**) The duration of the program shown on the display or in the booklet is an estimate calculated on standard conditions. The actual time may vary
depending on many factors such as temperature and pressure of the incoming water, room temperature, amount of detergent, quantity and type of load,
load balancing, additional selected options and sensor calibration. The sensor calibration can increase program duration up to 20 min.

PROGRAMS DESCRIPTION
Instructions on wash cycle selection.
ECO
Normally soiled crockery. Standard program, the most efficient in terms
of its combined energy and water consumption.
INTENSIVE
Program recommended for heavily soiled crockery, especially suitable
for pans and saucepans (not to be used for delicate items).
NORMAL
Normally soiled crockery. Everyday cycle, that ensures optimal cleaning
performance in shorter time.
RAPID 30’
Program to be used for lightly-soiled dishes with no dried food
residues. (Ideal for 2 place settings).
PRE-WASH
Crockery to be washed later. No detergent to be used with this
program.
SANITIZING
Normally or heavily soiled crockery, with additional antibacterial wash.
Notes:
Optimum performance levels when using the “1 Hour” and “Rapid”
programs can be achieved by observing the maximum amounts of
specified place settings.
To reduce consumption even further, only run the dishwasher
when it is full.
