Washing dishes
Reduce costs!
If only a small number of
dishes have been loaded into
the dishwasher, selecting a
programme that operates at
the next lowest temperature
will usually suffice.
Programme data
The stated programme data are based on
standard operating conditions. The values
can vary considerably according to:
different amounts of dishes
temperature of mains water supply
pressure of mains water supply
ambient temperature
fluctuations in mains voltage
machine-related factors (e.g.
temperature, water volume, ...).
Energy and water consumption is reduced
by up to 1/4 when dishes are washed in
the upper basket only.
Water consumption values are based on a
water hardness setting of 4.
Aquasensor
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring
device with which the cloudiness of the
water in the dishwasher is measured. A
photoelectric sensor is used to detect the
degree of soiling in the water, caused by
dissolved food particles such as egg, fat
and rolled oats, etc.
The Aquasensor functions during all
programmes that include a pre-rinse cycle.
If the water is still “clean” at the end of the
pre-rinse cycle, then the same water is
used for the following wash cycle. If the
water is dirty, it is pumped out of the
dishwasher and replaced by fresh water.
The effect is to reduce water consumption
by approx. 4 litres when the dishes are
only “slightly” dirty.
Switching the dishwasher ON
Set main switch
1
to ON.
Indicators light up according to the last
programme that was selected.
This same programme will run again if
no other programme button
7
is
pressed.
The programme starts automatically.
End of programme
The programme has ended when a figure
appears in the numerical display
3
.
Switching the dishwasher OFF
Several minutes after the programme has
ended:
Set the main switch
1
to OFF.
Turn the water tap off.
(Does not apply when Aqua-Stop unit
has been fitted)
Remove dishes, etc. when they have
cooled down.
Interrupting the programme
Set main switch
1
to OFF.
Indicator lights extinguish. The
programme is retained in the
dishwasher memory.
If the hot water was switched ON or the
appliance has already heated up and
then the appliance door opened, leave
the door ajar for several minutes and
then close.
Otherwise, the appliance door may fly
open due to expansion.
In order to continue with the stored
programme, set the main switch to ON
again.
