Using the dishwasher
Hygiene
This program is ideal to use where demands on hygiene are extra high, e.g. for baby bottles and
cutting boards. The temperature is high both in the main wash and in the final rinse.
Crystal glass
A gentle dishwashing program with a low temperature for washing fragile items made of crystal/glass.
Remember to use a small amount of detergent and to place items so that they do not touch each
other during the wash. See also Fragile dishes in the chapter Loading the dishwasher. Porcelain
that has just been used without dried leftovers can also be washed using this program.
Preheated (30 min + 20 min)
A dishwashing program with a preheating phase (the water is heated for 30 min) and a dishwashing
phase (the dishes are washed for 20 min). This program is designed to offer you a quick dishwashing
program that can be started within 180 minutes of the preheating phase ending.
You can load the dishes throughout the preheating phase. This program is not intended for dried
leftovers. Remember to scrape off larger food particles before loading the dishwasher.
Step 1: To start the preheating phase, press Start/Stop. Close the door. (The spray arms rotate while
the water is being preheated.) Wait for approx. 30 min. When you open the door, the display shows
"Preheating phase completed", indicating that the dishwashing phase is ready to be started within
180 minutes.
Step 2: To start the dishwashing phase, press Start/Stop.
Self-cleaning
Self-cleaning program for hygienic cleaning of the dishwasher tub, spray arms and spray pipes.
This program should be run (with no dishes in the machine) using normal dishwasher detergent or
citric acid. Special dishwasher cleaners are also available on the market. For the removal of limescale
deposits, see Dishwasher tub in the chapter Care and cleaning.

Lower half
You can use this program when you only want to wash plates and cutlery in the lower basket. Slightly
dirty dishes can also be placed in the upper basket.
