Hotpoint FDW80 manual Programme Chart, ‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles

Programme Chart

Select the most suitable programme for the type of dishes and how dirty they are. To select the wash programme see the chart below:

Salt, rinse aid, the right amount of detergent and the correct wash cycle...

This is the formula to get the best results and to keep your dishwasher in shape.

Note: In the ‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles, the cycles could undergo some modifications due to the intervention of the sensor which evaluates how dirty the dishes are and optimises the cycle in accordance.

‘Aquasensor’ wash cycles...

This means that your dishwasher is equipped with a sensor which evaluates how dirty your dishes are and allows these wash cycles to adjust automatically to provide you with a more efficient and economic wash cycle.

To optimise wash performance and save on energy, try to use the dishwasher with a full wash load. If it takes some time to fill your dishwasher, use the pre-wash to avoid caked on food and build up of bad odours.
