to the environment and can be recycled.

Plastic parts are marked with standard interna-
tional abbreviations:
– >PE<
for polyethylene, e.g. sheet wrapping
material
– >PS<
for polystyrene, e.g. padding mate-
rial (always CFC-free)
– >POM< for polyoxymethylene, e.g. plastic

Cardboard packaging is manufactured from recy-
cled paper and should be deposited in the waste
paper collection for recycling.
Disposal of old appliances
As and when you cease to use your dishwasher,
please take it to a recycling centre or to your dealer
who will, for a small contribution to the costs, dispose
of it for you.

Economical and Ecological Dishwash-
ing
•
Only connect the dishwasher to the hot water sup-
ply if your hot water is not electrically heated.
•
Ensure that the water softener is correctly
adjusted.
•
Do not pre-rinse dishes under running water.
•
When you wash a small load, the load sensor cal-
culates the amount of water necessary and short-
ens the programme. It is more economical to
always wash with a full load.
•
Select the wash programme to suit the nature and
degree of the soiling on the dishes.
•
Do not use more detergent, special salt or rinse
aid than is recommended in these operating
instructions and by the manufacturer of the
respective product.
•
The dishwasher's interior lighting stays on while
the dishwasher door is open. To save energy you
should therefore always close the dishwasher
door after loading/unloading dishes.
