This is the standard programme for test institutes.2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It auto‐matically adjusts the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.3) This programme is suitable for washing a load with mixed soil. Place items with heavysoil in the lower basket and with normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and tempera‐ture of the water in the lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.4) This programme is designed to wash heavily soiled items with high water pressure and ata high temperature.5) This programme controls the temperature of the water to provide special care for delicateitems, glassware in particular.6) This programme is suitable for washing a load or a half load with fresh or light soil in ashort time.7) With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from the dishes and preventodours forming in the appliance.

6.2 The water softenerThe water softener removes mineralsfrom the water supply, which would have

a negative effect on the washing resultsand on the appliance.The higher the content of these minerals,the harder your water is. Water hardnessis measured in equivalent scales.The water softener should be adjustedaccording to the hardness of the water inyour area. Your local water authority canadvise you on the hardness of the waterin your area. It is important to set theright level of the water softener to assuregood washing results.

Softening hard waterincreases the consumptionof water and energy as wellas the programme duration.The higher the level of watersoftener, the higher theconsumption and the longerthe duration.

10. HINTS AND TIPS10.1 GeneralFollow the hints below to ensure optimalcleaning and drying results in daily useand 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 programmewith a prewash phase.

• Always use the whole space of thebaskets.

• Make sure that items in the basketsdo not touch or cover each other.Only then can the water completelyreach and wash the dishes.

• You can use dishwasher detergent,rinse aid and salt separately or youcan use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in1''). Follow the instructions on thepackaging.

• Select a programme according to thetype of load and the degree of soil.ECO offers the most efficient use ofwater and energy consumption.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid anddetergent• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent

for dishwasher. Other products cancause damage to the appliance.

ENGLISH 17

• In areas with hard and very hardwater we recommend to use plaindishwasher detergent (powder, gel,tablets containing no additionalagents), rinse aid and salt separatelyfor optimal cleaning and dryingresults.

• At least once a month run theappliance with the use of appliancecleaner which is particularly suitablefor this purpose.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolvewith short programmes. To preventdetergent residues on the tableware,we recommend that you use thetablets with long programmes.

• Do not use more than the correctquantity of detergent. Refer to theinstructions on the detergentpackaging.

10.3 What to do if you want tostop using multi-tabletsBefore you start to use separatelydetergent, salt and rinse aid, completethe following steps:1. Set the highest level of the water

softener.2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid

containers are full.3. Start the shortest programme with a

rinsing phase. Do not add detergentand do not load the baskets.

4. When the programme is completed,adjust the water softener accordingto the water hardness in your area.

5. Adjust the released quantity of rinseaid.

6. Activate the rinse aid emptynotification.

10.4 Loading the baskets• Use the appliance to wash

dishwasher-safe items only.• Do not wash in the appliance items

made of wood, horn, aluminium,pewter and copper.

• Put light items in the upper basket.Make sure that the items do not movefreely.

• Put cutlery and small items in thecutlery drawer.

• Make sure that the spray arms canmove freely before you start aprogramme.

10.5 Before starting aprogrammeBefore you start the selectedprogramme, make sure that:• The filters are clean and correctly

installed.• The cap of the salt container is tight.• The spray arms are not clogged.• There is enough salt and rinse aid

(unless you use multi-tablets).• The arrangement of the items in the

baskets is correct.• The programme is suitable to the type

of load and the degree of soil.• The correct quantity of detergent is

used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets1. Let the tableware cool down before
