Switch the machine back on using the ON/OFF button and select the new wash cycle using the P button; start the cycle by closing the door.
Adding extra crockery
Without switching off the machine, open the door, taking care to avoid the escaping steam, and place the crockery inside the dishwasher. Close the door: the cycle starts from the point at which it was interrupted.
