With this dishwashing system the motor speed and spray pressure
are varied during the wash cycle to achieve better cleaning of the

dishwashing cycle.

and leave the appliance, always ensure that the book is left with
the appliance in order that the new owner can get to know the
functioning of the appliance and the relevant safety information.
This information has been provided in the interest of your safety.
