Standby
To save energy, the dishwasher will
switch off a few minutes after the last
time a button has been pressed or a
few minutes after the end of the
programme.
^
Press the
K
button to switch the
dishwasher back on again.
You can deactivate Standby, if wished
(see "Settings menu, Optimise
standby"). If Optimise standby is
deactivated, the dishwasher will not
switch off until 6 hours after the end of
the programme, resulting in higher
energy consumption.
The dishwasher will not switch off if
salt or rinse aid needs to be
replenished or there is a fault.
If you only use combination
products containing salt and rinse
aid in your dishwasher, you can
switch off the reminders to replenish
salt and rinse aid so that the
dishwasher will switch off despite a
lack of salt or rinse aid (see
"Settings menu
!
, Refill display").
You cannot switch off fault
messages.
At the end of the programme
At the end of a programme the
In-operation indicator light flashes on
and off slowly. It is visible even with the
door closed.
It will stop flashing one hour after the
programme has finished.
If the message
Programme finished
or
AutoOpen
appears in the display, and
the door has opened slightly, this
indicates that the programme has
finished.
The drying fan will continue to run
for a few minutes at the end of the
Quick wash programme.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
,
If you have deactivated the auto-
matic door opening function (see
"Settings menu
!
, AutoOpen"), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the programme, then
make sure that you open the door
fully. Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
