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.

This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the rinsing phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.

This is the most silent washing programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

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

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). Consumption values Programme

ENGLISH 298. 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 miner- als. The dishwasher salt keeps the water softener 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 dishwasher salt and water.

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• The rinse aid helps, during the last rinsing phase, to dry the dishes with- out streaks and stains.

• Combi detergent tablets contain de- tergent, rinse aid and other added agents. Be sure that these tablets are applicable to the water hardness in your area. Refer to the instructions on the packaging of the products.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use the tab- lets with long programmes. Do not use more than the correct quantity of detergent. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

8.3 Loading the baskets

Refer to the supplied leaflet with examples of the load of the bas- kets.

• Only use the appliance to wash items that are dishwasher-safe.

• Do not put in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pew- ter and copper.

• Do not put in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).

• Remove remaining food from the items.

• To remove easily remaining burned food, soak pots and pans in water be- fore you put them in the appliance.

• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening down.

• Make sure that cutlery and dishes do not bond together. Mix spoons with other cutlery.

• Make sure that glasses do not touch other glasses.

• Put the small items in the cutlery bas- ket.

• Put the light items in the upper bas- ket. Make sure that they do not move.

• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a pro- gramme.

8.4 Before starting a

programme Make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly in- stalled.

• The spray arms are not clogged.

• The position of the items in the bas- kets is correct.

• The programme is applicable for the type of load and for the degree of soil.

• The correct quantity of detergent is used.
