Programmes, Functions and Safety

The dishwasher offers a range of programmes for different loads, including a wash cycle for normally soiled mixed loads such as dishes and pans, even with dried-on residues. When the Auto 50°–60° programme is selected, the appliance recognises the type of dirt and automatically adjusts the washing parameters as appropriate. The ECO programme uses a low amount of water and energy to provide an environmentally friendly cleaning option, while the soak programme provides a rinse to help prevent dirt from drying.

The delay timer can postpone the start of the programme by up to 24 hours, and the Extreme option improves the washing results of the selected programme by increasing the wash temperature and duration. Some models are equipped with special polymer anti-drip nozzles that improve the drying process. Noise levels are reduced by insulation and special devices designed to keep noise to a minimum.

Total Acquastop provides enhanced flood protection. In addition to partial Acquastop protection, an electronic device fitted to the water intake hose monitors water levels, detects leaks in the hose and switches off the water supply immediately when necessary. Models with FLEXIFIT hinges can be installed in kitchens with a plinth of just 5 cm, thanks to a sliding movement of the panel that avoids interference with the plinth.
