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 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
The optical function light goes out 10 minutes after the end of a program.
If you have deactivated the auto- matic 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 button to turn the dishwasher off.
The dishwasher continues to use electricity until turned off with the 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.
