5. PROGRAMMES Programme Degree of soil

• Crockery, cutlery,

• Crockery, cutlery,

• Crockery, cutlery,

With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery

and cutlery with normal soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).

The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically ad-

justs the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.

With this programme you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and

normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the lower basket are

higher than in the upper basket.

This programme has a high temperature rinsing phase for better hygiene results. During the rinsing

phase, the temperature stays at 70 °C for at least 10 minutes.

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

This is the most silent 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.

5.1 Consumption values

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

quantity of dishes can change the values.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals

from the water supply, which would have

a detrimental effect on the washing

results and on the appliance.

The higher the content of these minerals,

the harder your water is. Water hardness

is measured in equivalent scales.

The water softener should be adjusted

according to the hardness of the water in

your area. Your local water authority can

advise you on the hardness of the water

in your area. It is important to set the

right level of the water softener to assure

good washing results.

Do not use salt at this level.
