							Unloading 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.
If you open the door fully after switching
off, the dishes will cool much faster.
Unloading the lower basket first will
prevent water drops from the upper
basket and cutlery tray (depending
on model) from dropping onto dishes
in the lower basket.
Interrupting a program
A program is interrupted as soon as the
door is opened.
If the door is closed again, the program
will continue from where it was
interrupted.
Water in the dishwasher is hot.
Danger of scalding.

necessary and exercise extreme
caution when doing so. Before
closing the door again, leave it ajar

enable the temperature in the wash
cabinet to settle. Close the door
