1) The display shows the programme duration.

The water pressure and temperature, the variations of the mains supply, the options and the quantity of dishes can change the programme duration and the consumption values.

2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the temperature and quantity of the water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.

3) This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the rinsing phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for 10 to 14 minutes.

4) With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.

5) This is the standard programme for test institutes. With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.

6) Use this programme to quickly rinse the dishes. This prevents the remaining food to bond on the dishes and bad odours to come out from the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.
