Rinse
1) The appliance senses the type of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets. It automatically adjusts the
temperature and quantity of the water, the energy consumption and the program time.
2) This is the most silent washing program. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise.
Because of the low speed, the program time is long.
3) With this program you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
Washing programs 17

4) This is the standard program for test institutes. With this program you have the most efficient use of water and
energy consumption for crockery and cutlery with normal soil. Refer to the supplied leaflet for test information.
5) With this program you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and normal soil in
the upper basket. The water pressure in the lower basket is three times higher than in the upper basket. The
temperature of the water in the lower basket is 25% higher than in the upper basket.
