I live in France and have a Neff dishwasher that was already installed. It is however exactly the same as a Neff d/w I had in England. I don't know the model no. but the description is as follows: on the top/lip of the door is the start button, extreme left, then the motif Neff in the middle, then the salt, rinse aid etc alert buttons, then on the extreme right, the type of wash 65 degrees, 55 and just rinse. At the end of the 65 degree wash which lasts 1hr 40mins it emits 5 quite loud beeps, then stops and then after 10 minutes it emits a further 5 beeps and continues in total for about 4 intervals or until the door is opened. How can I disable these beeps?

If you cannot locate the manual for some reason you can cancel (or restore) the end alarm as below:

Press and hold down one of the function buttons (this will vary depending upon the age and model of the machine). It could be the Eco 50, Quick 35/45 or the Time Delay button. If you chose the wrong button it will do no harm but if you do change an existing setting make sure that you restore it before doing anything else.

Whilst holding the button down press the Power or Start button then release the function button.

If there is no LCD display on the machine the LED above the button will flash, if you have an LCD display it will show a number between 0 and 3. With the former pressing the function key will turn the alarm on and off, with the latter pressing the function key will change the alarm volume, 3 being loud and 0 being off.

Press the Power or Start button again and your chosen setting will be saved.
