On/Left-on mode
Press and hold the On/Left-on mode button until the display lights
up.
Programme selection
Press the Programme selector one or more times until the desired
programme symbol appears on the display.
Auto wash
The dishwasher can measure how dirty the dishes are and adjust
water consumption and temperature accordingly. When newly
installed, the programme needs to be run five times before it is
fully adapted and can provide the best results.
Heavy wash
Programme for very dirty dishes, such as pans, casserole dishes
and oven dishes. If these dishes do not completely fill the
dishwasher, you can add plates and the like.
Normal wash
Powerful programme for daily use that can remove dried leftovers,
but is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven dishes. This
programme provides maximum rinse effect, and takes longer
than Daily wash.
Daily wash
This is also an effective programme for daily use for slightly dried
leftovers, but is not intended for burnt food, such as on oven
dishes.
Quick wash
This programme is used for glasses and porcelain that is slightly
dirty, such as coffee cups.
Hyg
Hygiene wash
This programme is ideal to use where demands on hygiene are
extra high, e.g. for baby bottles and cutting boards. The
temperature is high both in the main wash and in the final rinse.
Delicate wash
If the dishes are not very dirty, you can select Delicate wash. This
programme is intended for glasses and porcelain that have just
been used and as such do not require such a powerful
programme.
This programme can be used for fragile dishes. Select Short dry
if you want to be especially cautious. See also the section Fragile
dishes in Chapter Loading the dishwasher.
Eco wash
This programme is intended for cleaning normally dirty dishes
and is the most effective programme in terms of combined energy
and water consumption.
The High temperature option must be selected to access the
programme used to compile the information for energy labelling.
Upper half
You can use this programme if you only have cups and glasses
that need washing in the upper basket. Slightly dirty dishes can
also be placed in the lower basket.
Lower half
You can use this programme when you only want to wash plates
and cutlery in the lower basket. Slightly dirty dishes can also be
placed in the upper basket.
Rinse & Hold
Used to rinse dishes while you wait for the dishwasher to become
fully loaded.
Selecting Options
To select an option, press one of the option buttons. The field
under the button lights when the option is activated. The available
options depend on the selected programme. Once you have
started the programme, the options you selected are saved for
the next time you use the same programme. An exception is the
Delayed start option.
High temperature
Activate this option for improved dishwashing results. The
machine then uses a higher temperature for the main wash.
If you want to use the lower temperature, press again so that the
field under the button turns off.
You can vary the temperature as shown below:
60 °C / 70 °C Heavy wash:
60 °C / 65 °C Normal wash:
60 °C / 65 °C Daily wash:
30 °C / 60 °C Quick wash:
40 °C / 50 °C Delicate wash:
50 °C / 54 °C Eco wash:
55 °C / 65 °C Upper half:
55 °C / 65 °C Lower half:
Long dry
A higher temperature in the final rinse and a longer drying phase
improves the drying result if you activate the Long dry option.
This causes a slight increase in energy consumption. This option
can be used with all programmes except Rinse & Hold.
If you want a programme with Short dry, press again so that the
field under the button turns off.
Delayed start
When you select Delayed start, the dishwasher will start 1-24
hours after you press the Start/Stop button.
1 Press the button once to activate Delayed start. Press the
button several times – or hold it in – to set the desired number
of hours.
