The appliance senses the type 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.
2)
3)
This programme includes the ExtraHygiene option.
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.
4)
5)
With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a
short time.
This is the standard programme for test institutes. With this programme you have the most
efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.
Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.
6)
With this programme you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower
basket and normal soil in the upper basket. The water pressure and the water temperature
in the lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.

BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Make sure that the set level of the
ADJUSTING THE WATER
SOFTENER
water softener agrees with the water
hardness in your area. If not, adjust
the water softener. Contact your lo-
cal water authority to know the wa-
ter hardness in your area.
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.
Refer to the table to adjust the water
softener to the right level. It makes sure
that the water softener uses the correct
quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
2. Fill the salt container.
3. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
4. Open the water tap.
5. Processing residues can stay in the
appliance. Start a programme to re-
move them. Do not use detergent
and do not load the baskets.
If you use the combi detergent
tablets, activate the multitab
function. These tablets contain
detergent, 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.
You must adjust the water soft-
ener manually and electronical-
