Operating the Dishwasher Note: With hidden controls, the door must be opened before changing settings and closed after changing settings. 9 WARNING RISK OF INJURY To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided. To reduce risk of injury, do not allow children to play in or on the dishwasher. When children become old enough to operate the appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents/legal guardians to ensure the children are instructed in safe practices by qualified persons. Protection against unintentional operation Your dishwasher is equipped with a function that helps to prevent unintentional operation (e.g. by children). After starting the dishwasher, the dishwasher door has to be closed within 4 seconds, otherwise the operation will be paused. There will be a signal on the control panel advising you to press the Start button again and close the door. This function will be activated when: ▯ pressing Start to begin a wash cycle ▯ setting Delay time and pressing Start ▯ opening the door while Delay time is active ▯ opening the door during a wash cycle. Note: This function cannot be deactivated. Operating the touch buttons Buttons are sensitive and should be touched gently. Avoid any grease or food particles resting on the buttons as they could activate the dishwasher. Wiping and cleaning can also activate the dishwasher. For best results, use bare, clean hands when touching the buttons. To clean the touch buttons wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

AquaSensor The AquaSensor is an optical measuring device which measures the cleanliness of the rinse water. The AquaSensor is used according to the wash cycle. If the AquaSensor is active, "clean" rinse water can be transferred to the next rinse and water consumption can be reduced by 0.8-1-5 gal (3-6 liters). If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water. In the automatic wash cycles the temperature and running time can also be adjusted to the degree of soiling. Sensor setting In its automatic programs the appliance uses sensors to optimise their operation. The sensors adjust the strength of the automatic programs according to the amount and type of soiling. You can choose from three levels of sensitivity for the sensors. Sensor setting This setting is ideal for a mixed load and heavily soiled utensils, but it also saves energy and water. Sensor setting This setting adjusts the programme strength for the effective removal of food remnants, even if the amount of soiling is low. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly. Sensor setting This setting adjusts the program strength for difficult conditions of use, for example firmly dried on food remnants. This setting is recommended if you are using biological or eco detergents which contain smaller quantities of active agents. The energy and water consumption is adjusted accordingly. Time display When a wash cycle is selected the remaining wash cycle time is shown on the display H. The wash cycle time is determined during the wash cycle by the water temperature, the amount of dishes, as well as the degree of soiling and may vary (depending on the selected wash cycle). 31
