4.1 Indicators

5. PROGRAMMES

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

1. This programme offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. This is the standard programme for test institutes. This programme is used to assess compliance with the Ecodesign Comission Regulation (EU) 2019/2022.
2. Automatic door opening during the drying phase. Refer to “Settings”.
3. 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.
4. This programme is designed to clean the inside of the appliance effectively and efficiently. It removes limescale and grease buildup. The programme should be run at least once every 2 months with a descaler or a cleaning product designed for dishwashers and without any load.
5. With this programme, you can quickly rinse off food remains from dishes and prevent odours forming in the appliance. Do not use detergent with this programme.
6. 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.

5.1 Consumption values

1. The pressure and the temperature of the water, the variations of the mains supply, the options, the quantity of dishes and the degree of soil can change the values.
2.  The values for programmes other than ECO are indicative only.

5.2 Information for test institutes

To receive the necessary information for conducting performance tests (e.g. according to: EN60436 ), send an email to:
info.test@dishwasher-production.com

In your request, include the product number code (PNC) from the rating plate.
For any other questions regarding your dishwasher, refer to the service book provided with your appliance.

6. OPTIONS

Desired options must be activated every time before you start a programme.
It is not possible to activate or deactivate options while a programme is running.

  The option button toggles between the available options and their possible combinations.

Not all options are compatible with each other. If you select non compatible options, the appliance automatically deactivates one or more of them. Only the indicators of the still active options are on.

If an option is not applicable to a programme, the related indicator is off or it flashes quickly for a few seconds and then goes out.

Activating options can affect the water and energy consumption as well as the programme duration.

6.1 Glass Care
This option protects a delicate load, glassware in particular, from damaging. It prevents rapid changes in the dishwashing temperature of the selected programme and reduces it to 45 °C.

10. HINTS AND TIPS

10.1 General
Follow the hints below to ensure optimal cleaning and drying results in daily use and to protect the environment.

• Washing dishes in the dishwasher as instructed in the user manual usually consumes less water and energy than washing dishes by hand.
• Load the dishwasher to its full capacity to save water and energy. For best cleaning results, arrange items in the baskets as instructed in the user manual and do not overload the baskets.
• Do not pre-rinse dishes by hand. It increases the water and energy consumption. When needed, select a programme with a prewash phase.
• Remove larger residues of food from the dishes and empty cups and glasses before putting them inside the appliance.
• Soak or slightly scour cookware with firmly cooked-on or baked-on food before washing it in the appliance.
• Make sure that items in the baskets do not touch or cover each other. Only then can the water completely reach and wash the dishes.
• You can use dishwasher detergent, rinse aid and salt separately or you can use the multi-tablets (e.g. ”All in 1”). Follow the instructions on the packaging.
• Select a programme according to the type of load and the degree of soil. offers the most efficient use of water and energy consumption.
• To prevent limescale buildup inside the appliance:
  – Refill the salt container whenever necessary.
  – Use the recommended dosage of the detergent and rinse aid.
  – Make sure that the current level of the water softener agrees with the hardness of the water supply.
  – Follow the instructions in the chapter “Care and cleaning”.

10.2 Using salt, rinse aid and detergent

• Only use salt, rinse aid and detergent designed for dishwasher. Other products can cause damage to the appliance.

• In areas with hard and very hard water, we recommend to use basic dishwasher detergent (powder, gel, tablets containing no additional agents), rinse aid and salt separately for optimal cleaning and drying results.

• Detergent tablets do not fully dissolve with short programmes. To prevent detergent residues on the tableware, we recommend that you use tablets with long programmes.

• Always use the correct quantity of detergent. Insufficient dosage of detergent can result in poor cleaning results and hard-water filming or spotting on the items.
  Using too much detergent with soft or softened water results in detergent residues on the dishes. Adjust the amount of detergent based on the water hardness. Refer to the instructions on the detergent packaging.

• Always use the correct quantity of rinse aid. Insufficient dosage of rinse aid decreases the drying results. Using too much rinse aid results in bluish layers on the items.

• Make sure that the water softener level is correct. If the level is too high, the increased quantity of salt in the water might result in rust on cutlery.

10.3 What to do if you want to stop   using multi-tablets

Before you start to use separately detergent, salt and rinse aid, complete the following steps:

1. Set the highest level of the water softener.
2. Make sure that the salt and rinse aid containers are full.
3. Start the shortest programme with a rinsing phase. Do not add detergent and do put dishes in the baskets.
4. When the programme is complete, adjust the water softener according to the water hardness in your area.
5. Adjust the released quantity of rinse aid.

10.4 Loading the baskets

• Always use the whole space of the baskets.
• Use the appliance to wash dishwashersafe items only.
• Do not wash in the appliance items made of wood, horn, aluminium, pewter and copper as they could crack, warp, get discoloured or pitted.
• Do not wash in the appliance items that can absorb water (sponges, household cloths).
• Put hollow items (cups, glasses and pans) with the opening facing downwards.
• Make sure that glass items do not touch each other.
• Put light items in the upper basket. Make sure that the items do not move freely.
• Put cutlery and small items in the cutlery drawer.
• Move the upper basket upwards to accommodate large items in the lower basket.
• Make sure that the spray arms can move freely before you start a programme.

10.5 Before starting a programme
Before you start the selected programme, make sure that:

• The filters are clean and correctly installed.
• The cap of the salt container is tight.
• The spray arms are not clogged.
• There is enough salt and rinse aid (unless you use multi-tablets).
• The arrangement of the items in the baskets is correct.
• The programme is suitable to the type of load and the degree of soil.
• The correct quantity of detergent is used.

10.6 Unloading the baskets

1. Let the tableware cool down before you remove it from the appliance. Hot items can be easily damaged.
2. First remove items from the lower basket, then from the upper basket.

After the programme is completed, water can still remain on the inside surfaces of the appliance.
