Siemens distributed the new 45'er – as it was known internally – under the name LADY PLUS 45. Apart from the revolutionary new width, the dishwasher was fitted with the newly developed AquaStop, which offered full protection against water damage. The eco-plus system, as it was referred to, had a two-part dispensing chamber to allow the detergent to be dispensed in accordance with the degree of dirt of the dishes. This meant that it was also gentle on the environment. The pre-flush system in the dispensing chamber was another new feature, with the detergent being pre-flushed during the pre-rinse stage so that it was already dissolved when added to the main wash cycle. | [[Siemens]] distributed the new 45'er – as it was known internally – under the name LADY PLUS 45.

The program was selected electronically, though not yet fully automatically at that stage in the 1980s, as is the case today: The type of dishes, the load size and the degree of dirt had to be entered, with the dishwasher then selecting the correct program. The timer function allowed the machine to be set to start later, for example, to take advantage of a cheaper night-time electricity rate. The fast program needed just 29 minutes to clean smaller quantities of slightly soiled dishes for immediate reuse, thus reducing both water and detergent consumption by one third. | The program was selected electronically, though not yet fully automatically at that stage in the 1980s, as is the case today: The type of dishes, the load size and the degree of dirt had to be entered, with the dishwasher then selecting the correct program.
