Do not expect a precise countdown as the wash cycle starts with an estimated cycle time that is updated as the cycle progresses and according to a number of parameters that affect the cycle itself (such as water hardness, the temperature of the water, the degree of soil, etc. ).

How to Keep Your Dishwasher in Shape After Every Wash After every wash, turn off the water supply to the appliance and leave the door slightly ajar so that moisture and odors are not trapped inside. Remove the Plug Before cleaning or performing maintenance, always remove the plug from the socket. No Solvents or Abrasive Cleaning Products To clean the exterior and rubber parts of the dishwasher, do not use solvents or abrasive cleaning products. Rather, use only a cloth and warm soapy water. To remove spots or stains from the surface of the interior, use a cloth dampened with water and a little white vinegar, or a cleaning product made specifically for dishwashers. When You Go on Holiday When you go on holiday, it is recommended that you run a wash cycle with the dishwasher empty and then remove the plug from the socket, turn off the water supply and leave the door of the appliance slightly ajar. This will help the seals last longer and prevent odors from forming within the appliance.

In this case, the wash cycle time will be shortened by about 15 minutes and the wash efficiency slightly reduced. [. . . ]
