Wash cycle table
INDESIT dishwashers are equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system so that they do not
become clogged with food residues. This function may extend the duration of the wash cycles. If
there is a high level of dirt contained in the filters, the dishwasher will stop operating
(see
Troubleshooting - Blocked filter alarm)
.
If the crockery is only lightly soiled or if it has been rinsed with water before being placed in the
dishwasher, reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.
Wash cycles
The number and type of wash cycles and options varies according to the model of dishwasher.

Notes:
To make it easier to measure out the detergent, it is worth remembering that:
1 tablespoon = 15 grams of powder = approximately 15 ml of liquid - 1 teaspoon = 5 grams of powder =
approximately 5 ml of liquid

The Eco wash cycle adheres to the regulation EN-50242. Although it has a longer duration than other wash
cycles it uses less energy and is les harmful to the environment.
