How to Fix HYGIENEPLUS SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Notice the ‘HygienePlus’ symbol is lit on the control panel. This signifies that a specific wash option has been activated.
  2. This is not an error message. It indicates the dishwasher will use a final rinse with water heated up to 70°C for enhanced sanitation.
  3. This feature is designed to provide a more hygienic clean for your dishes.
  4. If you did not intend to use this option, press the ‘HygienePlus’ button again to deselect it before the wash cycle begins.
  5. If the wash is already in progress, allow the cycle to finish to gain the benefit of the sanitary rinse.
  6. For your next load, simply select your preferred wash cycle without adding the ‘HygienePlus’ option if it’s not needed.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
