Selecting Options To select an option, press one of the option buttons. The field next to the button lights when the option is activated. The available options depend on the selected program.

The machine then uses a higher temperature for the main wash. If you want to use the lower temperature, press until the field next to the button turns off. You can vary the temperature as shown below: Sanitation wash: 130 °F (55 °C) / 160 °F (70 °C) Normal wash: 130 °F (55 °C) / 150 °F (65 °C) Heavy wash: 140 °F (60 °C) / 150 °F (65 °C) Quick wash: 85 °F (30 °C) / 140 °F (60 °C) Eco wash: 120 °F (50 °C) / 140 °F (60 °C) Long dry A higher temperature in the final rinse and a longer drying phase improves the drying result if you activate the Long dry option. This causes a slight increase in energy consumption. If you want a program with Short dry, press so that the field next to the button turns off. Start the dishwasher Press and hold Start until the display flashes three times with the remaining time. This indicates that the program has started. Close the door properly, otherwise the dishwasher will not start. The display indicates if the door is open. NOTE! If the machine does not start within 2 minutes of the last button press, the display returns to showing the last program run. Time remaining Once you have selected a program and options, the display indicates how long the program took the last time it was used. Once you have started the dishwasher, the display indicates how much program time remains. The remaining time is updated after the water for the final rinse has been heated. This may differ somewhat from time to time depending on the temperature of the water supply, the amount of dishes, the ambient temperature, and other factors. The time counts down while the program is running and the remainder of the program is displayed. The remaining time is displayed, e.g., 1:15, meaning that 1 minute 15 seconds of the program remains. NOTE! During the first run of each program, the remaining time displayed can be slightly misleading, as the dishwasher is estimating the time. When you run the program a second time, the dishwasher will calculate the remaining time based on the previous duration of the program. Stopping or changing a program If you want to change programs after starting the dishwasher, open the door then press and hold Stop for five seconds. Add more detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then choose a new program, press Start, and close the door. Do you want to add more dishes? Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes, close the door, and the dishwasher resumes the program. If the dishwasher is turned off using the main power switch or due to a power failure If the program was not finished, the interrupted program resumes when power is restored. NOTE! During drying, the program is interrupted if the power is cut or the door is open for more than 2 minutes. Once the program has finished Once the program has finished, "End" appears on the display. A buzzer also sounds at the end of the program. See the section Settings, which describes how to change this function. Once the dishwasher has finished, it uses only standby power.
