Unloading the Dishwasher
Allowing dishes to cool down before unloading is important as dishes tend to break and
chip more easily when they are hot. Therefore, if you open the dishwasher door fully after
switching off, it will allow the dishes to cool down much faster.
If the dishwasher is not going to be used for a long period of time, e.g. whilst on holiday, disconnect the
unit from the mains supply.
Unload the lower basket first, followed by the cutlery basket and then the upper basket. This will prevent
water drops from the upper basket from falling on to the dishes in the lower basket.
Switching Off the Unit
To save energy, remember to switch the dishwasher off using the On/Off button. The
dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is switched off with the On/Off button.
Half Load
In case you do not have enough dishes for a full load, the half load option can be selected.
Three types of wash cycles can be selected: lower basket, upper basket and both baskets. This
will help save hot water and electricity. To use these functions, please follow the steps below.
1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery onto the basket.
2. Press the On/Off button to turn on the dishwasher.
3. Select your preferred programme.
4. Press the Alt button, the half load indicator will light up.
If you have dishes only in the upper basket, press the Alt button repeatedly until
the upper indicator is lit. Only dishes on the upper basket will be washed. Make sure
there are no dishes in the lower basket while using this feature.
If you have dishes only in the lower basket, press the Alt button repeatedly until the
lower indicator is lit. Only dishes on the lower basket will be washed. Make sure that
there are no dishes in the upper basket while using this feature.
5. Close the door and the unit will start the programme.
