(see Settings - Drying plus) it is
recommended to open the door

the door as it is closing. Danger of
injury.
Preparing your appliance for
an extended vacaion
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.
Interrupting a program
A program is interrupted as soon as the
door is opened. If the door is closed,
the program will continue from where it
was interrupted.
Open the door with care. The
water in the dishwasher is hot.
Danger of scalding. Before closing
the door again, leave it ajar for
approx. 20 secs. This will enable the
temperature in the wash cabinet to
settle. Close the door firmly until it
clicks into place.
