NOTICE:
Harsh chemicals such as bleach-based products can dam-
age your dishwasher.
▶
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach-based
products to clean your dishwasher.
Unsuitable 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.
▶
To prevent corrosion, do not use cellulose sponge
cloths on dishwashers with a stainless steel front or
rinse the cloths thoroughly several times before using
them for the first time.
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 dis-
penser for special salt immediately before the program
starts.
Detergent may damage the water softening system.
▶
Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system
with special dishwasher salt.

3.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power and water.
Use the Eco program.
a
The Eco program is energy-efficient and environmen-
tally friendly.
Change the sensor setting to the default.
a
Consumption is reduced.
3.2 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light bar-
rier) 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 wash
cycle, 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.

Energy and water consumption
are adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive
Adjusts the program strength for
difficult conditions of use, e.g.
stubborn dried-on food remnants.
