Display of program cycle time
The cycle time of the program selected
appears in hours and minutes in the
display before the program begins. If
the door is opened during the program,
the time left until the end of the program
is displayed.
The displayed cycle time may vary for
the same program. It is influenced by,
for example, the temperature of the
incoming water, the reactivation cycle
of the water softener, the detergent
type, the amount of dishware, and how
soiled it is.
When a program is selected for the first
time, the display will show the average
program cycle time for a cold water
connection.
The program cycle times shown under
“Program overview” refer to standard
test loads and temperatures.
Each time a program is run, the control
module calculates the program cycle
time required depending on the
temperature of the water taken into the
dishwasher and the amount of
dishware.
Starting a program
Start the program by closing the door
within 4 seconds of the last press of a
button.
Risk of scalding due to hot
water.
During operation, water in the
dishwasher may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
