There’s the Hygiene Care option, which extends the final rinse and increases the water temperature to 70°C for a more thorough clean to eliminate 99.999% of bacteria. The Auto Door Open feature enables the door to automatically open at the end of the washing cycle to allow a 10cm space for steam to escape so items can dry faster. The interior has also been specially designed to help users better manage the washing load. With the Smart Dishwasher model, users can personalise the washing experience too, and remotely start the cleaning cycle and monitor the status on their smartphone. They can even speed up the cleaning cycle if pressed for time. The dishwashers are water-saving and come with three thicks under WELS.

They come as a Standard model and Smart model. They are also freestanding and can be retrofitted to cabinets or used as a standalone unit.
