Select the most suitable programme for the type of dishes and how dirty they are. To select the wash programme
see the chart below:
To optimise wash performance and save on energy, try to use the dishwasher with a full wash load. If it takes some time to fill your
dishwasher, use the soak cycle to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.
