Operation
48
Switching off the dishwasher

Open the door.

The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the
 button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme cancels the programme.
You can also do this to stop an ongoing
timer.

Risk of damage from leaking
water.
Overflowing water can cause
damage.
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.
The dishes will cool much faster if you
open the door fully after switching off
the dishwasher.

First unload the lower basket, then
the upper basket and finally the
cutlery tray.
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
