Operating the Dishwasher
WARNING RISK OF INJURY! To avoid risk of injury, always use caution when opening the door during or following a wash cycle as hot water or steam may escape. Do not fully open the door until water noises have stopped and steam has subsided.
Protection against unintentional operation
Your dishwasher is equipped with a function that helps to prevent unintentional operation (e.g. by children). After starting the dishwasher, the dishwasher door has to be closed within 4 seconds, otherwise the operation will be paused.

■ pressing Start to begin a wash cycle
■ setting Delay time and pressing Start
■ opening the door while Delay time is active
■ opening the door during a wash cycle. Note: This function cannot be deactivated.
Operating the touch buttons
Buttons are sensitive and should be touched gently. Avoid any grease or food particles resting on the buttons as they could activate the dishwasher. Wiping and cleaning can also activate the dishwasher. For best results, use bare, clean hands when touching the buttons. To clean the touch buttons wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
AquaSensor

If the rinse water is not yet clear, the water is drained and is replaced with fresh water.
