At the end of a program
At the end of a program the optical
control light flashes slowly with the door
closed.
If the door has opened slightly, and the
message
O
Finished
or
Drying Plus
appears in the display, this indicates
that the program has finished.
In the "Normal" program, the drying
fan will run for a few minutes after
the program is completed.
^
Open the door completely to
re-engage the door closing
mechanism.
The optical function light goes out 10
minutes after the end of a program.
,
If you have deactivated the
automatic door opening function
(see "Settings - Drying Plus"), but
would still like to open the door at
the end of the program, then make
sure that you open the door fully.
Otherwise steam from the
dishwasher could damage the edge
of the counter top because the fan is
no longer running.
^
Unload 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.
Unloading the lower basket first will
prevent water drops from the upper
basket and cutlery tray (depending on
model) from dropping onto dishes in
the lower basket.
^
Press the
K
button to turn the
dishwasher off.
The dishwasher continues to use
electricity until turned off with the
K
button.
Preparing your appliance for
an extended vacation
If you elect to turn off the water to your
home for an extended period of time,
please note that this may not be
enough to reduce the risk of a leak.
To be completely safe, you must
turn off the water supply to each
individual appliance. This means
under the sink for a dishwasher, at
the laundry bib for your washer, etc.
