Capacity and cleaning flexibility
With 14 place settings, this dishwasher is designed for substantial family loads. The Planetarium Wash System is intended to provide broad spray coverage, while the Hygiene 99.9% programme adds a high-temperature cleaning option for plates, pans and utensils.
The interior is particularly adaptable. Its FlexiDuo third basket has independently movable sections and can be removed, while MultiLoad supports help position larger or awkward items. A ProFlex Holder secures slim-necked bottles and the WinePro accessory is designed to support delicate stemware.
Drying, efficiency and everyday operation
The Class A energy rating gives the appliance a strong efficiency profile. Dry Assist+ automatically opens the door at the end of a programme to help improve drying, and the half-load FlexiZone setting is intended to reduce energy, water and time use for smaller loads.
At 42 dB, operation should be relatively unobtrusive in a busy kitchen. Delayed Start provides scheduling flexibility, while Active Light projects an indication onto the floor to show whether a cycle is running or complete.
Integration and programme choice
This is a fully integrated 60cm dishwasher, so it is intended to sit behind a kitchen furniture door rather than operate as a visible freestanding appliance. The sliding FlexiFit hinge is designed to support smooth door movement and installation in kitchens with lower plinths.
The programme selection includes Express 27', Auto, Hygiene and Self Clean options within a stated total of 12+2 programmes. Extra Glide telescopic guides are intended to make loading and unloading smoother, adding to the appliance’s practical appeal.
