13 OPTIONS ECO/BIO FUNCTION The Eco/Bio function r educes temperature of the main wash to 50°C and extends duration of the washing phase by 15 minutes. This sav es energy . Use the E co/Bio function to give the right temperature when using detergents con- taining enzymes.
14 ECO W ASH CHOOSE ECONOMY W ASH P ress the E-button to r educe temperature of the main wash to 50°C. Duration of the main wash- ing phase will be extended by 15 minutes to compensate the lower temperature. D etergents that contain enzymes are more efficient at lo- wer temperature and in longer washing pro - grammes.
15 For a variety of reasons, some articles are unsu- itable for machine washing. Some materials can- not withstand high temperature, others can be damaged by dishwasher detergents. SENSITIVE DECORA TION China that has “ on-glaze“ decoration (feels a litt- le rough) should not be machine washed.
16 CLEANING CLEANING The inside of the machine is made of stainless steel, which is kept clean by normal use. Ho we- ver , deposits of lime can be formed inside the machine if the water is har d. If this happens, run a N ormal wash programme with two table- spoonful of citric acid in the detergent compart- ment.
17 Spray arms Spray-arm jets and bearings may sometimes be- come clogged. Screw off the nut and take off the washer on top of the spray arm and lift off the arm. P oke out any obstr uctions with a ske- wer or other suitable pointed tool. The spray- arm jets face do wnwards.
18 TOPPING UP WITH RINSE AID Drying will be faster if you use rinse aid. The rinse-aid indicating lamp on the panel will light when the rinse-aid container becomes empty .* Ther e is also an indicator on the dispenser . See the figure. There is sufficient rinse aid available if the indicator is completely black.
