Spot-free crockery – With integrated water softener

Lower running costs – Thanks to optimised ECO mode
The ECO mode combines reduced water use with energy-conscious cycle profiles to clean effectively using fewer resources.
Regular use reduces water and energy consumption, which benefits households that run frequent small loads.
