Operation
44
Program end
The program has finished when
End
appears in the display and the door has
opened slightly (if applicable).
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the
program.
Open the door completely to re-
engage the door closing mechanism.
The dishwasher can now be emptied.
If you have deactivated the
automatic door-opening function
(see “Settings menu, AutoOpen”),
but would still like to open the door
at the end of the program, 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 program:
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the
button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
program stops the program.
Switching the dishwasher off during the
run-up to a delay start time (FlexiTimer)
will also stop the process.
If the dishwasher is not going to be
used for a longer period of time, e.g.
while on vacation, the water supply
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 when the program has
ended.
First unload the lower basket, then the
upper basket and finally the cutlery tray
(if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from
falling onto the dishes in the lower
basket.
