How to cancel or change a wash cycle

A cycle that is underway can only be changed if it has only been running for a short time, otherwise, the detergent may have already been released and the appliance may have already drained the wash water. If this is the case, the detergent dispenser must be refilled. Open the door, press the ‘Programme Key’ for more than 3 seconds, then you can change the programme to the desired cycle setting. Then close the door.

• To cancel a programme and/or change the programme: Open the door, press the ‘Programme Key’ for more than 3 seconds, then you can change the programme to the desired cycle setting. Then close the door.
• To cancel a ‘Delayed Start’ press and hold down the Delayed Start button whilst switching off using the On/Off button.

At the end of the wash cycle

When the washing cycle has finished, the dishwasher will emit an acoustic signal for 8 seconds, then stop. Wait approximately 20-30 seconds before opening the door. This will allow the dishes ant utensils to cool and dry better. Open the door and turn the appliance off using the On/Off button before removing the dishes and utensils.

Loading cutlery and dishes

The following items are not suitable for use in the dishwasher: cutlery with wooden handles, plastic items that are not heat resistant, older cutlery with glued parts that are not temperature resistant, pewter or copper items, steel items prone to rusting, wooden platters and items made from synthetic fibres.

What do you need to do before loading the dishwasher?

• Remove all left over food and debris
• Soften remnants of burnt food in pans
• Load hollow items such as cups, glasses, pans etc. with the opening downwards so that water cannot collect in the container or a deep base.
• Dishes and items of cutlery must not lie inside one another, or cover each other
• To avoid damage to glasses they must not touch.
• Lay small items in the cutlery basket

Before closing the door, ensure that the spray arms can rotate freely.

How to load cutlery

For best results we recommend you use the cutlery grid provided (if the size and dimensions permit) Place knives and other items of cutlery with sharp points or edges with their handles facing upwards.

Load the basket. Arrange serving dishes and large lids around the edge of the basket.
Load upper basket. Light items (plastic bowls etc.) must not be loaded in the upper basket and arranged so they do not move.
For taller items the cup racks can be folded upwards If plates are to be loaded in the upper basket: Load them starting from the rear positions; tilting them slightly forwards and avoiding the front positions near the door.
