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.
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.
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.
We suggest:
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 onto the dishes in the lower basket.
delay start
The starting time of a washing programme can be delayed and adjusted. Please follow the steps
below.
1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the dishwasher.
3. Select your preferred programme.
4. Press the “delay start” button.
5. Set the required delay start time using the “delay start” button.
6. Close the door and the unit will start the programme at the assigned time automatically.
half load
In case you do not have enough dishes for a full load, the half load option can be selected for
washing with upper spray only. Only load the dishes into the upper basket. This will save hot water
and electricity usage. Please follow the steps below.
1. Open the dishwasher door and load your soiled dishes and crockery onto the upper basket.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the dishwasher.
3. Select your preferred programme.
4. Press the “1/2” button.
5. Close the door and the unit will start the programme with upper spray only.
Each press of this button increases the
delay start time by 1 hour increments.
