The Sensis DWF0214FSDWA 14 place settings freestanding dishwasher uses Aqua Zone to alternate water between its lower and upper spray arms, cleaning at higher pressure while using less water. Auto Door then opens the door by itself when the programme finishes, so dishes dry better before you unload them.
Washing
Energy consumption is 85 kWh per 100 cycles. An eco wash lasts 3:41 (hours and minutes) and takes 9 l of water. Smart Wash reads the clarity of the water and adjusts the cycle time and temperature to suit. For drying, Super drying relies on larger condensation channels and works alongside Auto Door. Inside is a stainless steel tub, and Self Clean helps prevent residue and odours from building up. Noise is rated at 45 dB, noise class C.
Programmes and controls
Choose from 5 programmes:
- Eco, for day-to-day washing
- Hygiene, running at 70°C
- Quick, lasting 30 minutes
- Intense, running at 65°C
- Super, lasting 50 minutes
When the racks are only partly full, the half load option means you need not wait to run a wash, and the delay timer sets a later start. A display counts down the time left, indicator lights show when salt or rinse aid is running low, and the Water Protect System is built in.
