Unloading the dishwasher
• Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The
dishes should therefore be allowed to cool
down before removing from the appliance.
•Empty the lower basket first and then the
upper one; this will avoid water dripping
from the upper basket onto the dishes in
the lower one.
• Water may appear on the sides and the
door of the dishwasher as the stainless
steel will eventually become cooler than
the dishes.
When the washing programme has
finished, it is recommended that the
dishwasher is unplugged and the
water tap turned off.

not been used for a long time.

1 cold rinse (to avoid food scraps from

1) During the "Automatic" washing programme the level of soiling on the dishes is determined by how
cloudy the water is. The programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary; this
depends upon whether the appliance is fully or partially loaded and if the dishes are lightly or heavily
soiled. The temperature of the water is automatically adjusted between 45°C and 70°C.
2) Ideal for washing a partially loaded dishwasher. This is the perfect daily programme, made to meet
the needs of a family of 4 persons who only wish to load breakfast and dinner crockery and cutlery.
3) Test programme for test institutes
