Programme selection

The most appropriate programme can be
identified by comparing the type of
crockery, cutlery, etc., as well as the
amount and condition of food remains,
with the details contained in the
programme overview.

You will find the appropriate programme
information in the introduction.

Washing dishes

 Reduce costs!

If only a small number of dishes have
been loaded into the dishwasher, selecting
a programme that operates at the next
lowest temperature will usually suffice.

Programme specifications

The programme specifications can be
found in the summary of instructions.
Programme specifications refer to normal
conditions. Greater deviations may occur
due to:

varying amounts of dishes
water supply temperature
water pipe pressure
ambient temperature
mains voltage tolerances
and the tolerances specific
to the appliance (e.g. temperature,
amount of water, etc.)

The water consumption values refer
to a set water hardness value of 4.

Aqua sensor *

* some models
The Aquasensor is an optical measuring
device (light barrier) which measures
the turbidity of the rinsing water.
The Aqua sensor is used according
to the programme. When the Aqua sensor
is active, “clean” rinsing water may be
transferred into the next rinsing bath
and/or the temperature adjusted.

If the turbidity is greater, the water is
drained and is replaced with fresh water. In
this way water consumption can be
reduced by approx. 4 litres.

Switching the dishwasher ON

Turn on the tap.
Set main switch 

1

 to ON.

programme that was selected.
This same programme will run again if
no other programme button

 is

Your dishes are being cleaned.

Your dishes are being dried.

Your dishes are being rinsed.

Remaining running time display

When the appliance has started, the
expected programme running time is
displayed. The programmed running time
is affected by the water temperature, the
number of dishes, as well as the degree
of soiling. If these conditions are changed,
the running time (depending on the
selected programme) can vary greatly.
As the effect is not detected until a
programme is running, the time may
be longer or shorter than expected.

Time delay

You can delay the start of the programme
in 1-hour steps up to 24 hours.

Switch on the appliance.
Press the timer programming button
