SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Economy Wash
These dishwashers are extremely
water and energy saving. Note the
following hints:
© Connect dishwasher to hot water.
This saves time and energy and
protects the dishes.
Energy costs are further reduced it
the water is pre-heated.
@ Fill the baskets to full capacity, but
do not overload.
® Select a program according to
type of load and amount of soils.
€ For half-loaded baskets, select
"Economy" Program,
€ Pay attention to dosage instruc-
tions for the detergent.

Opening and Closing the Door
To Open
@ Hold handgrip and push up.
If door is opened during operation, all
functions are automatically interrupted.
To Close
© Insert baskets.
© Pul door up and close unti it catches.

Water Softener
To prevent mineral deposits on
dishes and inside the dishwasher, the
water must first be softened, if it is
harder than 8 grains per gallon.
The built-in water softener works
efficiently only it

set
correctly
2. the salt container is kept full.
Exception:
If the degree of hardness in local
water is permanently under 8 grains
per gallon (140 mglliter) with low
carbonate hardness, there is no need
to reactivate. Your local water autho-
rity will advise you on water hardness
in your area.
Water Hardness Selector
After consulting your local water au-
thority to establish water hardness in
your area, adjust the selector accord-
ing to the table below, using a screw-
driver or coin.
Water Hardness Selector Adjustments
6 positions are possible:
IF your dishwasher is set with fill time
option, (see p. 28), the water hard-
ness selector must be set one setting
higher than for the normal water hard-
ness setting (except with 1170-1250
mg/l).

Water Softener / Filling Salt Reservoir
Please use only special coarse-
grained reactivation salt, as other
Salts may contain insoluble additives
which can impair the functioning of
the softener.
Inadvertently filing the
tainer with dishwasher detergent
will always lead to damage to the
water softener.
Make sure that you have pioked up
the right packet of reactivating salt
before filing the salt container.
