Warning and Safety instructions ~ Inadvertently filling the salt reservoir with powder or liquid dishwasher detergent will damage the water softener. Make sure you have picked up the correct packet of dishwasher salt before filling the salt reservoir! ~ Only use special coarse grained dishwasher salt for reactivation, as other salts may contain insoluble additives which can impair the functioning of the water softener.
Caring for our environment Disposal of the packing material The transport and protective packing has been selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.
Caring for our environment Energy saving dishwashing This dishwasher is exceptionally economical in its use of water and electricity. You can make the most of your appliance by following these tips: ^ If your water supply is suitable, this dishwasher can be connected to a hot water supply for further economies. If the water is heated by solar panels, for example, this would be energy efficient. However, if your water is heated by electricity we would recommend connection to cold water.
Before using for the first time To open the door Safety lock ^ Press the release catch inside the door grip upwards and pull the door open. Use the safety lock to prevent children opening the dishwasher door. If the door is opened during operation all functions are automatically interrupted. ^ To lock the door, push the slide underneath the door grip to the right. ^ To unlock the door, push the slide to the left. To close the door ^ Push the baskets right in.
Before using for the first time Water softener In order to achieve good cleaning results, the dishwasher needs to operate with soft water. Hard water results in the build-up of calcium deposits on crockery and in the dishwasher. Mains water with a hardness level higher than 0.7 mmol/l (4 °d – German scale) needs to be softened. This takes place automatically in the integrated water softener. – The water softener requires dishwasher salt.
Before using for the first time To programme the water hardness level Each time a button is pressed, one of the indicator lights will flash and light up in the control panel. However, only the indicator lights mentioned in the following programming process stages are significant. The number of times the 8 programme sequence indicator flashes tells you the water hardness level which has been set (see chart). 8 Flash frequency mmol/l °f 1- 4 0.2 - 0.7 2- 7 1 short 5- 7 0.9 - 1.
Before using for the first time Checking the programmed water hardness level ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the K button. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "12 o'clock" position. ^ Press the Start/Stop button J / M in, and whilst holding it in switch the dishwasher on using the K button. Keep the J / M button pressed in until the J / M indicator light comes on. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "3 o'clock" position.
Before using for the first time Before using the appliance for the first time you require: – Approx. 2 litres of water, – Approx. 2 kg dishwasher salt*, – Domestic dishwasher detergent*, – Rinse aid* formulated for domestic dishwashers. Important Before filling the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt for the first time, you must fill it with approx. 2 litres of water to enable the salt to dissolve. Once the dishwasher has been used, there is always sufficient water in the reservoir.
Before using for the first time ^ Remove the lower basket and unscrew the salt reservoir cap. Only open the salt reservoir when you want to fill it with dishwasher salt as water or salt solution will run out of the reservoir when the cap is removed. ^ Fill the reservoir with approx. 2 litres of water (first use only). Salt refill indicator F ^ Fill the salt reservoir with dishwasher salt when the salt refill indicator F comes on. (If it comes on during a programme, wait until the end of the programme).
Before using for the first time Rinse aid Rinse aid is necessary to ensure water does not cling and leave marks on crockery during the drying phase and helps crockery dry faster after it has been washed. Rinse aid is poured into the storage reservoir and the amount set is dispensed automatically. If you only ever use combination products containing rinse aid in your dishwasher, you do not need to add rinse aid.
Before using for the first time Rinse aid indicator ( When the rinse aid indicator ( comes on, the reservoir contains sufficient rinse aid for 2 - 3 programmes only. ^ Add rinse aid in plenty of time. ^ Add rinse aid only until it is visible in the opening. The rinse aid reservoir holds approx. 110 ml. ^ Close the flap firmly so that it clicks into place. Otherwise water can enter the rinse aid reservoir during a programme. ^ Wipe up any spilled rinse aid.
Before using for the first time Setting the rinse aid dosage You can adjust the rinse aid dosage for best results. The rinse aid dosage can be set from approx. 0-6 ml. It is set to a recommended setting of approx. 3 ml at the factory. If spots appear on crockery and glassware: ^ Increase the rinse aid dosage. If clouding or smearing appears on crockery and glassware: ^ Decrease the rinse aid dosage. ^ Turn the programme selector to the "5 o'clock" position.
Loading the dishwasher Note Remove coarse food residues from crockery. There is no need to rinse items under running water. ,Do not wash items soiled with ash, sand, wax, lubricating grease or paint in the dishwasher. These substances will damage the dishwasher. Crockery can be loaded anywhere in the baskets, but the following notes should be observed: – Do not place crockery and cutlery inside other pieces where they may be concealed. – Load the crockery so that water can access all surfaces.
Loading the dishwasher Items not suitable for dishwashers: – Wooden cutlery and crockery or items with wooden parts: these may discolour and fade. The glue used in these items is not dishwasher-proof and wooden handles may come loose after being washed in a dishwasher. – Craft items, antiques, valuable vases and decorative glassware are also not suitable for dishwashers. – Plastic items which are not heat resistant: the high temperatures in the dishwasher may cause them to melt or lose shape.
Loading the dishwasher Upper basket ,For safety reasons, do not operate the dishwasher without the upper and lower baskets in place. Cup rack (depending on model) ^ To make room for tall items, raise the rack upwards. Glasses can be arranged along the cup rack to give them some support during the programme. ^ Lower the cup rack and lean the glasses against it. ^ Use the upper basket for small, lightweight and delicate items such as cups, saucers, glasses, dessert bowls, etc.
