7 Normal or light soil

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.

This programme includes the ExtraHygiene option.

This is the most silent washing programme. The pump works at a very low speed to

decrease the level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

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

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.

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.

The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the

options and the quantity of dishes can change the programme duration and the
