About dishwashers “De Dietrich”
De Dietrich dishwashers are top quality appliances, economical and energy efficient. In its model range, only machines with an ideal combination of energy consumption classes, washing and drying – for all positions, dishwashers (PMM) are assigned class A.
Who is the manufacturer?
De Dietrich is the oldest company in Europe, founded several centuries ago. Its factories once produced automobiles, railway and machine-building equipment – this is a truly serious manufacturer. It is not surprising that he successfully began to produce household appliances. And the elite one. Today the brand is part of the Groupe Brandt group. Production facilities are available in France, Spain, Italy.
In 2007, one of the models from De Dietrich, the Quattro dishwasher, was awarded the Innovation Prize.
Features PMM De Dietrich
Advantages and distinctive features of French dishwashers:
- Practically noiseless work.
- Capacious – can wash 10-14 sets at a time.
- There are models in which the Eolyse function is provided – purging with clean air. It guarantees the dryness of washed dishes. When the cycle ends, air blowing is turned on every hour – it lasts 5 minutes. This is repeated over and over until the user opens the door. Thanks to the air blower, all objects after washing have a radiant appearance, and there is no steam or moisture inside the device.
- The Multistart software makes it possible to follow all steps of the process. To select options, a light touch on the touch buttons is enough.
- The ICS function makes the operation of the machine fully automated. The machine selects the operating parameters on its own, based on the readings of the sensors – they assess the degree of contamination of the dishes and its quantity. Based on the measurements made, the water temperature and the duration of the process are set.
- There is an express wash – the cycle lasts only half an hour.
- Delayed start provided.
- Boost is a program for heavily soiled dishes. Enhanced washing is carried out thanks to the rotating and crossed water jets – they are directed so that the water in the chamber is distributed as evenly as possible.
- “Night wash” provides for longer work at low temperatures. This mode is beneficial when using differential counters.
- “Khrustal” is a program for delicate and effective care of glassware. After washing, glass products do not have stains and acquire a shine.
- The Quattro line has 2 loading zones – they can function together or separately. So, for example, in one zone, the user can run the “Crystal” program to wash glass goblets, and in another zone, you can wash heavily soiled dishes at the same time by turning on the Boost mode.
All models have a security system:
- there is protection against leaks and overflow of water;
- there is protection against rupture of the hose;
- child lock;
- blockage of water supply.