Loading the dishwasher Adjusting the upper basket In order to gain more space for taller pieces of crockery in the lower or upper basket, the upper basket can be adjusted on three levels with 2 cm between each level. The upper basket can also be set at an angle with one side high and the other side low. This can be useful to help prevent water being left in deep dishes etc. Ensure, however, that the basket can slide smoothly in and out of the cabinet. It is better to adjust the basket before loading it.
Loading the dishwasher Lower basket ^ For larger and heavier items such as plates, serving platters, saucepans, bowls, etc. Glasses, cups and small items such as saucers can also be placed in the lower basket. Do not place thin, delicate glassware in the lower basket. Heavily soiled items Dishwashers with cutlery tray ^ Place large platters and dishes in the centre of the lower basket. When tilted, plates up to 35 cm in diameter can be accommodated.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery Cutlery tray (depending on model) If spoon handles do not fit between the holders, then lay them the other way round. ^ Arrange the cutlery in the tray as shown. To make unloading much easier, cutlery should be grouped in zones, one for knives, one for forks, one for spoons, etc. Spoon heads should be placed in contact with at least one of the serrated retainers on the base of the cutlery tray to ensure that water runs off them freely.
Loading the dishwasher Cutlery basket (depending on model) The cutlery basket can be placed anywhere on the front rows of spikes in the lower basket. ^ Fit it onto the cutlery basket if required. ^ To avoid the risk of injury, knives and forks should be placed with the handles upwards in the basket. However, cutlery placed handle down in the basket will come out cleaner and drier. ^ Place small items of cutlery in the individual slots on three sides of the cutlery basket.
Operation Detergent ,Only use detergents formulated for domestic dishwashers. Do not use washing-up liquid. Active ingredients Modern detergents contain various active ingredients, the most important of which are: – Phosphates to prevent calcification. – Alkalis to aid removal of dried on soiling. – Enzymes to break down starch and dissolve protein. – Oxygen based bleaching agents to remove coloured stains (e.g. tea, coffee, tomato sauce).
Operation ,Avoid inhalation of powder detergents and do not ingest dishwasher detergent. Dishwasher detergents contain irritant or corrosive ingredients which can cause burning in the nose, mouth and throat if swallowed, or inhibit breathing. Consult a doctor immediately if detergent has been swallowed or inhaled. Keep detergent and other household agents out of the reach of children at all times. Keep children away from the dishwasher when the door is open.
Operation Switching on Starting the programme ^ Make sure the spray arms are not obstructed. ^ Turn the programme selector clockwise or anti-clockwise to the required programme. ^ Close the door. ^ Open the stopcock, if it is closed. ^ Switch the dishwasher on using the On/Off button K. The O programme sequence indicator light will come on if the programme selector has not been turned to a programme. Selecting a programme Choose your programme according to the type of load and how dirty it is.
Operation Standby Switching off To save energy, the dishwasher will switch to Standby mode a few minutes after the last time a button has been pressed or a few minutes after the end of the programme. The indicator lights will go out and only the J / M, indicator will flash slowly. At the end of a programme: ^ To switch the indicators back on again, press the J / M button. This will switch off Standby.
Operation Interrupting a programme A programme is interrupted as soon as the door is opened. If the door is closed again, the programme will continue from the point it was at before the door was opened. ,Water in the dishwasher may be hot. Danger of scalding. Only open the door if absolutely necessary and exercise extreme caution when doing so. Before closing the door again, leave it ajar for approx. 20 seconds. This will enable the temperature in the wash cabinet to settle.
Operation Factory default setting The 8 programme sequence indicator light shows whether a setting other than the factory default setting has been set. If you have altered any settings from the factory default, you can re-set them back to the factory default settings as follows: – If the 8 programme sequence indicator light is flashing: All settings are factory default settings. ^ Switch the dishwasher off using the K button.
Cleaning and care Check your dishwasher regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). This way faults and problems can be avoided. ,The external surfaces of the dishwasher are susceptible to scratching. Contact with unsuitable cleaning agents can alter or discolour the external surfaces. Cleaning the door and the door seal ^ Wipe the door seals regularly with a damp cloth to remove food deposits. ^ Wipe off any food or drink residues which may have dripped onto the sides of dishwasher door before closing it.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the door front ,Remove any soiling immediately. If this is not done, it might become impossible to remove and could cause the external surfaces to alter or discolour. ^ Clean the front using a damp Miele microfibre E-cloth*, or with a clean sponge and a solution of hot water and washing-up liquid. Then dry with a soft cloth.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the filters in the wash cabinet The filter combination in the base of the wash cabinet retains coarse soil from the suds solution, preventing it accessing the circulation system and re-entering the cabinet through the spray arms. ,This dishwasher must not be used without all the filters in place. Collection of coarse soil may cause the filters to clog. The level of soiling and time it takes before the filters need cleaning will vary depending on use.
Cleaning and care To clean the inside of the filter, the flap must be opened: ^ Press catches a together in the direction of the arrows as shown, and open the filter b. ^ Rinse all the filters under running water. ^ Then close the flap so that the catch engages. 38 ^ Replace the filter combination so that it lies flat in the base of the wash cabinet. ^ Then turn the handle clockwise to lock the filter combination in place.
Cleaning and care Cleaning the spray arms ^ Remove the lower basket. Particles of food can get stuck in the spray arm jets and bearings. The spray arms should therefore be inspected and cleaned regularly (approx. every 4 - 6 months). ^ Switch the dishwasher off. Remove the spray arms as follows: ^ Take out the cutlery tray (if your dishwasher is fitted with one). ^ Push the top spray arm upwards to engage the inner ratchet. Then unscrew the spray arm.
