Disposing of packaging

The packaging materials are environ-
mentally compatible and can be re-
cycled.

Sort the individual components by
type and dispose of them separ-
ately.

Saving energy

If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less electricity and
less water.

Use the Eco 50 ° programme.

The Eco 50 ° programme is en-
ergy-efficient and environmentally
friendly.

If you do not have much tableware to
wash, use the additional Half Load
function.

The programme will adjust to a
lower load and consumption will
be reduced.

AquaSensor

The AquaSensor is an optical meas-
uring 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 wa-
ter 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 ad-
ditionally adjusted to the level of soil-
ing.
