Operation
46
Programme end
The programme has finished when
Finished
appears in the display and
the door has opened slightly (if applic-
able).
The drying fan may continue to run for
a few minutes at the end of the pro-
gramme.
Open the door completely to re-en-
gage the door closing mechanism.
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 dish-
washer could damage the edge of
the worktop because the fan is no
longer running.
Switching off
At the end of a programme:
The dishwasher can be switched off
at any time using the
button.
Switching the dishwasher off during a
programme stops the programme.
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.
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
(if present).
This will prevent water drops from the
upper basket and cutlery tray from fall-
ing onto the dishes in the lower basket.
