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
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
3.1 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.
3.2 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your
appliance will use less electricity and
less water.

3.3 Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith con-
tainer. Zeolith drying lets you save
energy.
Zeolite is a mineral that can store
moisture and heat energy and then
release them again.
During dishwashing heat energy is
used to heat up the washing water
and dry the mineral.
During the drying phase moisture
from the interior of the dishwasher is
stored in the mineral and heat energy
is released. The heat energy is blown
out into the interior of the dishwasher
with dry air. This speeds up and im-
proves drying.
Zeolith drying therefore saves a great
deal of energy.
Tip:
To avoid impairing Zeolith drying
performance, do not position table-
ware parts directly in front of the in-
take opening or the blow opening of
the Zeolith container.
Do not position heat-sensitive table-
ware parts directly in front of the blow
opening of the Zeolith container.

3.4 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical meas-
uring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the washing
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 running time are
additionally adjusted to the level of
soiling.
