Operation

Starting a program
The dishwasher can be started only if
the door is closed.
Press the
Start
button.
The program will begin.
The
Start
indicator light will come on.
A program should only be canceled
in the first few minutes, if at all. Oth-
erwise important program stages
could be omitted.
Time display
The duration of the program selected
appears in hours and minutes in the
display before the program begins. Dur-
ing the program, the time left until the
end of the program is displayed.
The program duration displayed may
vary with the same program. It is influ-
enced by, among other things, the wa-
ter temperature at each intake, the re-
activation process, the softener assem-
bly, the type of detergent, the amount
of dishes, and the amount of soiling.
When a program is selected for the first
time, the display will show the average
program duration for a cold water in-
take.
The times shown in the program over-
view refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.
Each time a program is run, the elec-
tronic module calculates the program
duration required depending on the
temperature of the water taken into the
dishwasher and the amount of dishes.
