PROGRAMS (CONTINUED)

Additional Options

Extra Fast Option

Increases the water pressure of the selected Program, thus shortens its duration and reduces the amount of water.

Extra Silent Option

Allows for a sensitive and silent washing cycle by making the Program wash the dishes with lower pressure.

Extra Drying Option

Using the extra drying option, you can have drier dishes by adding extra drying steps to the Program you have selected.

Energy Save Option – Auto Door

Thanks to the energy save option, the automatic door opening mechanism will be activated when the Program is complete. Door will open for 10cm when drying and rinsing is complete and the steam in the machine will be released for better drying performance.

Tablet Detergent Option

Please use the Tablet Detergent option when using combined detergents containing salt, rinse aid and extra features.

Power Half Load Option

With the half load option, three different washes can be performed, namely in the upper basket, lower basket and both baskets. If you have a small amount of dishes you need to wash in the machine, you can activate the half load option as an addition to some programs. If you have dishes in both baskets, select the icon that lights both ﬁgures by selecting the half load option.

If you have dishes in the upper basket only, select the icon where the ﬁgure above is lit. Therefore, only the upper basket of your machine will perform washing. For this reason, make sure you do not have dishes in the lower basket. If you have dishes in the lower basket only, select the icon where the ﬁgure below is lit. Therefore, only the lower basket of your machine will perform washing. Make sure that there are no dishes in the upper basket while using this feature.

Extra Hygiene Option

You can select the hygiene option for dishes requiring extra hygiene and achieve a more hygienic wash by changing the washing temperature and duration of the current Program.

You may change the program according to your preferences by selecting additional options to the washing program. The washing programs have been designed so as to obtain the best cleaning considering the type and amount of food soil properties of the washing materials. The additional functions were developed in order to save time, water and electricity and thus allow you to wash your dishes more conveniently. For example, if you think your dishes are slightly dirty, you may select the Fast function and make your washing process more economical in terms of time and water.

Power Half Load upper basket – DIRECT WASH

For a partial load where there are difﬁcult to remove food soils the dishware can be located over the direct wash jets in the upper baskets. These additional jets will provide a direct spray to the interior of the dishware.

Power Half Load lower basket – TRIPLE WASH

For a partial load where there are difﬁcult to remove food soils. Large soiled items should be placed over the triple wash sprays at the back of the lower basket.

If you are going to use a multipurpose detergent, you obtain better performance by selecting Tablet detergent

function.

If you live in a place where electricity is cheaper to use at night, you might select the silent function and wash your dishes more economically and silently; this function was developed also for a more sensitive washing process.

Additional options are not suitable for every program; you might ﬁnd below the functions suitable for the programs. For the programs not suitable for functions, you will see that the function indicator is not illuminated.
