Top up salt
Salt compartment lid
1 Unscrew the salt compartment lid.
2 Place the funnel supplied with the dishwasher in the salt compart-
ment top-up hole. First, pour in about 1 l of water.
3 Then add salt, a maximum of 1.0 kg, until the compartment is full.
4 Wipe up any excess salt so that the lid can be screwed on firmly.
In order to avoid rust stains a dishwashing program must be started
immediately after adding salt.
To change the chosen setting, see the chapter Settings.
Loading the dishwasher
Greener dishwashing
Do not rinse under running water
Simply scrape off large food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Choose a green detergent
Read the environmental declaration on the packaging!
Run programs only with a full load
Wait to run a program until the dishwasher is full. This way you save
energy. Use the Rinse and hold program to rinse the dishes if there
are any unpleasant odours while you wait for the dishwasher to become
fully loaded.
Run programs at a lower temperature
If the dishes are only slightly dirty, you can select a program with a low
temperature.
Select ECO wash
Use when you want to save water and energy. For normally soiled load,
such as plates, serving dishes, cups, glasses and so on.
This dishwashing program is designed for an effective wash using as
little energy and water as possible. The program washes at a low
temperature for a long time.
Open the door a little once the program has finished
Better drying results are achieved if you open the door a little once the
program has ended. (If the dishwasher is built-in, the surrounding
cabinets must be resistant to any condensation from the dishwasher.)
Connect to cold water
Connect the dishwasher to the cold water supply if the building is
heated using oil, electricity or gas.
Connection to hot water supply
Connect the dishwasher to the hot water supply (max. 70 °C) if the
building is heated using an energy-efficient means such as district
heating, solar power or geothermal power. Choosing a hot water con-
nection cuts dishwashing times and reduces the dishwasher's energy
consumption.
NOTE!
Do not exceed the permitted water supply temperature. Certain ma-
terials used in some cookware cannot withstand high heat.
