Programmes, Options and Usage Details

The dishwasher offers programmes suited to different levels of soil. The normal programme is suitable for normal degrees of dirt for everyday use. The eco programme uses a low amount of water and energy to provide an environmentally friendly cleaning option. A soak programme provides a rinse to prevent dirt from drying. There is also a wash cycle for normally soiled mixed loads such as dishes and pans, even with dried–on residues, and a programme suitable for washing and drying heavily soiled items with encrusted residues.

The auto programme uses Aquatest to measure the clarity of the water and automatically adjusts the washing parameters, ensuring the minimum consumption of water and energy. Excellent insulation and special devices help keep noise to a minimum during operation.

The delay timer can postpone the start of the programme by up to 24 hours, and includes an automatic soak. An option is available which improves washing results by increasing the wash temperature and duration. The crystal option provides special care for delicate loads, preventing rapid changes in wash temperature and reducing it. The sterilise option keeps the temperature between 65 and 70°C for at least 10 minutes during the last rinsing phase to provide better cleaning results.

A symbols glossary explains that System WaterSave ensures the best washing results with minimal water consumption, depending on the model of dishwasher.
