equipped with a special sensor which can be used to assess
the level of soiling and automatically select the most efficient
and economic wash cycle accordingly.
The duration of the auto wash cycles may vary due to the
operation of the sensor.

rinsed with water before being placed in the dishwasher,
reduce the amount of detergent used accordingly.

Accidental interruptions
If the door is opened during the wash cycle, or if there is a
power cut, the cycle stops. It starts again from the point at
which it was interrupted once the door has been shut or once
the electricity supply is restored.

Measuring out the detergent

A good wash result also depends on the correct amount
of detergent being used; exceeding the stated amount
does not result in a more effective wash and increases
environmental pollution.
Only use detergent which has been specifically
designed for dishwashers.
DO NOT USE washing up liquid.
Using excessive detergent may result in foam residue
remaining in the machine after the cycle has ended.
To achieve the best results from each washing and
drying cycle, powder detergent, rinse aid liquid and salt
should be used.
