Interrupt or cancel a washing programme in progress only if it is absolutely necessary. NB Hot steam may escape when the door is opened.
End of the washing programme
- The dishwasher will automatically stop.
- An audible signal informs you of the end of the washing programme.

- Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off button.
Unloading the dishwasher
- Allow the dishes 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 door of the dishwasher as the stainless steel will eventually become cooler than the dishes.
