Heat accumulator
This dishwasher is equipped with a heat
accumulator, in which fresh water for
the programme is pre-heated and
stored in order to save energy. The heat
accumulator is refilled with fresh water
towards the end of each rinse cycle.
The water is held here ready for the
next rinse cycle.
If you do not wish to use this function, it
can be switched off (see “Settings –
Heat accumulator”).
If the water in the heat accumulator has
not been used for several weeks, the
water will be automatically drained off
for hygiene reasons. This procedure
takes a few minutes and will occur even
with the dishwasher switched off or the
door open.
Please ensure that the dishwasher is
properly connected.
The display will remain dark while the
heat accumulator is drained off. If you
touch the
sensor control, the display
will show the message
Empty accumu-
lator
. Other functions will be unavailable
during this procedure.
Automatic emptying cannot be interrup-
ted.
During the subsequent programme se-
quence, water and energy consumption
will be higher.
The heat accumulator can be manually
drained for transporting the dishwasher,
e.g. when moving house (see “Settings
– Heat accumulator”).
The heat accumulator should only be
used in conjunction with a cold water
connection.
This function should be switched off
if your dishwasher is connected to a
hot water connection.
