Your dishwasher is factory-set  automatically power on for 30 seconds whenever you open the drawer.  You can turn this setting off. This turns all tones off except for fault alerts. When this setting is on, the drawer will automatically lock 30 seconds after it’s
closed.  It can then be unlocked by pressing Start Button.JPG (unless Keylock or Childlock is also activated). Useful in boats or motor homes.
