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 pre-wash to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.

wash cycle for

your dishes.

Selecting the

most suitable

wash cycle for

the load ensures
