The washing results are the same as with the
normal programme duration. The drying results can
decrease.
If the option is not applicable to the programme, the
related indicator does not turn on or it flashes
quickly for a few seconds and then turns off.
Opening the door while the appliance
operates
Opening the door while a programme is running
stops the appliance. It may affect the energy
consumption and the programme duration. After
closing the door, the appliance continues from the
point of interruption.
If the door is opened during the drying
phase, before AirDry automatically
opens it, the programme ends after 30
seconds.
If the door is closed after it is opened
automatically by AirDry in the drying
phase, the programme ends after 3
minutes.
Do not try to close the appliance door
within 2 minutes after AirDry
automatically opens it, as this may
cause damage to the appliance.
End of the programme
When the programme is completed the display
shows 0:00 and the end indicator is on.
All buttons are inactive except for the on/off button.
1. Press the on/off button or wait for the AUTO
OFF function to automatically deactivate the
appliance.
If you open the door before the activation of
AUTO OFF, the appliance is automatically
deactivated.
2. Close the water tap.
HINTS AND TIPS
GENERAL
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning
and drying results in daily use and to help you
protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes
into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. When needed,
select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not
touch or cover each other. Only then can the
water completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid
and salt separately or you can use the multi-
tablets (e.g. ''All in 1''). Follow the instructions
on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type of
load and the degree of soil. Eco offers the most
efficient use of water and energy consumption.
THE WATER SOFTENER
The water softener removes minerals from the
water supply, which would have a detrimental effect
on the washing results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals, the harder
your water is. Water hardness is measured in
equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted according to
the hardness of the water in your area. Your local
water authority can advise you on the hardness of
the water in your area. It is important to set the right
level of the water softener to assure good washing
results.
USING SALT, RINSE AID AND DETERGENT
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause damage
to the appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard water we
recommend to use plain dishwasher detergent
(powder, gel, tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal
cleaning and drying results.
• At least once a month run the appliance with the
use of appliance cleaner which is particularly
suitable for this purpose.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short
programmes. To prevent detergent residues on
the tableware, we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct quantity of
detergent. Refer to the instructions on the
detergent packaging.
