You can change the setting of these options to suit your preferences or circumstances. We recommend selecting the most suitable settings before you start using your dishwasher.

What does it do?

Regulates the amount of rinse aid dispensed. Reduce this setting if there is excess foam after a wash. Increase this setting if dishes are wet or streaky after a wash.

Refer to the ‘Water softener’ section of the ‘User guide’ for details.

Your dishwasher is factory-set to automatically power on for 30 seconds whenever you open the drawer.

You can turn this setting off.

Your dishwasher is factory-set to beep six times at the end of a wash. You can turn this setting off.

When this setting is on, the drawer will automatically lock 30 seconds after it’s closed. It can then be unlocked by pressing 2017-07-03_1407.png (unless Keylock or Childlock is also activated). Useful in boats or motor homes.
