This integrated dishwasher offers a novel operating and display concept. The colour display which is integrated in the stainless steel panel provides, apart from the time display, a great deal of information and explanatory texts as an operating aid and user instructions. Touch buttons, flexible baskets and sensor-controlled programmes assure a high degree of user-friendliness. For instance, water consumption, water temperature and washing time are, thanks to sensors, precisely adjusted to the degree of residues on the dishes, thus saving water and energy.
