activation process, the type of deter‐
gent, the amount of dishware, and the
amount of soiling.
When a program is selected for the first
time, the display shows an average
time for a cold water intake.
The times shown in the program over‐
view refer to standard test loads and
temperatures.
Each time a program is run, the elec‐
tronic module calculates the program
duration required according to the tem‐
perature of the water taken into the
dishwasher and the amount of dish‐
ware.
