If the dishwasher is not started or the door is not closed within 2 minutes
of the last button press, the machine switches off.

Time remaining

Once you have chosen a programme, programme mode and options,
the time the programme took when last used is displayed.

Status light™

Status light

The status light at the bottom on the dishwasher provides information
by means of 3 different colours.

Blue - Load more

The programme has started, but you can still load more dishes.

Red - Do not load

You should not load more dishes (risk of poorer dishwashing result).

Flashing red indicates a problem. See also the chapter Troubleshooting

.

Green - Unload

The dishwashing programme is finished. Standby light for 60 minutes.

Stopping or changing a programme

If you want to change programme after starting the dishwasher, open
the door then press and hold Start/Stop for three seconds. Add more
detergent if the lid of the detergent dispenser has opened. Then choose
a new programme, press Start/Stop and close the door.

If you want to load more dishes

Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes
and close the door. After a while, the dishwasher continues the
programme.

If the dishwasher is turned off due to a
power failure

If the dishwashing programme was not finished, the interrupted
programme continues when power is restored.

NOTE!

During drying, the programme is interrupted if the power is cut or
the door is open for more than 2 minutes.

Once the programme has finished

The end of the programme is indicated by one short signal from the
buzzer. The chapter Settings describes how to change this function.

Moreover, the end of the programme is indicated by the status light
turning green.

The dishwasher switches off automatically after the programme ends.
Shut off the water tap after each use.

How to get the best drying results

• Fully load the dishwasher.

• Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water

will run off. This is also important for plastic items.

• Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.

• Activate the Auto Open option.

• Activate the High temperature setting. See the chapter Settings.

• Activate the Extra Dry setting. See the chapter Settings.

• Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher
before unloading them.

Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper
basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
