separate detergent or combined detergent in use. According to manufacturers, combined detergents with salt replacement substances can only be used up to a certain water hardness usually 26 °E, without adding special salt. For the best washing and drying results we recommend using special salt from a water hard-ness of 17 °E. To prevent sticking, only touch detergents in a water-soluble pouch with dry hands and only ever place them in a dry detergent dispenser. Even if the rinse aid and special salt refill indicators light up, washing programmes will run properly with combined detergents. The function of rinse aid is limited with combined detergents. You will generally get better results using rinse aid. Use tablets with a special drying performance.

Adding detergent

1. To open the detergent dispenser, press the locking latch.
2. Add the detergent to the dry detergent dispenser.

If you are using tablets, one is enough. Insert the tablets in a horizontal position. If you are using powder or liquid detergent, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and quantitie for dosage in the detergent dispenser. 20 ml – 25 ml detergent is sufficient for normal soiling. If tableware is only lightly soiled, slightly less than the amount of detergent specified is usually sufficient. Close the lid of the detergent dispenser.

The lid clicks into position. The detergent dispenser will open automatically at the optimum time during the programmed. Powder or liquid detergent will spread around the washing tank and dissolve there. Tablets will fall into the tablet collecting tray and dissolve in the right dosage. In order to ensure that tablets can dissolve evenly, do not place any other objects in the tablet collecting tray.

Tip
If you use powder detergent and select a program with pre-rinse, you can also add a little detergent to the interior door of the appliance.
