The On/Off indicator light remains on until the On/Off push button is depressed.

10. Switch off the dishwasher

Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button and open the door.

Wait a few minutes before removing the dishes; in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

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.

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

In general it is not advisable to open the door while the machine is working; if the door is opened however, a safety device ensures that the machine stops.

Important!

Care must be taken if the door is opened during the hot phase or immediately after a programme has finished, as steam may escape.
