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.

To cancel a washing programme in progress

To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher; press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3 until all the indicator lights will

turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light and eventually the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating that the running programme has been cancelled.

When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.
