intervening period before the
dishwasher starts up.
Pre-Wash (on applicable models)
The pre-wash programme option serves to
perform a pre-wash cycle before the main
programme. This cycle enables cookware, e.g.
pans, bowls etc. to be pre-soaked and pre-
rinsed in the lower rack. If you wish to pre-
soak the dishes, this programme option must
be selected by pressing the “Prewash” button
before the programme starts. The
recommended detergent amount is approx.
5g poured onto the inside of the door.
Quick Wash (on applicable models)
Pressing the “Quick wash” button provides a
short wash cycle by curtailing the drying
phase and the washing time. The washing and
drying performance will be reduced with the
Quick wash programme option.
Time-remaining indicator
The time-remaining indicator is self-learning.
When the programme begins, it displays the
estimated duration of that programme. The
figure is based upon the duration of the
previous programme, or if the dishwasher is
being used for the first time, the duration of
the programme used for testing the appliance
in the factory. While the programme is
running, the indicator shows the amount of
time before the programme ends. The time
remaining is also adjusted to account for the
temperature of the water supply and the
number of dishes.
Intensive drying function
Activating the intensive drying function
increases the temperature during the rinse-
aid stage which gives better drying results.

Changing the programme
It is possible to change the programme within
2 minutes after you have switched the
dishwasher on.
Should it be necessary to change the
programme after this period, the programme
cycle that has already begun (eg. washing) will
be completed first of all.
The new, remaining time displayed is the sum
of the remaining time from the previous
programme cycle and the remaining time of
the newly selected programme.
