1)This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes.

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

3)This programme is suitable for washing a load with mixed soil. Place items with heavy soil in the lower basket and with normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and temperature of the water in the lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.

4)This programme is designed to wash heavily soiled items with high water pressure and at a high temperature.

5)This programme is suitable for washing a load with normal soil.

6)This programme is suitable for washing a load or a half load with fresh or light soil in a short time.

7)This programme controls the temperature of the water to provide special care for delicate items, glassware in particular.

8)This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

9)With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from dishes and prevent odours forming in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.

10)This programme is designed to clean the inside of the appliance effectively and efficiently. It removes limescale and grease buildup. The programme should be run at least once every 2 months with a descaler or a cleaning product designed for dishwashers and without any load.

6.2 The water softener

The water softener removes minerals from the water supply, which would have a negative 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.
