Energy saving washing

This dishwasher is exceptionally

economical in the use of water and

electricity. For best results follow these

tips:

^

You may connect the commercial

dishwasher to a hot water line. This is

particularly suitable with

energy-saving water heating sources

such as solar energy systems.

If the hot water system is electrically

heated and if loads comprise

primarily glassware we recommend

connecting the appliance to the cold

water line.

^ For fastest possible wash times, with

slightly higher energy consumption,

connect the dishwasher to a hot

water source.

^ Make full use of the baskets without

overloading for the most economical

washing.

^ Choose a program that best suits the

degree of soiling and the type of

dishes being washed.

^

Use the Normal program for energy

saving dishwashing.

From the aspect of combined energy

and water consumption, this program

is the most efficient for washing

normally soiled dishes.

^

Observe the detergent

manufacturer's recommendations for

detergent dosage.

^

When using powder or gel detergent,

reduce the amount to

1

/

3

of the

normal amount when washing a small

load.

Help to protect the environment

14

– The dishwasher must be

programmed to exactly match the

hardness of your water.

–

Your local water authority can tell you

the water hardness level in your area.

–

Where the water hardness fluctuates

[e.g. 18 - 26 gr/gal (17 - 25 °d)],

always program the dishwasher to

the higher value [(in this example

26 gr/gal (25 °d)].

It is useful to know your water hardness

so that you can provide the service

technician with this information in the

event of any service calls.

Please note your water hardness below:

°d (gr/gal)

The water hardness factory setting is

15 °d (16 gr/gal).

^

cycle is completed.

Before using for the first time

17

Every dishwasher is tested before

leaving the factory. Any water

remaining in the machine is from the

final factory test and does not

indicate that the machine has been

used.

Filling the salt container

To achieve good cleaning results, the

dishwasher needs soft water (water that

is low in minerals). Hard water results in

calcium deposits on dishware and in

the dishwasher.

Therefore, tap water with a hardness of

4 °d (4 gr/gal) or more must be

softened. This takes place

automatically in the integrated water

softener. The water softener requires

reactivation salt. The water softener is

suitable for a water hardness of up to

36 °d (37 gr/gal).

See "Settings - Water hardness" for

setting the water softener.

If the hardness of your water is

always below 4 °d (4 gr/gal), you do

not need any salt.

However, you must still program

your dishwasher for your water

hardness.

,

Inadvertently filling the salt

container with dishwashing

detergent (including liquid

detergent) will damage the water

softener.

,

Only use water softener salt

specially formulated for

dishwashers. Other salts may

contain insoluble additives which

can impair the water softener.

Before using for the first time

18

^

Only open the door half way when

adding salt to avoid spilling it.

^ Press the button on the top of the salt

reservoir in the direction of the arrow.

The cover will pop open.

^

Open the funnel.

Do not fill water into the salt

reservoir!

^ Only add just enough salt to fill the

reservoir. Depending on the type of

salt, the reservoir will hold up to

approx. 2.2 lbs (1 kg).

Never fill with more than 2.2 lbs

(1 kg) of salt.

Displaced water may run out as the

reservoir is being filled.

^

Clean any excess salt from the filling

area and close the cover of the

reservoir.

^

Immediately run the Pre-wash

program without a load in order to

remove any traces of salt from the

chamber.

Before using for the first time

19

Refill salt indicator

^

Refill the salt reservoir as soon as the

F

Refill salt message is displayed.

^

Press the center button to confirm.

The Refill salt indicator goes out.

If a sufficiently high concentration of

salt has not yet formed, Refill salt may

continue to be displayed after adding

the salt.

In this case, confirm again with the

center button.

The Refill salt message is turned off if

you have programmed the dishwasher

to a water hardness below 4 °d

(4 gr/gal).

,

Immediately after each refill run

the Pre-wash or Short program

without a load in order to remove

any traces of salt from the cabinet.
