1)
With this programme you have 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 the quantity of 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)
With this programme you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the
lower basket are higher than in the upper basket.
5)
This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the
level of noise. Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.
6)
With this programme you can quickly rinse dishes to prevent remains of food to bond on
dishes and odours to form in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.

the water supply, which would have a
detrimental 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.

Opening the door while the appliance operates
If you open the door while a programme is
running, the appliance stops. It may affect
the energy consumption and the
programme duration. When you close the
door, the appliance continues from the
point of interruption.
If the door is opened for more
than 30 seconds during the
drying phase, the running
programme will end. This will
not happen if the door is
opened by AirDry.
CAUTION!
Do not try to close the
appliance door within 2
minutes after AirDry
automatically opens it, as this
may cause damage to the
appliance. If, afterwards, the
door is closed for another 3
minutes, the running
programme ends.

When you cancel the delay start you have
to set the programme and options again.
