Error Code: HYGIENEPLUS SYMBOL Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Indicates a feature that uses a hotter final rinse (up to 70°C) for a higher anti-bacterial performance.
How to Fix HYGIENEPLUS SYMBOL Error (Step-by-Step)
- Notice the ‘HygienePlus’ symbol is lit on the control panel. This signifies that a specific wash option has been activated.
- 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.
- This feature is designed to provide a more hygienic clean for your dishes.
- If you did not intend to use this option, press the ‘HygienePlus’ button again to deselect it before the wash cycle begins.
- If the wash is already in progress, allow the cycle to finish to gain the benefit of the sanitary rinse.
- For your next load, simply select your preferred wash cycle without adding the ‘HygienePlus’ option if it’s not needed.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
