2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically ad-
justs the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
3) 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 pressure and the temperature of the water in the lower basket are
higher than in the upper basket.
4) 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.
5) With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

The following hints will ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and also help to protect the
environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, use the prewash
programme (if available) or select a
programme with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• When loading the appliance, make
sure that the dishes can be
completely reached and washed by
the water released from the spray arm
nozzles. Make sure that items do not
touch or cover each other.
• You can use dishwasher detergent
and rinse aid separately or you can
use the multi-tablets. Follow the
instructions written on the packaging.
• Select the programme according to
the type of load and degree of soil.
With the ECO programme you have
the most efficient use of water and
energy consumption for crockery and
cutlery with normal soil.
10.2 Using rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use rinse aid and detergent for
dishwasher. Other products can cause
damage to the appliance.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programs. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use the
tablets with long programs.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
10.3 Loading the baskets
• Only use the appliance to wash items
that are dishwasher-safe.
• Do not put in the appliance items
made of wood, horn, aluminium,
pewter and copper.

can absorb water (sponges,
household cloths).
• Remove remaining food from the
items.
• Make soft the remaining burned food
on the items.
• 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 small items in the cutlery basket.
• Put light items in the upper basket.
Make sure that the items do not
move.
• Make sure that the spray arm can
move freely before you start a
programme.

12. THE WASHING AND DRYING RESULTS ARE NOT
SATISFACTORY
Problem Possible cause and solution
Poor washing results. • Refer to "Daily use", "Hints and tips" and basket
loading leaflet.
• Use more intensive washing programmes.
Poor drying results. • Tableware has been left for too long inside a closed
appliance.
• There is no rinse aid or the dosage of rinse aid is not
enough. Set the rinse aid dispenser to a higher level.
• Plastic items may need to be towel dried.
• For the best drying performance activate the option
XtraDry.
• We recommend to always use rinse aid, even in com-
bination with multi-tablets.
There are whitish streaks or
bluish layers on glasses and
dishes.
• The release quantity of rinse aid is too much. Adjust
the rinse aid level to a lower level.
• The quantity of detergent is too much.
There are stains and dry water
drops on glasses and dishes.
• The released quantity of rinse aid is not sufficient. Ad-
just the rinse aid level to a higher level.
