The appliance returns to the programme
selection.
Make sure that there is
detergent in the detergent
dispenser before you start a
new programme.
8.8 Opening the door while
the appliance operates
Opening the door while a programme is
running stops the appliance. It may affect
the energy consumption and the
programme duration. After closing the
door, the appliance continues from the
point of interruption.
If the door is opened for
more than 30 seconds
during the drying phase, the
running programme ends. It
does not happen if the door
is opened by AirDry
function.
9. HINTS AND TIPS
9.1 General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal
cleaning and drying results in daily use
and to help you protect the environment.
• Remove larger residues of food from
the dishes into the waste bin.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand.
When needed, select a programme
with a prewash phase.
• Always use the whole space of the
baskets.
• Make sure that items in the baskets
do not touch or cover each other.
Only then can the water completely
reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent,
rinse aid and salt separately or you
can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ''All in
1''). Follow the instructions on the
packaging.
• Select a programme according to the
type of load and the degree of soil.
ECO offers the most efficient use of
water and energy consumption.
8.9 The Auto Off function
This function saves energy by switching
the appliance off when it is not
operating.
The function comes into operation
automatically:
• When the programme is completed.
• After 5 minutes if a programme was
not started.
8.10 End of the programme
When the programme is complete, the
display shows 0:00.
The Auto Off function switches the
appliance off automatically.
All buttons are inactive except for the
on/off button.
9.2 Using salt, rinse aid and
detergent
• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent
designed for dishwasher. Other
products can cause damage to the
appliance.
• In areas with hard and very hard
water, we recommend to use basic
dishwasher detergent (powder, gel,
tablets containing no additional
agents), rinse aid and salt separately
for optimal cleaning and drying
results.
• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve
with short programmes. To prevent
detergent residues on the tableware,
we recommend that you use tablets
with long programmes.
• Do not use more than the correct
quantity of detergent. Refer to the
instructions on the detergent
packaging.
