Operation

At the end of the programme
The programme has finished when
Finished or AutoOpen appears in the
display and the door has opened
slightly (if applicable).
If Additional drying was selected and
AutoOpen is active, the drying fan will
run for a few minutes after the
programme has ended.
Open the door fully so that the door
catch rail retracts again.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
If you have deactivated the
automatic door opening function (see
"Settings menu, AutoOpen"), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully.
Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
Switch the dishwasher off with the
button.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the button.
Useful tip: If the dishwasher is not
going to be used for a longer period of
time, e.g. whilst on holiday, the tap
should be turned off.
Unloading the dishwasher
Dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot. Allow the
dishes to cool until they are comfortable
enough to handle before unloading
them.
If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.
First unload the lower basket, then the
upper basket and finally the cutlery tray
(if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the upper and
lower baskets.
