Environmental information
Your dishwasher has the new washing system ”IMPULSE WASHING”.
With this dishwashing system the motor speed and spray pressure
are varied during the wash cycle to achieve better cleaning of the
dishes. It is for this reason that the noise level varies during the
dishwashing cycle.
