Normal or light soil

The appliance senses the type 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.

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

efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil.

Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.

The display shows the programme duration.

the quantity of dishes can change the programme duration and the consumption values.
