Programmes

Depending on your model, you either have a selection of programmes to choose from, or you use the QuickSelect touch control panel to select programme duration.

	Pre-wash Quick rinse to clean food residue and prevent odours if you’re not immediately starting a programme. Do not use detergent.
	ECO Eco-friendly programme with efficient use of water and energy consumption. Works for dishes, cutlery and cookware with normal and slightly dry residue. The cycle will take longer than standard programmes.
	AUTO / AutoSense Automatic, tailored settings with sensors that determine how dirty the dishes are and the amount of dishes in the baskets. Works for dishes, cutlery and cookware with normal and slightly dry residue.
	Silent Silent programme for dishes and cutlery with a normal amount of residue. The wash pump works at a low speed, reducing the noise level and prolonging the programme duration.
	30 minutes Short programme for slightly dirty dishes and cutlery. Dishes will not be dried.
	60 minutes Programme for slightly dirty dishes and cutlery you've just used. Also works for lightly dried-on residue.
	90 minutes Optimal for dishes and cookware with an average amount of fresh and dry residue.
	160 minutes Longer programme optimal for dishes, cutlery and cookware with a normal to heavy amount of residue, or with dried-on residue.
