Operating the Dishwasher en-us
AquaSensor
The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which
measures the cleanliness of the rinse water.
The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If
the AquaSensor is active, “clean” rinse water can be
transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can
be reduced by 0.8–1-5 gal (3–6 liters). If the rinse water
is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with
fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the
temperature and running time can also be adjusted to
the degree of soiling.
Time display
The wash cycle time is determined during the wash
cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as
well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending
on the selected wash cycle). You can change the time
display into time of day or hours/minutes so that the
remaining cycle time of the wash cycle appears in the
display window “Finish at” (for example 15:20 o’clock)
or “Finish in” (for example 3:25 hours).
Sensor setting
The wash cycle sequence is optimized in Auto wash
cycles with the aid of sensors. The sensors adjust the
wash cycle strength of Auto wash cycles depending on
the amount and type of soiling. You can adjust the
sensitivity of the sensors in 3 stages.
Standard: This setting is recommend for daily regular or
typical use. This is the most energy efficient setting.
Sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle strength
for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the
amount of soiling is low. The energy and water
consumption is increased accordingly.
Very sensitive: This setting adjusts the wash cycle
strength for difficult conditions of use, for example
firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is
recommended if using biological or eco detergents
which contain lower amounts of active agents. The
energy and water consumption is increased accordingly.
Extra Dry
The final rinse uses a higher temperature which
improves the drying result. The cycle time may increase
slightly. (Caution if utensils are delicate!) You can
switch the Extra Dry function on or off. There is a slight
increase in energy consumption.
Eco forecast
When Eco forecast is activated, the average water and
energy consumption of the selected wash cycle is
briefly displayed in the digital display @.
Auto power off
This setting determines the length of time the control
panel stays illuminated after the cycle is complete.
To save energy, the recommended setting is “after one
minute”.
Possible settings are:
ʑ off: The appliance does not switch off automatically.
ʑ After one minute: The appliance switches off after
1 minute. This is the most energy efficient setting.
ʑ After two hours: The appliance switches off after
2 hours.
Tone volume
The end of the wash cycle is indicated by a buzzer. You
can also change this setting.
Button volume
When you are operating the dishwasher, a signal
sounds whenever a button is pressed. You can control
the volume of the signal. If you do not like the button
volume, you can switch it off.
