Knock2open
abled.
 Turn the door-opening function on again (see
"Knock2open" under "Settings").
If the door still will not open or if there is a power fail-
ure, the door can still be opened manually using the
the door-opening aid supplied (see "Door-opening
aid" under "Before using for the first time").
The dishwasher has turned off automatically to save
energy.
 Turn the dishwasher back on using the  sensor
button.

manently.
 Turn the lighting back on again (see "BrilliantLight"

 Contact Miele Technical Service.
The detergent compartment was still damp when de-
tergent was added.
 Only add the detergent when the detergent com-

Residual detergent is blocking the catch.
 Remove the residual detergent.
This is part of the normal function of the drying sys-
tem. The moisture will dissipate after a short time.
