Features of PMM "Flavia"

Not a single manufacturer will say a bad word about their products. That is why, when evaluating household appliances, we pay so much attention to reviews from consumers and service technicians. Let’s find out what the manufacturer focuses on when praising its dishwashers:

• “Intelligent” dispenser - it monitors the hardness of the water and, depending on this, consumes the right amount of salt;
• A flow-type heating element is installed - the water is heated instantly, the cycle time is reduced;
• Thanks to the ASC motor, you can control the rotation speed of the nozzles in the chamber;
• S-Type sprayers are used, directing water into every square centimeter of the chamber - this ensures the quality of washing dishes.

They are the most popular variant of dishwasher models. They hide behind closet doors without changing the interior of the room. A wide range of the line of this modification will allow anyone who decides to make such a purchase to choose a suitable dishwasher:

1. Compact model. This model can be up to 45 centimeters wide and is the best option for a small kitchen. It is worth considering that the load on such a machine is small, so this option should be considered by families of up to 3 people.
2. Full size model. Suitable for large families or those people who use a lot of dishes at home. Simultaneous loading - up to 14 sets of dishes.

Functionality of brand machines

The number of built-in modes depends on the cost of the model. The stage of the selected program, the presence of detergent, the delay timer and service error codes are displayed on the digital display. In order to adjust the settings and add forgotten dishes, the running cycle can be paused.

The “Glass” program is indispensable for fragile glass cups, glasses, glasses, and porcelain items. She carries out gentle cleaning for 110 minutes, dousing the dishes with water at a temperature of 40 degrees.

Dishwashing appliances "Flavia" BI 45 series can operate in the following programs:

1. Standard . Lasts for 155 minutes in 55 degree water. Optimal for daily washing of different types of cutlery with moderate soiling.

5. Automatic . Can be used for any utensils with different levels of dirt. In this mode, the machine itself assesses the condition of the cutlery after loading, and then selects the desired intensity of washing and rinsing. The working cycle lasts 120-180 minutes.

In intensive modes, you can use easy-to-use dishwasher tablets. They replace regenerating salt, powder itself and rinse aid. The 3 in 1 function allows the machine to adapt to the combination of products and achieve ideal cleaning results.

When turning on programs with insufficiently high water temperature, tablets are not recommended, as they may not completely dissolve.

• If you do not use pre-soaking, machines do not clean the rims of pots well from dried food;
• During operation of the device, neighboring cabinets heat up;
• The machine makes an excessively loud beep when you press the menu buttons on the control panel;
• The quality of washing in the economy mode leaves much to be desired - it is better to choose this program only for slightly soiled dishes;
• Despite the stated performance, the cars are quite noisy.

When using built-in models of the brand, users often complain that after the washing cycle, stains remain on the dishes and they do not dry completely. The problem may be related to the level of water hardness in a particular region and can be solved by increasing the amount of rinse aid used.
