REMOVING THE DISHES
At the end of the washing program, wait at least 20 minutes before removing the dishes, to allow
them to cool down. To prevent any water droplets on the upper basket from falling on the dishes in
the lower basket, it is advisable to unload the lower basket first, and then the upper basket.
