Possible cause and solution
The function has been permanently
Knock2open
disabled.
 Switch the door opening function on again (see
"Knock2open" under "Settings").
If the door still will not open or if there is a power
failure, the door can still be opened manually using
the door opening aid supplied (see "Door opening
aid" under "Initial commissioning").
The safe mode of the dishwasher was activated.
This takes place in the following instances:
– If you do not close the door within 4 seconds of
the last press of a sensor button at program
start.
– If the door is open for longer than 4 seconds
during a program or before the FlexiTimer start
time is reached.
 Confirm with OK and close the door within
4 seconds.
The dishwasher has switched off automatically to
save energy.
 Turn the dishwasher back on using the  sensor
button.
The detergent compartment was still damp when
detergent was added.
 Only add the detergent when the detergent
compartment is dry.
Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
 Remove the residual detergent.
This is part of the normal function of the drying
system. The moisture will dissipate after a short
while.
