Operation

Switching off
At the end of a programme:
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the
button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme stops the programme.
Switching the dishwasher off during the
run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer)
will also stop the process.
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
whilst on holiday, the stopcock
should be closed.
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
(depending on model).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
