The AquaSensor is an optical meas-
uring device (light barrier) which
measures the turbidity of the washing
water. You can save water with the
AquaSensor.
Use of the AquaSensor depends on
the programme. If the soiling level is
low, the washing water is used in the
next wash cycle, allowing water con-
sumption to be reduced by 2-4 litres.
If the soiling level is higher, the wash-
ing water is drained off and replaced
with fresh water. In the automatic pro-
grammes the temperature and run-
ning time are additionally adjusted to
the level of soiling.

up, add special salt to the dispenser
for special salt just before the pro-
gramme starts. The amount of spe-
cial salt required depends on the wa-
ter hardness: the higher the water
hardness, the greater the amount of
special salt required.
ATTENTION!
¡ Detergent may damage the water
softening system.
▶
Only fill the dispenser of the wa-
ter softening system with special
dishwasher salt.
¡ Special salt can damage the tub
due to corrosion.
▶
To make sure that any special
salt that escapes is washed out
of the tub, add the special salt
to the dispenser for special salt
immediately before the pro-
gramme starts.
1. Unscrew the lid of the dispenser
for special salt and remove.
2. On initial start-up: Fill the dispenser
right up with water.
3. Note:Only use special salt for
dishwashers.
Do not use salt tablets.
Do not use table salt.
Add the special salt to the dis-
penser.

Regeneration of the water
softening system
In order to obtain fault-free function of
the water softening system, the appli-
ance performs reheating of the water
softening system at regular intervals.
Regeneration of the water softening
system takes place before the end of
the main rinse cycle in all pro-
grammes. It will increase the run time
and consumption values, e.g. water
and electricity.
Overview of consumption values with regeneration the water softening
system
Here you can find an overview of the maximum additional running time and
consumption values during regeneration of the water softening system.
You can find the column applicable to your model in the quick reference guide

Suitable detergents
Only use detergents that are suitable
for dishwashers. Both separate and
combined detergents are suitable.
For optimum washing and drying res-
ults, use separate detergent, adding
"Special salt" →Page22 and "Rinse
aid" →Page24 separately.
Modern, powerful detergents mainly
use a low-alkaline formulation with
enzymes. Enzymes break down
starch and remove protein. Oxygen-
based bleaching agents are generally
used to remove coloured marks, e.g.
tea or ketchup.
Note:Follow the manufacturer's in-
structions for each detergent.
Detergent Description
Tabs Tabs are suitable for all
cleaning functions and do
not need to be measured
out.
With shorter Programmes
tabs sometimes do not dis-
solve entirely and leave
residues of detergent. This
may impair the cleaning ef-
fect.
Detergent Description
Powder deter-
gent
Powder detergent is re-
commended for shorter
Programmes.
The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.
Liquid detergent Liquid detergent works
faster and is recommen-
ded for shorter Pro-
grammes without PreR-
inse.
Sometimes liquid deter-
gent may leak out despite
the detergent dispenser
being closed. This is not a
fault and is non-critical if
you remember the follow-
ing:
¡ Only choose a pro-
gramme without PreR-
inse.
¡ Do not select timer pro-
gramming for starting
the programme.
The dosage can be adjus-
ted to the level of soiling.
Tip:Suitable detergents are available
online via our website or from "Cus-
tomer Service" →Page47.
Separate detergents
Separate detergents are products
that do not contain components other
than detergent, e.g. powder deter-
gent or liquid detergent.
With powder and liquid detergent the
dosage can be individually adjusted
to the level of soiling of the table-
ware.
For better washing and drying results
and to avoid damage to the appli-
ance, please additionally use "Spe-
cial salt" →Page22 and "Rinse aid"
→Page24.

Combined detergent
Besides conventional separate deter-
gents, a number of products are
available with additional functions.
These products contain not only de-
tergent but also rinse aid and salt re-
placement substances (3in1) and,
depending on the combination (4in1,
5in1,...), additional components such
as glass protection or stainless steel
cleaner.
According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents generally only func-
tion up to a water hardness of 26°E.
With a water hardness above 26°E
you will need to add special salt and
rinse aid. For the best washing and
drying results we recommend using
special salt and rinse aid from a wa-
ter hardness of 17°E. If you are us-
ing combined detergent, the washing
programme is adjusted automatically
to ensure the best possible washing
and drying result.
Unsuitable detergents
Do not use detergent which could
cause damage to the appliance or
present a risk to health.

ware may present a risk to
health.
Information on detergents
Follow the instructions on detergents
in everyday use.
¡ Detergents marked as "organic" or
"ecological" (environmentally
friendly) generally contain lower
levels of active agents or com-
pletely dispense with certain sub-
stances. The cleaning effect may
be restricted here.
¡ Set the rinse aid and the water
softening system to the separate
detergent or combined detergent
in use.
¡ According to manufacturers, com-
bined detergents with salt replace-
ment substances can only be used
up to a certain water hardness,
usually 26°E, without adding spe-
cial salt. For the best washing and
drying results we recommend us-
ing special salt from a water hard-
ness of 17°E.
¡ To prevent sticking, only touch de-
tergents in a water-soluble pouch
with dry hands and only ever place
them in a dry detergent dispenser.
¡ Even if the rinse aid and special
salt refill indicators light up, wash-
ing programmes will run properly
with combined detergents.
¡ The function of rinse aid is limited
with combined detergents. You will
generally get better results using
rinse aid.
¡ Use tablets with a special drying
performance.
