ENGLISH 25Programme Degree of soil

With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for

crockery and cutlery with normal soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).

The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It

automatically adjusts the temperature and quantity of the water, the energy consumption

and the programme duration.

With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a

Use this programme to quickly rinse the dishes. This prevents the remaining food to bond

on the dishes and bad odours to come out from the appliance.

Do not use detergent with this programme.

The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the

options and the quantity of dishes can change the values.

ENGLISH 318. HINTS AND TIPS

8.1 The water softener

Hard water contains a high quantity of

minerals that can cause damage to the

appliance and bad washing results. The

water softener neutralises these minerals.

The dishwasher salt keeps the water soft-

ener clean and in good conditions. It is

important to set the right level of the water

softener. This makes sure that the water

softener uses the correct quantity of dish-

washer salt and water.

8.2 Using salt, rinse aid and

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent

for dishwasher. Other products can

cause damage to the appliance.

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rins-

ing phase, to dry the dishes without

• Combi detergent tablets contain deter-

gent, rinse aid and other added agents.

Be sure that these tablets are applica-

ble to the water hardness in your area.

Refer to the instructions on the packag-

ing of the products.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve

with short programmes. To prevent de-

tergent residues on the tableware, we

recommend that you use the tablets

with long programmes.
