Detergent amount
This function will only be visible
when the External dispenser option
has been activated.
When dispensing liquid detergent via an
external dispensing module, you can
set the dosage in millilitres or as a
percentage depending on the detergent
manufacturer's specifications.
– Amount in ml
30ml is the factory default setting.
The dispensed amount can be
modified between 10 and 100ml in
2ml steps.
– Amount as %
0.50 % is the factory default setting.
The dispensed amount can be
modified between 0.17 and 1.67% in
0.03 to 0.04% steps.
Setting the dosage:
Set the dosage according to the
detergent manufacturer's
recommendations.
The dishwasher uses approx. 6.5l of
water for the main wash programme.
Example:
The detergent manufacturer
recommends 4ml (or 0.07%) of
detergent per litre of water.
6.5l x 4ml/l = 26ml
(6.5l x 0.07%/l = 0.455%)
 Select the desired amount of
detergent or dosage concentration
and press the middle button to
confirm.
Venting the dispensing system
The dispensing system will not
dispense reliably if there is air in the
system.
The dispensing system must be vented:
– if the dispensing system is being
used for the first time,
– if the liquid detergent reservoir was
not refilled in time and the dispensing
system was emptied completely.
– if the detergent container is being
replaced.
 To ensure that the dispensing
system functions correctly, check
before venting that the liquid
detergent container is full enough
and that the dispensing lances are
firmly attached to the containers.
 Select Start venting and press the
middle button to confirm.
The venting process will begin. The time
remaining will appear in the display.
As soon as the venting process is
completed you will be prompted to run
the Pre-wash programme. Start the
programme in order to dilute and drain
any liquid detergent that escaped into
the wash cabinet.
