Programmes, Functions and Usage

The appliance offers a range of programmes designed for different levels and types of soiling. The Soak programme provides a rinse to prevent dirt from drying. The Crystals programme is dedicated to delicate dishes such as glasses and china. The ECO programme uses a low amount of water and energy to provide an environmentally friendly cleaning option. The Auto 45°–65° programme regulates the length of a cycle depending on the need for a pre–wash and the number of rinses required.

The Express 27' rapid programme takes just 27 minutes to wash a load. Full express – 60 minutes is also available. The Hygiene 99.9% high–temperature washing programme, with a 75° rinse, is described as guaranteeing the removal of 99.9% of germs and bacteria, making it suitable for sanitising. A Soak programme and Self clean programme are included, as well as a Quiet (–2 dB) programme and Intense programme. A Normal programme is mentioned in the glossary as suitable for normal degrees of dirt for everyday use.

The Dry Assist+ option, in addition to saving energy, is described as ensuring drying of the dishes by opening the door automatically at the end of the wash. Anti–drip polymer nozzles on some models improve the process of drying. The 1/2 load FlexiZone option allows washing of a reduced load with no restrictions on where items are placed, saving energy, water and time according to the glossary description.

The FlexiDuo third basket consists of two separate and moveable modules so that cutlery, small cups, ladles or bulky utensils can be arranged as desired. The Extra Glide guide system on the upper basket facilitates extraction and introduction of the basket, even at full load, and aids insertion of crockery in the rear part. Models with new Flexi Fit hinges can be installed in kitchens with a plinth of just 5 cm, with a sliding panel movement to avoid interference with the plinth.

Activelight is an LED light which projects a red spot onto the floor beneath the dishwasher when the appliance is in use. The delay timer can postpone the start of the programme by up to 24 hours. Aquatest measures the clarity of the water during an auto programme and automatically ensures minimum consumption of water and energy. Total Acquastop monitors water levels, detects leaks in the hose and switches off the water supply immediately when necessary.

The glossary notes that work aimed at continuous improvement has allowed the creation of a second generation Inverter motor 2.0 characterised by efficiency and durability, with high performance, lower energy consumption and reduced noise level; the DI323BL document does not explicitly state the motor type used in this specific model.
