• mmol/l (millimol per litre -international unit for the hardness of water).
Adjust the water softener in to the water hardness in your area. If necessary, contact your
local water authority.

8Use this program to quickly rinse
the dishes. This prevents the re-
maining food to bond on the
dishes and bad odours to come
out from the appliance.
Do not use detergent with this
program.
Rinse
1) 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 program time.
2) This is the most silent washing program. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise.
Because of the low speed, the program time is long.
3) With this program you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
4) This is the standard program for test institutes. With this program 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.
