Instruction for use

“Intelligent Dialogue” is
the new programme for
free-standing appliances
from Bauknecht. New
intelligent and practical
functions allow more free
time for the things that
are really important in
life.
The new “Intelligent
Dialogue” dishwasher from
Bauknecht, with its direct
dialogue between man and
machine, represent a whole
new approach to operating
appliances. The new
“Intelligent Dialogue”
dishwasher from Bauknecht
speaks a completely new
appliance language. The
electronic LCD display guide
you in a focused and user-
friendly manner through all
the wash cycles and wash
functions and even actively
assist should problems arise.
Due to an innovative
interval-based washing
system, the new dishwashers
achieve better performance
with decreased consumption
of water and power. Stated
clearly: only 13 litres of water
for a cycle length that has
been reduced to 110
minutes.
The new LCD display willingly
provides information: it
“tells” how to correctly
programme the appliance,
continuously indicates cycle
lengths and time remaining,
and monitors the wash
process from start to finish.
In addition, the dishwasher’s
memory function
immediately saves, for the
next time, the most recent
wash cycle selected. And that
is not all Intelligent Dialogue
is capable of: the appliance
provides hints and tips on
how to remove stubborn
grime from kitchenware plus
a “help programme” and
suggestions on how to fix
faults. In case it should be
required, the LCD display,
also provides the telephone
number of the customer
service contact.
Thanks to proven, patented
Dynamic Sense Technology,
“senses” all on its own, just
how much water, time and
energy the dishwasher
requires in order to produce
a spotless result each time. In
this way water and energy
consumption can be reduced
by up to 30%. The
environment and your purse
will thank you for it.
You are sure to enjoy your
quality Bauknecht purchase
for a long time to come!

Navigation system:

An advanced dual sensor technology optimising all resources while guaranteeing best
washing results.
DYNAMIC SENSE
The dual sensor technology:
Real evaluation of water dirtiness
- Transmission signal measures liquid dirt
- Reflection signal measures solid dirt
Continuous sensing:
- Every 10 seconds, a new measurement is taken
- The machine continuously adapts the program according to
the level of dirtiness in the water.
Easy to use No risk in selecting the wrong program:
Your machine will decide on the washing parameters by
itself.
No more need to clean by
hand
Even your dirtiest pots and pans (burnt on and dried on)
will come out perfectly clean with the sensor Intensive
programme.
Maximum savings The dual sensor system will detect when your load is
perfectly clean and stop the programme. You will use only
the amount of water, energy and time that is necessary.
