🔄 Official Reset Sequence

Open the dishwasher door slightly so you can access the top or front control buttons.

Locate the 'START' button (which also has 'Reset 3 Sec' printed below it).

Press and hold down the 'START' button for 3 to 5 full seconds until the display flashes '0:01' (or active cycle LED turns off).

Close the door completely. The drain pump will automatically run for 60 seconds to evacuate any dirty wash water inside the tub.

When the timer reaches '0:00' and beeps, open the door. The dishwasher is now completely reset and ready for a fresh cycle.

Safety Warning: Hot water or steam may vent when opening the door mid-cycle.
