Capacity and everyday washing
With room for 14 place settings, this dishwasher is designed for family-sized loads and fewer wash cycles across the week. The adjustable upper basket, fold-down lower racks and cutlery tray provide useful flexibility when loading different types of crockery, cookware and utensils.
Eight programmes include Auto, Eco, Express, Intensive and Self Clean options. This gives it a broad range of everyday and occasional-use settings, while the AquaTest turbidity sensor can adjust washing according to water clarity.
Integrated installation and drying
The fully integrated format keeps the appliance hidden behind a kitchen furniture door. FLEXIFIT sliding hinges provide additional freedom when positioning the furniture panel and plinth, including kitchens with a lower plinth arrangement.
Dry Assist+ automatically opens the door at the end of a cycle to support natural condenser drying. A delay-start function of up to 24 hours also makes it easier to schedule washing around household routines.
Protection and maintenance
Total Aqua Stop monitors water levels and can shut off the water supply when a leak is detected, offering useful reassurance in a built-in appliance. The Self Clean programme is intended to help maintain the dishwasher and support ongoing washing performance.
The available product information does not provide details such as noise level, energy rating or cycle duration, so those factors should be checked separately when comparing this dishwasher with alternatives.
