4. PROGRAMMES
Programme
1)
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
consumption values.
2)
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.
3)
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.
4)
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.

appliance and bad washing results. The
water softener neutralises these minerals.
The dishwasher salt keeps the water
softener clean and in good conditions.
Refer to the table to adjust the water
softener to the right level. It makes sure
that the water softener uses the correct
quantity of dishwasher salt and water.
You must adjust the water softener manually and electronically.
