Advantages

The slimline 45 cm design allows installation in compact kitchens without sacrificing standard dishwashing functions. Multiple wash programs provide flexibility for different soil levels and fragile items, while the hot air drying system improves drying results compared with basic air-dry models. A relatively low noise level of 47 dB ensures quiet operation during household activity. The delayed start and floor indicator light add convenience for scheduling cycles and monitoring progress.

Suitable for

• Small households or apartments with limited kitchen space
• Users who need a built-in, integrated dishwasher for a 45 cm cabinet
• Daily dishwashing for up to 10 place settings
• Cleaning mixed loads with options for delicate glassware and intensive pots

When it may not be suitable

This dishwasher may not be suitable for larger households that regularly require capacity above 10 place settings or for users who prioritise the highest energy efficiency ratings; the appliance is rated class E. Heavy users who need ultra-quiet operation below 42 dB or advanced drying systems may find other models more appropriate.

How to use

Load plates, cutlery and cookware according to standard dishwasher guidelines, placing delicate items on the top rack and heavier pots on the bottom. Select a wash program that matches soil level and material — use Delicate 40°C for fragile glassware, Eco 50°C for energy-conscious everyday loads, and Intensive 70°C for stubborn residues. Set the delayed start if you want the cycle to run later, and start the machine. The floor indicator light provides visual feedback when the program is running or finished.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm cabinet opening width and installation requirements for a 45 cm slimline built-in unit
• Evaluate whether a 10 place setting capacity meets household needs
• Consider the energy class E rating and how it affects running costs compared with higher-rated models
• Check noise level (47 dB) suitability for open-plan living or nearby rooms

Usage recommendations

For best results, use detergents and rinse aids recommended for household dishwashers, load items to avoid blocking spray arms, and choose program settings appropriate to load size and soil level. Regularly clean filters and check spray arms to maintain performance and efficiency.
