Miele PG 8080, Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 36 / 80

At the end of the programme
At the end of a programme, the
In-operation indicator light will be
visible flashing slowly with the door
shut.
If the door has opened slightly, and
O
Finished
or
AutoOpen
appears in the
display, this indicates that the
programme has finished.
With "Additional drying" and
"AutoOpen" activated, the drying fan
will continue to run for a few minutes
after the programme has finished.
^
Open the door completely to
re-engage the door closing
mechanism.
You can now empty the dishwasher.
The In-operation indicator light will go
out 10 minutes after the end of the
programme if the door is closed.
,
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.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
^
Open the door.
^
Switch the machine off with the
-
button.
The dishwasher will continue to use
electricity until it is switched off with
the
-
button.
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 falling on to the dishes in
the lower basket or water drops from
the cutlery tray from falling onto the
dishes in the upper and lower baskets.
