1) With this programme you have the most efficient use of water and energy consumption for crockery
and cutlery with normal soil. (This is the standard programme for test institutes).
2) The appliance senses the degree of soil and the quantity of items in the baskets . It automatically ad-
justs the temperature and the quantity of water, the energy consumption and the programme duration.
3) With this programme you can wash a load with mixed soil. Very heavy soil in the lower basket and
normal soil in the upper basket. The pressure and the temperature of the water in the lower basket are
higher than in the upper basket.
4) With this programme you can wash a load with fresh soil. It gives good washing results in a short time.
5) This is the most silent programme. The pump works at a very low speed to decrease the level of noise.
Because of the low speed, the programme duration is long.

When the appliance is in programme
selection mode it is possible to set a
programme and to enter the user mode.
In user mode, the following settings
can be changed:

according to the water hardness.

the acoustic signal for end of
programme.

How to set the programme
selection mode

6.2 The water softener
The water softener removes minerals
from the water supply, which would have
a detrimental effect on the washing
results and on the appliance.
The higher the content of these minerals,
the harder your water is. Water hardness
is measured in equivalent scales.
The water softener should be adjusted
according to the hardness of the water in
your area. Your local water authority can
advise you on the hardness of the water
in your area. It is important to set the
right level of the water softener to assure
good washing results.
