Use
Program sequence indicator
After a program has started, the program sequence indicator displays the respective program step.
At the end of a program
The program has ended when a 0 appears in the time display and "End" lights up in the program sequence display.
If the Express program was selected, the drying fan will run for a few minutes after the program has ended.
Open the door.
Press the button to turn the dishwasher off.
The dishwasher will continue to use electricity until it is turned off with the button.
If you would 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.
The dishes will cool much faster if you open the door when the program has ended.
Unload the lower basket first, then the upper basket and then the cutlery tray (depending on the model).
This will prevent water from the upper basket and cutlery tray from dripping onto dishes in the lower basket.
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.
