PROGRAMMES

The numbering of the programmes in the table (P1, P2, etc.) reflects their sequence on the control panel.

The order of the programmes in the table may not reflect their sequence on the control panel.

table 1

  1. This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cut-lery 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 ad-justs the temperature and quantity of water as well as the wash duration.
  3. This programme is designed to wash heavily soiled items with high water pressure and at a high tem-perature.
  4. This programme controls the temperature of the water to provide special care for delicate items, glassware in particular.
  5. This programme is suitable for washing a load or a half load with fresh or light soil in a short time.
  6. With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from the dishes and prevent odours form-ing in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.
  7. This is the most silent programme. The wash pump works at a very low speed to reduce the noise generated by the appliance. Due to the low speed, the programme duration is long.

Consumption values

The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options and the quantity of dishes can change the values.
