by the warranty.
Special salt for dishwashers can damage the tub due to
corrosion.
▶
To make sure that any special salt that escapes is
washed out of the tub, add the special salt to the dis-
penser for special salt immediately before the program
starts.
Detergent may damage the water softening system.
▶
Only fill the dispenser of the water softening system

4.1 Saving energy
If you follow these instructions, your appliance will use
less power and water.
Use the Eco program.

The Eco program is energy-efficient and environmen-
tally friendly.
Change the sensor setting to the default.

Consumption is reduced.
Zeolith drying automatically helps to save energy.

4.2 Zeolith drying
The appliance features a Zeolith container. Zeolith drying
lets you save energy.
Zeolite is a mineral that can store moisture and energy
and then release them again.
During dishwashing energy is used to heat up the washing
water and dry the mineral.
During the drying phase, moisture from the interior of the
dishwasher is stored in the mineral and heat is released.
The heat is blown out into the interior of the dishwasher
with dry air. This speeds up and improves drying.
Therefore, zeolith drying is very efficient.
Note: To avoid impairing Zeolith drying performance, do
not position dishware parts directly in front of the intake
opening or the blow opening of the Zeolith container.
Do not position heat-sensitive dishware parts directly in
front of the blow opening of the Zeolith container.
4.3 AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device (light bar-
rier) which measures the turbidity of the washing water.
You can save water with the AquaSensor.
The operation of the AquaSensor depends on the selected
cycle. If the soiling level is high, the washing water is
drained off and replaced with fresh water. If the soiling
level is lower, the washing water is used in the next rinse,
so reducing water consumption by 3-6 liters. In the Auto
cycles the temperature and run time are additionally ad-
justed to the level of soiling.
4.4 Sensors
The sensors adjust the cycle sequence and strength in the
Auto cycles depending on the level and type of soiling.
The sensor has different sensitivity levels that can be
changed in the basic settings.

Description
Standard
Optimal setting for mixed loads
and heavily soiled dishware.
Saves both energy and water.
Sensitive
Adjusts the cycle strength for ef-
fective removal of food remnants
even with low soiling levels. En-
ergy and water consumption are
adjusted accordingly.
Very sensitive
Adjusts the cycle strength for dif-
ficult conditions of use, e.g. stub-
born dried-on food remnants.
Recommended setting when us-
