4 Product description
4.1 Mode of operation
The boiler and the tank fill and are warmed up to the operating temperature after the machine is switched on.
During the heating phase, the light in the start button (3) changes gradually from red to green. When the
target temperatures are reached, the machine is ready for use. The start button lights up green.
The machine is fully automatic with programmes consisting of three steps: Wash, Drain and Rinse. While a
wash programme is running, the start button gradually changes from blue to green.
4.2 Special equipment (in Canada not available)
The following special equipment is available:

PG 8172 ECO (model)
The construction above the machine has a fan motor and a heat exchanger. After rinsing, the fan motor
draws the steam and vapours (= exhaust air) out of the interior through the heat exchanger. The cold
fresh water flowing through the heat exchanger condenses the vapours and is preheated for the rinsing of
the next wash programme. Less energy is therefore required to heat the fresh water to the recommended
rinse temperature. A waste water heat exchanger provides an additional energy gain. This system also
sustainably improves the kitchen climate because when you open the hood there are less vapours from
the machine.
Requirement: Connect the machine to the cold water.

Automatic hood opening (special accessory to be installed by the service technician)
The hood opens automatically after each wash cycle.

Internal water softener (  6)
