First of all, read the "Safety
instructions" section!

Tips for saving energy

The following information will help you use the
product in an environmentally friendly and
energy efficient way.
Remove all caked on food residue from
the dishes before placing them in the
appliance.
Manual pre-rinsing of dishes
results in increased water and energy
consumption and is not
recommended.
Washing dishes in a household
dishwasher generally uses less energy
and water than hand washing when
the household dishwasher is used
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Operate the product after filling it
completely.
To select a programme, see the
"Program data and average
consumption values" table in the Quick
guide.
Do not add more detergent than
suggested on the detergent package.

Water softening system

The product is equipped with a water softening
system which reduces the hardness of incoming
water. This system softens the water entering the
appliance to a level that will allow the dishes to
be washed at the required quality.
The hardness of the water in your
supply should be softened if it is above
7°dH. Otherwise, the hardness-causing
ions will accumulate on the dishes and
may decrease the washing, rinsing and
drying performance of the machine.
System setting
water softening
The washing performance increases
if the water softening system is set
correctly.
Read the "Quick Guide - Adjusting
the Water Softening System"
before this section!
Regeneration of the water
softening system can be carried
out in all programs during the
drying step. When regeneration
takes place, the duration, energy
and water consumption of the
program increase.
For the regeneration process; the
frequency of the regeneration cycle,
the maximum additional time, the
water and energy consumption are
indicated in the table below in
