If you want to load more dishes
Open the door. The dishwasher stops automatically. Add the dishes
and close the door. After a while, the dishwasher continues the
programme.
If the dishwashing programme was started using Remote start, the
interrupted programme (without the function Remote start) continues
when the door is closed.
If the dishwasher is turned off due to a
power failure
If the dishwashing programme was not finished, the interrupted
programme continues when power is restored.
If the dishwashing programme was started using Remote start and
was not finished, the interrupted programme (without the function
Remote start) continues when power is restored.
NOTE!
During drying, the programme is interrupted if the power is cut or
the door is open for more than 2 minutes.
Once the programme has finished
The end of the programme is indicated by one short signal from the
buzzer. The chapter Settings describes how to change this function.
Moreover, the end of the programme is indicated by the status light
turning green.
The dishwasher switches off automatically after the programme ends.
Shut off the water tap after each use.
How to get the best drying results
Fully load the dishwasher.
Angle dishes with hollows, such as cups, so that the rinse water
will run off. This is also important for plastic items.
Top up with rinse aid or increase the rinse aid dosage level.
Activate the Extra Dry option.
Activate the High temperature setting. See the chapter Settings.
Open the door a little once the programme has finished.
Allow the dishes to cool before unloading the dishwasher.

Unloading the dishwasher

Hot porcelain is more fragile. Leave the dishes to cool in the dishwasher
before unloading them.
Unload the lower basket first to avoid any water drops from the upper
basket falling onto the dishes in the lower basket.
