NOTICE:
Harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products can
damage your dishwasher.
▶
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based
products to clean your dishwasher.
Certain cleaning products may damage the appliance.
▶
Do not use a steam cleaner.
▶
So as not to scratch the finish on the appliance, do not
use sponges with a rough surface or abrasive cleaning
agents.
Avoid stainless steel polish
▶
Do not use stainless steel polish on an anti-fingerprint
finish or a black stainless finish.
Escaping water vapor can damage cabinetry.
▶
When the program ends, let the appliance cool down a
bit before opening the door.
Protect your appliance from the elements.
▶
Protect against freezing to avoid possible damage to
the fill valve. Damage caused by freezing is not covered
by the warranty.
Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to
corrosion.
▶
To make sure that any special salt that escapes is
washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the
dispenser for special salt immediately before the
program starts.
Detergent may damage the water softening system.

3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power and water.
Use the Eco program.

The Eco program is energy-efficient and
environmentally friendly.

a
Consumption is reduced.
3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light
barrier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water.
You can save water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor depends on the selected
cycle. If the soiling level is high, the washing water is
drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling
level is lower, the washing water is used in the next rinse,
so reducing water consumption by 3-6 liters. In the Auto
cycles the temperature and run time are additionally
adjusted to the level of soiling.
3.3 Sensors
The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the
Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity levels that can be
changed in the basic settings.

Sensor setting
Description
Standard
Optimal setting for mixed loads
and heavily soiled dishware.
Saves both energy and water.
Sensitive
Adjusts the cycle strength for
effective removal of food
remnants even with low soiling
levels. Energy and water
consumption are adjusted
accordingly.
Very sensitive
Adjusts the cycle strength for
difficult conditions of use, e.g.
stubborn dried-on food remnants.
Recommended setting when
using organic or ecological
detergents containing low levels
of active agents. Energy and
water consumption are adjusted
accordingly.
