The display shows the programme duration.
The water pressure and temperature, the variations of the mains supply, the options and
the quantity of dishes can change the programme duration and the consumption values.
2)
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.
3)
With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a
short time.
4)
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.
Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.
5)
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.
6)
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.

WATER DRAIN CONNECTION

A
ENGLISH
Connect the water drain hose to:
• The sink spigot. Attach the water
drain hose under the kitchen counter.
This prevents that waste water from
the sink goes back to the appliance.
• A stand pipe with vent-hole. The internal diameter must be minimum 40
mm.
Remove the sink plug when the appliance drains. This prevents water to go
back to the appliance.
An extension hose for the water drain
hose must be shorter than 2 m and with
the same diameter as the water drain
hose.
If you connect the water drain hose to a
trap spigot under the sink, remove the
plastic membrane (A). A not complete
removal of the membrane causes a
blockage in the spigot and problems
with drain.
The appliance has a non-return valve
that prevents dirty water to go back to
the appliance. If there is a non-return
valve in the sink spigot, remove it to
prevent the appliance to drain incorrectly.
