The stainless steel construction supports durability and easy cleaning of the exterior, while the quiet 41 dB operation reduces disturbance in open-plan kitchens. Water consumption is 9.5 L per cycle, and the appliance’s dimensions make it compatible with standard semi built-in installation under kitchen counters.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Washing dishes, cutlery and pots for families or small gatherings
• Installation in semi built-in kitchen layouts where a partially visible control panel is required
• Users who prioritise quieter dishwasher operation in open or shared living spaces
• Households that need a reliable daily-use machine with straightforward capacity planning

When it may not be suitable

This model is classed as energy efficiency C; customers prioritising the highest energy efficiency ratings may prefer alternative models with A or B classifications. It is a semi built-in unit, so it may not be suitable where a fully integrated, concealed front is required or where a compact slimline dishwasher is needed due to narrower cabinetry.

Follow installation instructions to secure the semi built-in unit and connect water and drainage safely.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify cabinet opening dimensions and available depth to ensure compatibility with the 598 × 555 × 820 mm size.
• Decide if a semi built-in front with a visible control panel matches your kitchen design preferences.
• Consider the energy class C rating and compare long-term energy consumption to other available models.
• Confirm that a 14-place setting capacity meets your household’s typical daily load.

Usage recommendations

For best results, run full loads where possible, choose economy or eco programs for lightly soiled items, and perform routine maintenance such as filter cleaning every few weeks. If you often wash heavily soiled pots, use an intensive cycle and avoid overloading the racks to allow water circulation.
