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.
Time display
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). You can change the 
time display into time of day or 
hours/minutes so that the remaining 
cycle time of the wash cycle appears 
in the display window “Finish at” (for 
example 15:20 o’clock) or “Finish in” 
(for example 3:25 hours).
Sensor setting
The wash cycle sequence is 
optimized in Auto wash cycles with 
the aid of sensors. The sensors 
adjust the wash cycle strength of 
Auto wash cycles depending on the 
amount and type of soiling. You can 
adjust the sensitivity of the sensors in 
3 stages.
Standard: This setting is recommend 
for daily regular or typical use. This is 
the most energy efficient setting. 
Sensitive: This setting adjusts the 
wash cycle strength for the effective 
removal of food remnants, even if the 
amount of soiling is low. The energy 
and water consumption is increased 
accordingly.
Very sensitive: This setting adjusts 
the wash cycle strength for difficult 
conditions of use, for example firmly 
dried on food remnants. This setting 
is recommended if using biological 
or eco detergents which contain 
lower amounts of active agents. The 
energy and water consumption is 
increased accordingly.
Extra Dry
The final rinse uses a higher 
temperature which improves 
the drying result. The cycle time may 
increase slightly. (Caution if utensils 
are delicate!) You can switch the 
Extra Dry function on or off. There is 
a slight increase in energy 
consumption.
Eco forecast
When Eco forecast is activated, the 
average water and energy 
consumption of the selected wash 
cycle is briefly displayed in the digital 
display @. 
Auto power off
This setting determines the length of 
time the control panel stays 
illuminated after the cycle is 
complete. 
To save energy, the recommended 
setting is “after one minute”.
Possible settings are:
■ off: The appliance does not 
switch off automatically.
■ After one minute: The appliance 
switches off after 1 minute. This is 
the most energy efficient setting.
■ After two hours: The appliance 
switches off after 2 hours.
