Usage Features
The dishwasher offers a range of programmes and additional functions to optimize cleaning performance and energy efficiency:
- Programmes:
- Intensive 70°: For stubborn, burned, or dried-on food remnants containing starch and protein on pots, pans, non-fragile tableware, and cutlery.
- Auto 45-65°: Sensor-controlled programme for mixed tableware and cutlery with common household food remnants, optimized based on washing water soiling.
- Eco 50°: The most economical programme for mixed tableware and cutlery with lightly dried-on food remnants, featuring longer soaking and drying times for optimal consumption values.
- Glass 40°: Particularly gentle programme for delicate tableware, temperature-sensitive plastics, glasses, and stemware with lightly adhering fresh food remnants.
- Express 65° - 1h: Time-optimized programme for mixed tableware and cutlery with common household food remnants.
- Express 45°: Time-optimized programme for delicate tableware, temperature-sensitive plastics, and glasses with lightly adhering fresh food remnants.
- Additional Functions:
- Half Load: Reduces running time, water, and energy consumption for small loads. It is recommended to add less detergent.
- Hygiene+: Ensures a higher hygiene status by raising and maintaining a higher temperature for an extended period, suitable for cleaning chopping boards or baby bottles. Increases running time and energy consumption.
- IntensiveZone: Increases spray pressure in the bottom basket and maintains maximum programme temperature longer for mixed loads with different soiling levels, especially for very soiled pots and pans in the bottom basket. Increases running time and energy consumption.
- Pre-Treatment: Heated pre-rinsing with a steam phase to improve cleaning performance. Extends running time and increases water and energy consumption.
- Tableware Arrangement: The appliance includes a top basket with adjustable height, a cutlery drawer, and folding prongs in the bottom basket to securely position various items. An "Extra Clean Zone" in the top basket provides thorough cleaning for heavily soiled items like muesli bowls.
- Detergent: Supports tabs, powder, and liquid detergents. Separate detergents (special salt and rinse aid) are recommended for optimum washing and drying results, especially with water hardness above 17 °E. Combined detergents are suitable for water hardness up to 26 °E.
- Timer Programming: Allows delaying the start of a programme by up to 24 hours.
- InfoLight: Projects a spot of light onto the floor below the appliance door while the programme is running, indicating operating status.
Maintenance Features
Regular cleaning and servicing are crucial for the appliance's long-term efficiency:
- Cleaning the Tub: Remove coarse soiling with a damp cloth, add detergent, select the highest temperature programme, and start without tableware.
- Filter System: The filter system (micro filter, fine filter, coarse filter) removes coarse soiling. Filters should be checked for residue after each wash and cleaned under running water.
- Spray Arms: Limescale and soiling can block nozzles and bearings. Spray arms should be cleaned regularly by unscrewing and removing them to check for blockages.
- Wastewater Pump: Large food remnants or foreign bodies can block the wastewater pump. If water does not drain properly, the pump cover should be removed, and the impeller area cleaned.
- Door Seals: Regularly wipe door seals, the front of the dishwasher, and the control panel with a damp cloth and washing-up liquid to maintain hygiene.
- Frost Protection: If there is a risk of frost, the appliance should be completely emptied.
The appliance also provides troubleshooting information for common faults, such as water protection system activation, water supply issues, drainage problems, and poor cleaning results.
