Gaggenau Introduces DF 260/261 Power DishwashersRestaurant-Grade Dishwashing Capabilities Meet Luxurious, Built-In Design

May, 2009 -- Gaggenau's new DF 260/261 24-inch power dishwashers are strong enough to clean up after the most prolific home chefs in 59 minutes flat.

The DF 260/261 power dishwasher's Power Boost option renders dishes clean and dry in 59 minutes for a quick turnaround with spotless results. And an Intense Wash setting is perfect for mixed loads. Six additional programs include an Extra-Dry setting that removes all water particles from hard-to-dry plastics such as Tupperware.

Gaggeneau's DF 261 24-Inch Power Dishwasher

Economical in all the right ways, the DF 260/261 power dishwashers save time, money and energy without sacrificing strength. Gaggenau's exclusive Aqua sensor technology determines the load and degree of soiling, optimizing the water temperature, water quantity and the length of the washing cycle accordingly. The automatic detergent function adjusts the amount of detergent used to the needs of each load. Not only does it take the guesswork out of doing the dishes, it also conserves energy and water by avoiding the excess usage of both. The DF 260/261 power dishwashers are Energy Star® certified and their Energy Save setting is the most efficient in its class.

Featuring a third basket for cutlery, espresso cups, small plates and chopsticks, and Gaggenau's Flex Plus basket system, the DF 260/261 dishwashers offer interior configurations to fit the largest pots and pans while protecting delicate china. The middle basket, with its fully extendable pull-out rack, adjusts to three levels, even when fully loaded, to accommodate oversized dishes and cutlery, and can be removed completely for greater flexibility.

Stemware support bars and dividers accommodate up to 24 wine glasses and, combined with Gaggenau's Glassware Technology and anti-slip grids, ensure that the most delicate stemware remains intact.

The DF 260/261 dishwashers are also available stainless steel- or aluminum-backed glass door panels to match Gaggenau's ovens series, or can configure seamlessly with custom cabinetry. The dishwashers' movable parts are color-coded, allowing users to load and unload dishes and cutlery with ease. With a noise level of only 41 decibels, the DF 260/261 dishwashers are the perfect silent partner for design-conscious home chefs: a discreet Info-Light projects a red dot onto the floor beneath the dishwasher to indicate it is in operation.
