After unpacking, check all parts for
transport damage and that the
delivery is complete.
If you have any complaints, please
contact the retailer where you
purchased the device or our customer
service.
3.4 Efficient Dry A notice:The device was checked at the
factory to ensure that it is working
properly. This may leave water stains
on the device. The water stains
disappear after the first rinse.
The device door opens automatically
during the drying phase. This results in
particularly economical drying.
For best drying results, wait for the
end of the program before clearing
out the dishes. The program is
finished when the display shows
"00h:00m".
If the automatic door opening is
deactivated, energy consumption
increases and the drying phase is
usually shortened.
