At the end of a program
The program has ended if the time display shows a 0.
Now you can open the dishwasher and unload the dishware.
At the end of a program:
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.
