PROGRAMS

A complete and interesting set.

A program without which it is difficult to imagine the 2015 model and only a few years ago it was present only in the premium models – automatic. Machine detects by itself the degree of soiling of dishes and selects the water temperature and duration of washing.

Quick wash – a program without which it is very difficult. Sometimes you just drank tea with a group of friends and somehow it’s a pity to load the dishwasher with slightly dirty dishes and wait for more than an hour. Here and had to rinse cups, spoons, etc. by hand in this case.d. Quick program allows you to save yourself from such an unpleasant task and have no remorse and quietly load all the dishes into the machine.

ECO – no European would buy a dishwasher without this program. In this case, the machine washes for a long time, but with minimal power and water consumption consumption of only 9 liters of water and 0, 83 kW .

Intensive – this program helps to wash heavily soiled dishes and pots.

CONTROL

The control panel is located on the right side of the top edge of the door.

Programs are indexed by symbols, but there is also a tooltip on the panel which program is marked by which symbol. It’s convenient, you don’t have to consult the manual all the time.

The half-load function has its own click button and can be activated after selecting a program.

There is a timer for a postponement. It can be used to postpone the start of washing, for example, until the middle of the night when the lowest electricity rates are in effect.

Overall Impressions: panel is clear and simple. The only thing missing is a countdown for washing. Also, if the buzzer is off, it is difficult to know if the machine is done washing and drying or not.

ERGONOMICS

In order to be always happy with your dishwasher, it’s important to load all sizes and shapes of crockery in it to make sure they fit, don’t fall down, and wash well all the time.

Let’s evaluate this model from this point of view.

The height of the upper basket can be adjusted, which allows you to vary the size of dishes. Very handy cup racks, using them, you can place cups on 2 floors without fear of tipping tested .

The rails on the lower basket can be omitted, making it easier to place pans and pans.

Spoon of tar – the front panel by the tray with the logo “interferes” with the placement of large plates in the upper basket.

TEST

A test wash of dirty dishes showed that the machine copes with its responsibilities and washes the dishes cleanly. The machine cleans quietly – and you won’t hear it working in the room next to the kitchen.

We stocked the machine with all the plates, saucers, spoons we could find in the house, and there was still room for a couple of plates.

It cleans dishes, pots and pans better than you – and more importantly, instead of you. All you have to do is put everything in the machine, and then take it out.
