Questions & Answers

Q: QuestionCan you explain the PureDry drying system and its benefits compared to traditional drying methods?

• A:Answer The PureDry drying system is an energy-efficient, closed drying system that does not draw in outside air. Instead, it gently whisks moisture away from dishes as they cool, without the use of an exposed heating element. This system ensures that plastics can be safely placed anywhere in the dishwasher and helps to reduce energy consumption compared to traditional drying methods.

Q: QuestionHow does the built-in water softener contribute to the quality of the dishes?

• A:Answer The built-in water softener helps ensure optimally spot-free and shiny dishes by removing minerals that can cause water spots and dullness. Softened water allows for better detergent performance, resulting in cleaner and more sparkling dishes.

Q: QuestionHow does the integrated water softener work, and what are the benefits of having this feature in a dishwasher?
