20Unloading the dishwasher
Interrupt a washing programme in progress
•Open the dishwasher door; the programme will stop. Close the door; the programme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.
•Press the On/Off button, all lights will turn off. Press the On/Off button again; the pro- gramme will start from the point at which it was interrupted.
End of the washing programme
•The dishwasher will automatically stop and an audible signal informs you of the end of the washing programme.
•The light of the programme just ended will remain on.
•In the digital display appears a zero.
1. Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
It is recommended to switch off the appliance once the washing programme has ended. If this is not done, automatically after about 3 minutes from the end of the programme, all indicator lights will go off. The digital display shows 1 horizontal bar.
This will help to reduce the consumption of energy when you forget or for any reason cannot switch the appliance off once the programme has ended.
Press any button (except On/Off) and the control panel will show the same situation (in- dicator lights and digital display) as when the programme ended.
2.Open the dishwasher's door, leave it ajar and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.
Unloading the dishwasher
•Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks.
The dishes should therefore be allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
•Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the lower one.
•Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
CAUTION!
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
Care and cleaning
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time. Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
WARNING!
Before cleaning the filters ensure that the machine is switched off.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
