switching off the unit
To save energy, remember to switch the dishwasher off using the button. The dishwasher will
continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the button.
unloading the dishwasher
Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes tend to break and chip more
easily when they are hot. Therefore, if you open the dishwasher door fully after switching off, it will
allow the dishes to cool down much faster.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g., you are going on
holiday, please disconnect the dishwasher from the mains supply and switch off the water
supply.
Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket.
This will prevent water drops from the upper basket from falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
