Getting to know your dishwasher
Our dishwashers offer a huge number of different settings and functions to help you get the best results. However, all of our settings and symbols can be hard to get used to when you get a new NEFF appliance. Below we have detailed all settings and explanations, so you can be sure how to make the most out of your new appliance.
Basic Dishwasher Symbols
Eco 45°C
An economical program which uses less water and electricity. Ideal for cleaning mixed tableware and cutlery.
Chef 70°
With a hotter setting and a powerful spray, the Chef 70° programme is perfect for cleaning even the dirtiest pots, pans and cooking utensils. Items placed in the lower basket are subject to higher spray pressures, eliminating the need for soaking and effectively removing even the most stubborn stains.
Auto 45° - 65°
Take the worry out of selecting exactly the right programme and let the machine do it for you. Automatically changes settings to ensure you get the best clean for your load.
Glass 40°
Protects sensitive glassware by gently adjusting the water hardness.
Silence 50°
The quiet programme that’s gentle on your dishes thanks to a reduced spray pressure and a longer programme.

1 Hour Wash + dry 65°C
A quick wash and dry cycle, perfect for when you are in a hurry.

Additional Dishwasher Symbols

Extra Dry
The increased temperature during the final rinse phase and the extended drying phase ensure that plastic parts dry even better. The dishwasher's energy consumption is slightly increased.
