PREFERENCE OPTIONS

As the wash progresses, the display will count down the minutes remaining and show what stage the program is at. When the program has finished, the display will show 0 and the dishwasher will beep. After 30 seconds the display will go out.

You may notice the following noises at the end of the wash. These are all part of normal operation:



Both drawers may be draining simultaneously.



The drying fan may continue to run after a wash program has finished for a set time or until the drawer is opened. The fan assists with drying and uses negligible amounts of energy.

For best drying results, we recommend unloading the dishes once they have cooled.

DOS AND DON’TS OF LOADING

Sharp or pointed items must be placed horizontally or with sharp edges/points facing down to avoid risk of injury.

Protruding items will stop the internal lid of the dishwasher from sealing properly, which could result in a service call.

You can change the setting of these options to suit your preferences or circumstances. We recommend selecting the most suitable settings before you start using your dishwasher.

Which option am I in?

A neatly arranged load with evenly spaced dishes helps wash performance.

Ensure there is enough space between plates. Mix spoons, knives and forks within the cutlery basket to prevent them from nesting.

Ensure that water reaches all items on the racks.

Overcrowding reduces wash performance.

If plates and cutlery are nesting, they are less likely to be cleaned well.
