Waterproof System
All Miele dishwashers are specially de- signed to shut off the water intake and drain the wash cabinet in the rare event of an internal water valve failure.
For this feature to be active, the ma- chine must be "On" (not necessarily running), and the door must be closed.
At the end of a program
At the end of a program the optic indi- cator will flash.
The optic indicator will go out after an hour, or sooner if the door is opened.
After a program has ended:
^Open the door.
The optic indicator and the program in- dicator will go out.
^Press the "Off" button (16).
Allow dishes to cool before unloading.
It is advisable to turn off the water supply if the dishwasher will not be used for a period of time (e.g. while vacationing).
