the dishes; this way they will be cooler
and the drying will be improved.
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.

This programme does not require the use
of detergent.
1) During the 'Auto' 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 if 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) Test programme for test institutes
3) 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.
