Setting or changing the start delay

Using the start delay timer you can adjust when
within the next 19 hours the dishwashing cycle is to
begin.

Setting the start delay: 

1.

Press the ON

/

OFF button.

2.

Continue pressing the start delay button 

ñ

until

the number of hours until the dishwashing cycle is
to start is flashing in the multi-display.

3.

Press the button for the desired dishwashing
cycle. 
The length of the selected dishwashing cycle will
flash for a moment in the multi-display, and then
the selected starting time will be displayed again.
As soon as the number of hours is displayed with-
out flashing, the start delay has been activated.
The dishwashing cycle will start automatically fol-
lowing a countdown of the hours set.

Changing the start delay:

As long as the dishwashing cycle has not started, you
are still able to cancel the start delay by pressing the

start delay button 

ñ

.

Cancelling the start delay:

As long as the dishwashing cycle has not started you
are still able to cancel the start delay. Continue

pressing the start delay button 

ñ

 until the length of

the selected dishwashing cycle appears in the multi-
display. The selected dishwashing cycle will begin
immediately.

Changing the dishwashing cycle after the 
start delay has been set:

As long as the dishwashing cycle has not started, you
are still able to change the start delay set by pressing
a cycle button.

1.

Press the button for the new dishwashing cycle
and hold it down.
First, the indicator for the dishwashing cycle that
has just been selected will flash.
After several seconds only the indicator for the
new dishwashing cycle will be flashing.

2.

Release the cycle button.
The newly selected dishwashing cycle will start
automatically following a countdown of the hours
set.

Load Sensing

If a wash programme is started even though there are
only a few dishes in the upper and/or lower rack, an
intelligent electronic system adjusts the amount of
water and the duration of the wash programme to the
number of dishes. By this means it is possible to
wash only a few dishes quickly and economically. At
half load (6 place settings), up to 2 litres of water and
0.2 kWh of electricity are saved. 

Switching Off the Dishwasher 

Only switch the dishwasher off when the multi-display
indicates "0" remaining programme time. 

1.

Press the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF button
indicator extinguishes. 

Hot steam may escape from the appliance
when opening the door immediately after the
end of the programme. Therefore: 

2.

Open the door carefully.

Emptying the Dishwasher 

Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes
should therefore be allowed to cool down before
removing them from the appliance. 

Leave the dishes in the dishwasher for approx.
15 minutes after the end of the programme so that
they dry better and can cool down. 

First empty the lower rack, and then the upper
rack. By using this procedure you will avoid any
water that may be remaining in the upper rack,
dripping onto the dishes in the lower rack and
leaving water marks.
