Every dishwasher is tested at the fac-
tory. There will be residual water in the
machine from this test. It is not an in-
dication that the dishwasher has been
used previously.
Opening the door
In some programs the door automati-
cally opens slightly to assist the drying
process.
This function can be deactivated, if pre-
ferred (see “AutoOpen” under “Set-
tings”).
Pull the handle to open the door.
Open the door fully to disengage the
locking mechanism.
At the end of the program, if the Au-
toOpen function is on, the door locking
pins automatically retract.
To prevent a technical fault, do not
hold the door locking pins firmly
when they are retracting.
If the door is opened during operation,
all functions are automatically inter-
rupted.
Risk of scalding due to hot wa-
ter.
During operation, water in the dish-
washer may be very hot.
During operation, only open the door
with extreme caution.
Risk of injury due to door open-
ing automatically.
The door may open automatically at
the end of a program.
Keep the area around the door free
of obstructions.
Closing the door
Insert the baskets.
Raise the door upwards until the
catch engages.
Risk of crushing due to the door
closing.
When closing the door, you are at
risk of shutting your fingers in it.
Do not put your hand inside the door
as it is closing.
