sponge cloths on dishwashers with
a stainless steel front or rinse such
cloths thoroughly several times be-
fore using them for the first time.
3 Environmental protec-
tion and saving energy

3.3 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.
3.4 Sensors
The sensors adjust the programme
sequence and strength in the auto-
matic programmes depending on the
level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity
settings that can be changed in the
basic settings.
