Before using for the first time
22
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”).
This dishwasher has a motorized door
opener which is activated by knocking
on the door front (Knock2Open func-
tion).
Knock twice in quick succession on
the top third of the door front.
The door will open a little.
Hold the door at the top edge and
pull the door out of the lock.
The door locking pins will 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.
You can change the number of knocks
required or deactivate the function (see
“Knock2open” under “Settings”).
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.
